"This serum is an excellent choice if you are struggling with non-inflamed acne or acne rosacea. My clients see a noticeable improvement in redness, inflammation, and overall clarity. It's especially beneficial when 5% or 8% L-Mandelic Serums aren't tolerated or can work beautifully when alternated with mandelic serums for oily or combination skin types. "

Ideal for Blackheads, Whiteheads, and Texture

This serum is perfect for those with non-inflamed acne, rough texture, or oily skin. By breaking down excess oil and dead skin cells, it helps reduce blackheads and prevent future breakouts while evening out tone.

Salicylic Acid

BHA that penetrates into pores to clear out debris, making it one of the most effective ingredients for treating acne and congestion.

Lactic Acid

AHA that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface while also providing hydration, making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.

Azelic Acid

Multifunctional acid known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and skin-brightening effects on acne and pigmentation.

Gentle Yet Effective Daily Exfoliation

Thanks to hydrating and calming ingredients like mushroom extract and sodium hyaluronate, this formula delivers powerful exfoliation without over-drying. It’s strong enough to make a difference, but gentle enough to use regularly.

The Power of Three Acids

This serum combines salicylic acid to clear pores, lactic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate, and azelaic acid to calm inflammation and brighten pigmentation. Together, they target acne, congestion, and uneven tone more effectively than a single acid alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Salicylic+ Serum do?

It exfoliates inside the pores to break down buildup of oil and dead skin, helping to prevent and reduce non-inflamed acne like blackheads and whiteheads. It also smooths texture and improves clarity.

Who should use it?

This serum is best for oily or combination skin that deals with congestion or mild breakouts. It’s especially helpful for those who don’t respond well to benzoyl peroxide or need extra exfoliation support.

How often should I apply it?

Start by using it once every other night, then increase to nightly use if your skin tolerates it well. Always follow with a moisturizer, and use SPF during the day to protect your skin.

Can I use this with Acne Med or Mandelic Serum?

It’s best to avoid layering multiple exfoliants. Alternate nights if you’re using other active treatments to avoid dryness or irritation. Hydrating products help support your skin while using exfoliants.

Will it dry out or irritate my skin?

Salicylic+ Serum includes soothing and hydrating ingredients to reduce the risk of dryness, but overuse can still cause irritation. Ease into it slowly, and listen to how your skin responds.
