The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is designed to treat acne and allow skin to heal. This body acne treatment helps to give clearer, smoother-looking skin. The formula offers surface-level exfoliation through the inclusion of 0.5% salicylic acid, which helps to encourage the natural shedding of dead skin. Salicylic acid benefits for skin include its lipophilic nature, which means it can penetrate pores to control acne blemishes, while also improving the appearance of redness associated with acne.

Tested specifically for use on the body, this salicylic acid body serum has a nozzle applicator that allows for precise dispensation of the formula to target specific areas of acne.

​​​​Testing shows:
Acne-prone skin solution: Helps address acne at three key stages - before, during, and after.
Pre-acne support: Helps prevent body acne, and penetrates pores to control acne blemishes.
Acne treatment: Reduces the number of acne blemishes.
Post-acne support: Allows skin to heal, and promotes a more even-looking skin tone.
Smooths skin texture: Exfoliates acne-prone skin for smoother-looking texture.

The product is good, no reaction.

Texture is very runny and difficult to apply without dripping or messing. Cang account for the long term claims yet as I haven't used it enough yet.

★★★★★

Works well to calm down redness from active acne/ red spots. Great product!
