111MedCo 2% Salicylic Acid Medicated Soap Bar is a gentle exfoliating bar formulated with maximum OTC strength salicylic acid for the treatment of acne and congested skin. Manufactured in an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility in the USA.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily and preventing the build-up inside pores that leads to blackheads, whiteheads and acne. Unlike benzoyl peroxide which targets bacteria, salicylic acid works primarily by keeping pores clear -- making it a useful option for comedonal acne or as a complement to other treatments.

The formula uses no harsh abrasives, relying solely on the chemical exfoliation properties of salicylic acid for a gentler approach to pore clearing.
