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).
