With 2% Salicylic Acid and Rosemary essential oil this purifying lotion not only helps to fight acne but can also regulate the skin’s production of sebum. The result is clear skin that is smooth to the touch and radiant in appearance.

Salicylic acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid and is unique amongst the Hydroxy Acids in that it can penetrate deeper into the oil glands helping exfoliation even in the oily areas of the face. For this reason it has been used for years by dermatologists (skin specialists) to help treat comedonal acne in people who have very oily skins. It has been found that Salicylic Acid, is more effective, in small concentrations that Glycolic Acid for oily skin types.

How is this good for spots?
The most common form of acne is caused as hair follicles get clogged by the sebum (oil) your skin naturally produces. Normally the sebum travels up the hair follicle and out to the surface of the skin. However, with acne, sebum is trapped within the follicle and the skin, causing bacteria to multiply within the clogged pores. By removing the pore blocking dead skin cells and some of the excess oil pores become clearer and blemishes are less likely to form.

Salicylic Acid has been known to help the following conditions:
1. Acne
2. Barbers rash
3. Scars
4. Stretch marks
5. Blackheads
6. Dry skin
7. Sun damaged skin
8. Blotchy pigmentation (chloasma)
9. Fine wrinkles
10. Over production of sebum (oily skin)
11. Open Pores
12. Milia

Skincare Tips
Acne lotion should be applied over clean skin at night on blemishes and infected areas only.
When using any product containing AHA/BHA you must use a moisturiser with a SPF of at least 15 during the day, if you plan on sunbathing or visiting a hot climate use a minimum factor 25.

DO NOT USE If you're pregnant/breastfeeding, under the age of 17, if you are undergoing any kind of intense beauty treatment (microdermabrasion, glycolic acid (at a salon) treatment, Retin-a, laser therapy etc) or if you're on medication which increases the skins sensitivity such as roaccutane.

If this is your first purchase of this item you may wish to purchase a serum pump top as it makes dispensing of the product much easier, this product can be dispensed without a pump though so this is not an essential item that needs to be purchased. We no longer supply pump tops as standard as the pumps are reusable which is better for the environment.
