Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Salicylic Acid (BHA) remains the most effective OTC solution for acne and congested pores, leveraging its oil solubility to penetrate and dissolve sebum plugs deep within follicles. This beta-hydroxy acid from willow bark excels with 0.5-2% concentrations, proven to reduce comedones by 35% in a 2022 controlled trial. Found in classics like Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant and CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash, it reduces inflammation by 20% after four weeks.
