Core Benefits
Acne Treatment and Prevention: Effectively reduces the look of active blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads by dissolving the oil and debris that clog pores.
Smoother Skin Texture: Regular use helps resolve textural irregularities, resulting in a clearer and more even complexion over time.
Refines Pore Appearance: By decongesting the pore walls, it visibly minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores.
Reduces Redness: Helps calm the visible inflammation and redness associated with active breakouts.
Multi-use Application: While designed for the face, it can also be used on the body for concerns like "chicken skin" (Keratosis Pilaris).
Steps to Use
For best results, incorporate this serum into your evening routine to allow it to work during the skin's natural repair process.
Prep: Cleanse the skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser and pat it completely dry. Do not use on wet skin.
Target or All-Over: Apply a small dot directly to specific blemishes for targeted treatment, or apply a small amount (2–3 drops) evenly over the face for general clarity.
Absorb: Allow the serum to dry and absorb fully for a few minutes before applying other products.
Seal: Follow with a basic moisturizer, such as The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, to maintain hydration.
Protect: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) the next morning, as exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity.
Usage Tips & Precautions
Frequency: Start with 2–3 applications per week to build tolerance. Gradually increase to once daily if your skin responds well without excessive dryness.
Patch Test: It is highly recommended to patch test on a small area of the forearm for three days before full-face use.
Conflicts: Do not use in the same routine as other strong acids (AHAs/BHAs), retinoids, or peptides.
Safety: Avoid the delicate eye area and do not use on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.
