Betaine salicylate is a salt formed from betaine and salicylic acid. It functions as a milder BHA exfoliant compared to free salicylic acid, as the betaine portion provides hydrating and soothing benefits that counteract some of the drying effects. It is oil-soluble and penetrates pores to dissolve congestion while being gentler on the skin barrier.
