This premium, easy-to-use powder eliminates the need for harsh solvents, allowing you to create high-performance, gentle, and effective acne-fighting products without struggling with stability issues. Active Release™ Salicylic Acid Powder is specially formulated to be directly water-soluble, allowing you to effortlessly incorporate this potent acne-fighting, skin-refining ingredient into your clear gels, toners, serums, and lotions.

This innovative formula acts as a high-efficiency keratolytic agent (exfoliant) that gently yet deeply cleanses pores, regulates sebum, and accelerates skin cell turnover.

Key Benefits

  • True Water Solubility: Dissolves directly into the water phase of your formulations—no alcohol or propylene glycol required.

  • Deep Pore Cleansing: Penetrates deep into the pore lining to dissolve oil, dead skin cells, and impurities.

  • Targeted Acne & Blackhead Care: Effectively treats and prevents blackheads, whiteheads, and acne breakouts.

  • Reduced Irritation: Designed for higher tolerability, making it gentler on the skin compared to standard salicylic acid.

  • Soothing Action: Reduces redness and inflammation associated with acne.

  • Gentle Exfoliation: Effectively removes the outer dead skin layer for a smoother, more radiant texture without harsh physical scrubbing.

  • Skin Smoothing & Brightening: Encourages skin renewal for a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion.

Why Choose Activated Release?

  • 100% Water Soluble: Unlike standard salicylic acid, this advanced formula dissolves directly into your water phase. No more tricky, messy, or heat-intensive dissolution process.

  • Time-Released Efficiency: Encapsulated in a natural matrix, it releases salicylic acid slowly into the skin, maximizing pore-cleansing power while significantly reducing irritation (up to 42% lower irritation rate compared to standard BHA).

  • Maximum Pore Penetration: As a BHA, it deeply penetrates the lipid layers within the pores to dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, reducing acne, blackheads, and congestion.
