FORMULARY: 2% Salicylic Acid Cream
This cream is a beta-hydroxy acid cream, great
for cell turnover or renewal of skin. It moisturizes while
it exfoliates the skin. The salicylic acid in this formula is
at 2% but it could be decreased to 1% for milder exfoliation
(adjustment to neutralizer may be required).
