Kerastase‘s Specifique range from Kerastase is designed to combat dandruff and treat scalp oiliness with its star ingredient pyrithione zinc, while salicylic acid addresses flakiness issues.

With its easy application process and salon finish finish, this shampoo leaves your locks with an impeccable look.

What is Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid is a type of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) found both naturally in willow bark and other plants as well as synthetically produced in labs. Because it’s oil-soluble, salicylic acid can penetrate pores to dissolve thickened oil deposits that lead to blackheads.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate skin by clearing away dead cells and decreasing oil secretion, making it an effective acne fighter, particularly against blackheads and whiteheads that clog up pores. Salicylic acid works to “disrupt new blemishes by dissolving excess sebum that leads to breakouts,” according to dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz.

However, it is important to remember that salicylic acid may irritate sensitive scalps and should only be used as directed. Please read and consult your physician prior to using, particularly if there are known allergies or medical conditions present. Pregnant and nursing mothers are advised against taking this ingredient as it could potentially absorb through their skin during gestation and lactation.
