Acne-prone and oily skin, clogged pores/blackheads and whiteheads, mild acne breakouts, excess sebum control, rough/uneven skin texture

Salicylic acid (BHA) is oil-soluble and penetrates into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells, helping unclog pores and reduce acne lesions. LHA (a salicylic acid derivative) provides gentle, targeted exfoliation and supports smoother texture with potentially less irritation.

For external use only. Wet face, take a small amount, gently massage over face for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Use once daily to start; if well tolerated, can be used up to twice daily. Follow with moisturizer and apply sunscreen in daytime.

Dryness, skin peeling/flaking, mild burning or stinging, redness, irritation, tightness, increased sun sensitivity

Patch test before first use. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and broken/irritated skin. Do not use alongside other strong exfoliants/peels or multiple acne actives if irritation occurs. Discontinue and consult a doctor if severe irritation, swelling or allergic reaction happens. Use sunscreen as exfoliating acids can increase photosensitivity. If you have aspirin/salicylate allergy, use with caution.

May increase irritation when used with other exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs/LHAs), retinoids (tretinoin/adapalene), benzoyl peroxide, alcohol-based toners/astringents, physical scrubs, post-waxing/laser/peel procedures

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.
