Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) is a gentle, slow-penetrating exfoliant that clears pores, smooths texture, reduces blackheads, and treats acne with minimal irritation. Ideal for sensitive, oily, textured, and acne-prone skin, LHA delivers BHA-like results without the harshness — making it one of the best modern exfoliants for balanced, clearer, healthier-looking skin.
