BHAs are a group of acids often found in flowering plants and herbs. The most common one is Salicylic Acid, believed to dissolve dead skin cells. Salicylic Acid decreases both the frequency and severity of acne eruptions by reducing acne-related inflammation. Its exfoliating features also help to reduce blackheads.
One of the main concerns amongst many people who seek cosmetic advice is, undoubtedly, acne. This is an issue that may often become a source of anxiety, impact one's self-image and self-esteem, and, thus, negatively affect one's daily life. The main focus of most acne treatment protocols is not so much tackling existing lesions but, instead, preventing the occurrence of future eruptions / breakouts. As the key aim of these treatments is prevention, it normally takes time (8 weeks at least) for their efficacy to become visible.
Elderberry oil (Sambucus Nigra Oil) is suitable for acne and allergy-prone skin as well as dry skin. It is regarded by many specialists as a valuable cosmetic oil, mainly due to its regenerative, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties – fostered by the high concentration of fatty acids and phytosterols. This makes Sambucus Nigra Oil particularly suitable for irritated, inflamed, acne-prone and / or allergy-prone skin.
