FAQ's
What does 0.5% salicylic acid do?
It works as a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to penetrate pores, dissolve oil and debris, and gently exfoliate, helping to reduce blackheads and breakouts.
Is this suitable for daily use?
Yes. The 0.5% concentration is mild enough for twice-daily use, provided your skin tolerates it.
Will it dry out my skin?
No. The formula is designed to cleanse effectively without over-drying, helping maintain skin balance.
Expert Advice
- Start slow if new to acids: Use once daily initially, then build up to morning and evening use.
- Follow with SPF: Salicylic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
- Hydration is key: Pair with a lightweight moisturiser to maintain skin barrier health.
- Best for oily or blemish-prone skin: Ideal for blackheads, whiteheads, and congested pores.
- Consistency matters: Visible improvements typically appear after a few weeks of regular use.
