Description

This advanced 2% Salicylic Acid serum is formulated to deeply penetrate pores, dissolve excess oil, and target acne at its source. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, it gently exfoliates from within to unclog pores, reduce shine, and promote a noticeably clearer, smoother, and more refined complexion.

Formulation Overview / Update

The serum combines Salicylic Acid at the dermatologist-recommended 2% strength with a blend of brightening, hydrating, and barrier-supporting actives. While BHA clears pores and reduces buildup, complementary ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and alpha-arbutin help soothe, brighten, and maintain moisture balance—making the formula effective yet comfortable for daily use.

Ingredients Breakdown (What They Do)

• Salicylic Acid 2% — BHA that exfoliates inside pores, clears congestion, and reduces acne.
• Ascorbyl Glucoside — Stable Vitamin C derivative that brightens and supports even tone.
• Niacinamide — Minimizes pores, reduces oiliness, improves texture, and strengthens barrier.
• Sodium Hyaluronate — Hydrates deeply to prevent dryness or irritation.
• Alpha Arbutin — Helps fade dark spots and post-acne marks.
• Sodium PCA — A natural moisturizing factor that maintains hydration balance.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — Soothes skin and supports repair.
• Phenoxyethanol & Disodium EDTA — Preserve and stabilize the formula.

Key Benefits

• Unclogs and refines congested pores for visibly clearer skin.
• Reduces excess oil and regulates shine throughout the day.

How to Use

1. Apply to clean, completely dry skin at night.
2. Use a few drops and massage gently in upward, circular motions until absorbed.
3. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer if needed.
4. For daytime, always pair with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.
5. Start 2–3 times a week and build to nightly use based on skin tolerance.

FAQs

Q: Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?
A: It contains hydrating and soothing ingredients, but because it’s an active BHA, sensitive users should patch test first and start with low frequency.

Q: Can I use it with retinol or exfoliating toners?
A: Avoid combining with other strong actives in the same routine to prevent irritation. Alternate on different nights if needed.

Q: Will it help with dark spots and acne marks?
A: Yes. The combination of Salicylic Acid, Vitamin C derivative, Alpha Arbutin, and Niacinamide supports brightening and fading post-acne hyperpigmentation.

Q: Can it be used during the day?
