Biochemical Mechanism & Pharmacology
Hyaluronic Acid & Multi-Weight Polyols provides vital physiological lipids and humectants that reinforce the stratum corneum lipid matrix, preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and buffering against irritation from Salicylic Acid (BHA) without attenuating its therapeutic cellular benefits.
Apply the lower viscosity product first, or buffer by applying Hyaluronic Acid & Multi-Weight Polyols prior to Salicylic Acid (BHA) for sensitive skin (the sandwich method).
