Rapid Salicylic Acid 2% Face Serum 30ML

Salicylic Acid Face Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing exfoliating serum formulated to help treat and prevent acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.
It uses salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid – BHA) as the active ingredient, which penetrates deep into pores to remove excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities.

This serum is ideal for oily, acne-prone, or combination skin types, and helps to achieve clearer, smoother, and more refined skin over time.

Key Ingredient: Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Property
Exfoliant    Gently removes dead skin cells from the surface and inside pores.
Oil-Soluble    Penetrates through sebum (oil) into clogged pores — unlike water-based acids (like glycolic acid).
Anti-inflammatory    Reduces redness and swelling around pimples.
Antibacterial    Helps minimize acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
Keratolytic    Softens and loosens buildup inside pores to prevent breakouts.

Most facial serums contain 0.5%–2% salicylic acid, which is effective yet gentle for daily or alternate-day use.

How to Use Salicylic Acid Face Serum
Step    Instructions
1. Cleanse    Wash your face with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser. Pat dry.
2. Patch Test (first time)    Apply a small amount to jawline or behind ear for 24 hours to test for sensitivity.
3. Apply Serum    Take 2–3 drops and spread evenly on face (focusing on acne-prone or oily areas). Avoid eyes, lips, and open wounds.
4. Let It Absorb    Wait about 1–2 minutes before applying moisturizer.
5. Moisturize    Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain hydration.
6. Use Sunscreen    During the day, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen — salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity.
7. Frequency    Start with 2–3 times per week. If well-tolerated, increase to once daily or as advised by a dermatologist.

Precautions & Tips

Avoid overuse — using too often can cause dryness, irritation, or peeling.

Do not mix immediately with strong actives like retinol, AHAs (glycolic/lactic acid), or high-percentage niacinamide without professional guidance.

Moisturize regularly to balance exfoliation and hydration.

Avoid harsh scrubs or alcohol-based toners while using BHA serum.

If skin becomes too dry or irritated, reduce frequency or stop temporarily.

Always use sun protection — BHAs increase UV sensitivity.

Not recommended for people allergic to aspirin (salicylic acid is related to acetylsalicylic acid).

When to Expect Results
Timeframe    What You Might Notice
1–2 weeks    Reduced oiliness, smoother texture, slight reduction in blackheads.
3–4 weeks    Fewer new breakouts, existing pimples heal faster.
6–8 weeks    Noticeably clearer skin, refined pores, more even tone.
Ongoing    Maintains clarity and prevents recurrence of acne when used consistently. 

 Tips for Best Results

Pair with niacinamide serum (alternate days) to reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.

Use hydrating toner or essence before applying the serum if your skin feels dry.

For acne-prone areas like the T-zone, apply slightly more product, but keep layers thin.

Keep product in a cool, dark place — sunlight degrades salicylic acid.
