Details & care

What it is: A water-based serum with salicylic acid 2% concentration that offers surface-level exfoliation, encouraging the natural shedding of dead skin.

Who it's for: Ideal for acne-prone skin types.

What it does: Made with salicylic acid 2% concentration, this water-based serum offers surface-level exfoliation, encouraging the natural shedding of dead skin. It’s also lipophilic (oil-soluble), which means it can penetrate pores to control acne blemishes. The formula’s multifunctional approach helps clear up pores, improve the appearance of visible redness and comedones. This approach treats acne, allows skin to heal and results in clearer, smoother-looking skin.

How to use: Clean the skin thoroughly before applying the solution. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occur, reduce application to once a day or every other day. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Patch testing prior to use is advised: Apply the product as directed to a small area once a day for three days to test if you are sensitive to this product. If you develop irritation, hives, swelling of the eyes and mouth, blistering or difficulty breathing, rinse off, cease use and consult a doctor right away. When using this product, skin irritation and dryness is more likely to occur if you use another topical acne medication at the same time. If irritation occurs, only use one topical acne medication at a time. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
