Salicylic Serum
Face Reality Salicylic Serum is a leave-on exfoliating treatment designed to clear congestion at the source. Formulated with 2% salicylic acid, this serum penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, dead skin cells, and buildup that lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and uneven texture.
Unlike harsh spot treatments, Salicylic works gradually and intelligently making it ideal for clients who struggle with non-inflamed acne, clogged pores, and persistent texture while still needing barrier support.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid (2%)
A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into the pore lining to dissolve oil and debris, making it one of the most effective ingredients for congestion, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Lactic Acid
A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin’s surface while supporting hydration—helping smooth texture without excessive dryness.
Azelaic Acid
A multifunctional acid that helps calm inflammation, regulate bacteria, and brighten post-acne marks while supporting overall skin clarity.
Sodium Hyaluronate & Mushroom Extract
Hydrating and soothing ingredients that help counterbalance exfoliation and support the skin barrier.
