Face Serum by GraceYes — Natural Salicylic Acid Serum for Acne & Pores, 30 ml

Description

Acne-prone skin gets punished by most of what is sold to fix it. This 30 ml bottle takes a softer route: white willow bark supplies salicin, nature's original source of salicylic acid, which works inside the pore rather than only on the surface, and bakuchi oil adds retinol-like renewal alongside it. As a natural salicylic acid serum it suits blackheads, congestion and recurring breakouts, including on skin that is both oily and easily irritated.

Turmeric and cinnamon flower waters form the base, so the serum goes on fluid and settles quickly, with lavender and rosemary keeping the scent herbal rather than perfumed. Crucially there is no denatured alcohol here, the ingredient that dries acne-prone skin and sets off rebound oiliness. No silicones sealing pores either.

Can you use a salicylic acid serum every day? Start with two or three nights a week and build up to nightly as your skin adjusts. Always follow with a light moisturiser, and wear sunscreen the next morning, because exfoliating serums and bakuchi oil make skin more sun-sensitive. Keep vitamin C for the morning and use this at night.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a salicylic acid serum good for acne-prone skin?

Yes, that is who we make this one for. White willow bark supplies salicin, the natural source of salicylic acid, which works inside the pore, and there is no denatured alcohol or silicone; see a dermatologist for painful or persistent acne.

Can I use a salicylic acid serum every day?

Start with two or three nights a week and build to nightly as your skin adjusts. Follow with a light moisturiser and wear sunscreen the next morning, because exfoliating serums and bakuchi oil make skin more sun-sensitive.

Can a face serum cause pimples?

Any new product can disagree with some skin, and exfoliating serums can feel strong at first. Start slowly, stop if you notice irritation or new breakouts, and ask a dermatologist if they continue.

Can I use this serum with vitamin C or other actives?

Use vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night. It already combines a BHA with bakuchi oil, so avoid layering more exfoliants or retinoids on the same night.

Is this serum good for dry skin?

It is made for oily, congested skin. Dry skin can use it on congested areas a few nights a week, always followed by moisturiser.

CautionFor external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs. Patch test before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
