Question
Does the comedolytic property of Salicylic Acid remain effective at a pH of 5.5 - 6?
Answer
Based on previous information, the comedolytic (dissolving clogged pores) property of Salicylic Acid is considered pH independent. Therefore, a pH of 5.5 - 6 should not significantly affect its ability to dissolve clogged pores. However, it is generally advised to avoid extremely low or high pH values in formulations as they might have other effects on the skin.
