The outside layer of your skin is covered in oil and being oil soluble the Salicylic acid is able to penetrate this outer layer.
Salicylic/20 peel breaks down the protein bonds between the layers of skin which is why a much quicker peel can be achieved.
For acne the Salicylic acid has several properties that make it a very effective treatment for acne.
Salicylic/20 peel acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps to immediately reduce acne spots
Salicylic/20 peel is effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores.

No Detriments To This Eye GelI first heard of this eb5 eye cream in a small advertiement in our local newspaper's weekly "Health" section; I was looking for a good nighttime under-eye cream (had previously used my facial moisturizer for same) saw that this one was created by a Dermatologist & claimed many faithful users so I went to the eb5 website & purchased a container. I like it MUCH better than any under-eye moisurizer I've tried since. I guess because it is in GEL FORM rather than a cream it glides/spreads easily under the eyes not requiring the rubbing that a cream does & thus the pulling/stretching of the skin in this delicate area & that's important. It isn't thick or greasy at all absorbing quickly while still relieving any "tightness" I may have been feeling around my eyes. Also I must be VERY careful about the products I use around my eyes - eye creams eye make-up eye make-up remover - to avoid swelling and/or a "film" over my eye itself blurring my vision etc. Lastly the container looks quite small but probably also because of the gel formulation & its "spreadability" you need use so little each application that one container is very long-lasting. I will stick w/ this eb5 under-eye moisurizing product.
