Description

If breakouts, blackheads, or oily skin are frustrating you, this serum is made for you.

This lightweight BHA serum works deep inside your pores to dissolve excess oil and impurities that cause congestion, helping keep skin clear and balanced without harshness.

With regular use, skin looks clearer, feels smoother, and stays calmer.

How it helps

• Clears clogged pores
• Reduces breakouts & blemishes
• Controls excess oil & shine
• Calms redness & inflammation
• Smooths skin texture

Why it works

Formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) derived from willow bark to exfoliate inside pores and remove built-up debris.

Soothing botanical extracts help calm irritation and reduce redness, making it effective yet gentle.

Clearer, smoother, more balanced skin, without harshness.

A: BHA stands for beta hydroxy acid. Salicylic acid is a BHA that dives into pores and clears out dead skin, oil, and dirt.

Q: How's Salicylic acid/BHA a skin hero?
A: Salicylic Acid is like a gentle skin superhero. It exfoliates, reveals fresh skin, and fights pore blockages. Perfect for bumpy or acne-prone skin.
