Did you know that salicylic acid can actually be obtained from plants? Most salicylic acid in our skincare products is created by chemical synthesis in a lab, however the natural form can be just as effective for those with acne-prone skin.
Whether you’re a natural beauty buff or just trying to take a more holistic approach to treating your breakouts, here are some great skincare products that contain natural salicylic acid.

Natural is best
Natural is good. I'd like to try the Burt's Bees one.
Yes I like the look of that too
I don’t believe I use enough salicylic acid in my skincare products. I have used the Sukin product a couple of years ago which I did enjoy.
I remember buying witch hazel when I was young for a toner -I had forgotten how good it was
