- What does salicylic acid do to your skin?
Salicylic acid is an exfoliant that sheds off dead skin cells by penetrating deep into the pore lining and inhibiting sebum production. It refines pores by solubilizing with oil/keratin present in the pores and giving a clean, bright, and blemish-free skin. Research also shows that SA has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that help to reduce and prevent mild acne.
- Can salicylic acid serum cause purging or breakouts?
Any active ingredient that promotes cell turnover can cause purging in certain people, especially with sensitive or acne-prone skin. It is an entirely natural and normal response to active ingredients. Salicylic acid along with candida bombicola/ glucose/methyl/rapeseedate ferment pushes trapped sebum and oil to the surface, and thus those acnes which were supposed to appear later pop up early. The natural cell shedding cycle in healthy young women is 28 days. So, purging usually subsides in 3-4 weeks.
It is important to stick with a product during the purging phase. You cannot avoid purging, but there are things you can do to ease it out. The first and most important thing is to take it slow. If you are new to acids, apply 2-3 times a week, and gradually increase your frequency.
- Can this serum be used by both men and women?
YES, This serum is suitable for both men and women.
- What is the recommended age of using the salicylic acid serum?
Scientifically, it is safe for a younger age, but to avoid overconsumption and any undesirable effects, we recommend it for teens and adults (Above 15 years). People below 15 years should consult their doctor before including this into their routine.
Since more research is needed on the impact of topical SA on features or babies, pregnant and breastfeeding, women should consult their doctor before including SA into their routine. People with specific skin conditions or health issues shall also consult their doctor before using any direct acid.

Good product. This serum has been a lifesaver! I’ve been using it for over a month now. My skin is more moisturised and glowing. The texture is more refined and the blemishes have faded away.
