Description: The Derma 2% Salicylic Acid Serum is a potent exfoliating treatment designed to combat acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. Formulated with 2% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), this serum penetrates deep into the pores, dissolving excess oil and dead skin cells. This action helps to prevent future breakouts while reducing inflammation and redness associated with acne. The lightweight, non-greasy formula is suitable for all skin types, particularly oily and acne-prone skin.

Benefits:

• Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
• Acne Treatment: Reduces blackheads, whiteheads, and active acne.
• Anti-inflammatory: Soothes inflamed skin and reduces redness.
• Oil Control: Balances sebum production, preventing excess oiliness.
• Improved Skin Texture: Promotes smoother, clearer skin over time.

How to Use:

1. Cleansing: Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities from your face.
2. Application: After cleansing, apply a few drops of the serum to your face, avoiding the eye area. You can use your fingertips or a cotton pad for application.
3. Absorption: Allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin. This typically takes a few minutes.
4. Moisturizing: Follow up with a suitable moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
5. Sun Protection: In the morning, apply sunscreen as the final step in your routine to protect your skin from UV damage, as salicylic acid can increase sun sensitivity.

Usage Frequency:

• Beginners: Start using the serum 2-3 times a week to allow your skin to adjust.
• Regular Use: Gradually increase to daily use as tolerated.

Precautions:

• Perform a patch test before first use to check for any allergic reactions.
• Avoid using other exfoliating or strong active ingredients (like retinoids or other BHAs/AHAs) on the same day to prevent over-exfoliation.
• Discontinue use if irritation or severe dryness occurs and consult a dermatologist.
• Always apply sunscreen during the day when using products containing salicylic acid.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively incorporate The Derma 2% Salicylic Acid Serum into your skincare routine for clearer, healthier skin.
