What it is

How to use

• AM – Cleanse, apply 2–3 drops of serum to oily or breakout-prone areas, allow to absorb, follow with a light moisturiser and a broad-spectrum SPF for daytime protection.
• PM – Cleanse, apply 2–3 drops across the face or to specific spots, then follow with your usual night moisturiser.
• Start with once daily if you have sensitive skin, then increase to morning and evening as tolerated. Avoid using this product at the same time as other strong exfoliating treatments without professional advice.

Why it works

• Salicylic acid – A beta-hydroxy ingredient that helps loosen and remove debris from pores to improve texture and reduce the likelihood of new blemishes.
• Tea tree oil – A botanical ingredient used to help calm the skin and support a clearer-looking complexion.
• Niacinamide – A multi-purpose ingredient that supports the skin’s barrier and can help even skin tone and reduce the look of redness over time.

What to expect

• Most users notice improved clarity and less shine within a few weeks when used consistently.
• Mild tingling or slight dryness can occur during initial adjustment; these effects often settle as the skin adapts.
• If persistent irritation, severe redness or swelling occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• Avoid if you have a known sensitivity to salicylates or tea tree oil.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before introducing active exfoliants.
