The Science of Acne-Fighting
The star of this serum is Salicylic Acid, a lipid-soluble BHA that can penetrate into the pore lining, making it especially effective against acne. It works by:
- Dissolving the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together, unclogging pores
- Reducing sebum production to control oiliness and prevent future clogs
- Decreasing inflammation to soothe angry, red breakouts
- Gently exfoliating surface cells for smoother, clearer skin over time
- Helping to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scars)
INGREDIENTS

FAQS
x- Q: Can I Use This Serum If I Have Sensitive Skin??
- A: If you have dry or sensitive skin, start with once-daily or every-other-day use, and always monitor your skin's response. Salicylic acid can be drying, so make sure to use a noncomedogenic moisturizer and go slowly.
- Q: Can I Use This with Other Acne Treatments like Benzoyl Peroxide?
- A: We recommend using one targeted acne treatment at a time to avoid over-drying or irritating your skin. If you do want to combine treatments, alternate them (use one in the AM, one in the PM) and monitor your skin closely.
- Q: Is It Normal to Experience a "Purge" When Starting This Serum?
- A: Some people may experience a temporary increase in breakouts, known as "purging", when first starting salicylic acid. This is a normal sign that the product is working to clear out clogged pores, and usually subsides within 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
- Q: How Long Does It Take to See Results?
- A: Many users see a reduction in oiliness and active breakouts within the first 1-2 weeks of use. For full clearing and reduction of scarring, 8-12 weeks of consistent use is recommended.
- Q: Can I Use This Serum If I'm Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
- A: While salicylic acid is generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy when used as directed, we always recommend consulting with your doctor before starting any new acne treatments.
- Q: Will This Serum Make My Skin More Sensitive To The Sun?
- A: Yes, salicylic acid (like all exfoliating acids) can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day when using this product.
