Q. Can I use the 2% Salicylic Serum if I have normal skin? How will it be beneficial?
A. Yes. You can use our 2% Salicylic+Cica Serum for normal skin as well. Even though the serum has been curated to treat acne, excess oil & skin inflammation, for normal skin like yours, it will only further refine your skin texture & make it healthier.
Q. How does 2% Salicylic treat active acne?
A. Salicylic acid is a well-known BHA that helps exfoliate dead skin cells, unclogs pores of dirt & oil & eventually works to reduce active acne along with associated skin concerns. Our 2% Salicylic Face Serum has been designed to penetrate skin deep to provide gentle exfoliation action. It will unclog pores of excess oil & minimise the pores to treat active acne & redness.
Q. Is 10% Salicylic+Cica serum suitable for sensitive skin?
A. We do not recommend this serum for sensitive skin as infused with the exfoliating property. You can try our 10% Niacinamide+Cica Face serum which as it soothes irritation, redness & skin inflammation, making it great for sensitive skin as well.

A. No! Any type of BHA & Vitamin C does not work well together. In fact, when used together, it causes severe breakout leading to redness, irritation & inflammation.
Q. Can Salicylic cause sensitivity, redness or irritation?

Q. Is 2% Salicylic too strong?
A. While 2% Salicylic is potent, it is a concentration that's safe to use every day. However, it may react differently on different skin types. Therefore, we recommend patch testing first, and incorporating it slowly into your routine, watching how your skin responds.
Q. Can I use this serum around the eyes?
A. No! We recommend leaving the eye area and using the serum on your face & neck.
