Key Actives

SALICYLIC ACID 2%

An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that works within the pores to help remove excess sebum, dead skin and impurities. It helps reduce congestion, blocked pores and the visible appearance of blemishes.

CENTELLA ASIATICA 3%

A plant-derived skin-conditioning ingredient known for its soothing properties. It helps support a calmer, more balanced-feeling complexion alongside the serum's exfoliating active.

GLYCERIN

A moisture-binding humectant that helps attract water to the skin, supporting hydration and reducing feelings of dryness or tightness.

How to use

Apply a small amount to clean, completely dry skin once daily, preferably in the evening. Smooth 2–3 drops over the face, concentrating on areas prone to congestion and blemishes. Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Allow the serum to absorb before following with moisturiser.

If you are new to Salicylic Acid, begin 2–3 evenings per week before gradually increasing use as tolerated.

FAQ

What skin concerns does this serum target?

It is primarily designed for visible blemishes, blocked pores, blackheads, excess oil and uneven-looking texture.

What does 2% Salicylic Acid do?

Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid that can penetrate into oily pores, helping loosen dead skin and excess sebum that contribute to congestion.

What does Centella Asiatica do?

Centella Asiatica helps condition and soothe the skin, making it a useful supporting ingredient alongside exfoliating Salicylic Acid.

Is this an exfoliating serum?

Yes. The formula contains 2% Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates both the skin's surface and within congested pores.

Can it help with blackheads?

Yes. Salicylic Acid helps reduce the build-up of oil and dead skin inside the pores, which can improve the visible appearance of blackheads and congestion with consistent use.

Can it help with blemishes?

The serum is formulated to help reduce congestion and improve the visible appearance of blemish-prone skin. It is a cosmetic skincare product rather than a medical treatment for acne.

Can I use it every day?

Yes, if your skin tolerates 2% Salicylic Acid comfortably. New users should begin 2–3 evenings per week and gradually increase use.

Should I use it morning or evening?

Evening use is recommended. Apply after cleansing and before moisturiser.

Can I use it as a spot treatment?

Yes. It can be applied sparingly to areas that are particularly congested or prone to blemishes. Avoid broken or irritated skin.

Can I use it with Niacinamide?

Yes. Niacinamide can generally be used alongside Salicylic Acid and may provide useful barrier and oil-balancing support.

Can I use it with Hyaluronic Acid?

Yes. Hyaluronic Acid pairs well with Salicylic Acid because it provides additional hydration without introducing another exfoliating active.

Can I use it with Retinol?

Using Retinol and 2% Salicylic Acid in the same evening may increase dryness or irritation. A simpler approach is to alternate them on different nights.

Can I use it with Glycolic Acid?

Both are exfoliating acids, so combining them may be too intensive for some skin types. Alternate their use if you experience dryness or sensitivity.

Can I use it with Vitamin C?

Yes, but sensitive skin may prefer Vitamin C in the morning and Salicylic Acid in the evening rather than layering several active products together.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

We would not position this as universally suitable for sensitive skin. The formula contains 2% Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Denat. as its first listed ingredient, added fragrance and Limonene. Sensitive or reactive skin should patch test first and introduce it gradually.

Is it fragrance-free?

No. The ingredients contain Limonene.

Does it contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol Denat.

Does it treat acne?

This is a cosmetic serum designed to improve the visible appearance of blemishes and congestion. It should not be marketed as treating or curing acne. Persistent, painful or severe acne should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
