The Triple-Acid Clarifier to Clear Congestion, Fade Dark Spots, and Calm Redness

Take control of stubborn under-the-skin bumps and uneven skin tone with Face Reality Salicylic+ Serum. This advanced, leave-on exfoliating treatment is formulated around three complementary acids to tackle acne, blackheads, and post-breakout discoloration all in a single step. Specifically engineered to remain 100% acne-safe, this lightweight formula targets deep follicular debris without stripping your skin's essential moisture—making it an exceptional alternative to mandelic acid for oily, combination, or highly sensitive skin types struggling with persistent congestion. 

Why You’ll Love It

Clears Congested Pores at the Source: Formulated with oil-soluble Salicylic Acid (BHA), which dives deep inside the pore lining to dissolve the sticky mix of sebum and dead cells that causes blackheads and whiteheads. 

Erases Post-Acne Marks & Hyperpigmentation: Features a bioavailable derivative of Azelaic Acid that suppresses excess melanin production, allowing you to rapidly fade stubborn dark spots and acne scars. 

The Perfect Match for Acne Rosacea: The combination of Azelaic and Salicylic acid provides heavy-duty anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial defense, helping to smooth out the tiny, fluid-filled bumps and flushing common in rosacea skin types. 

Exfoliates Without Over-Drying: Contains L-Lactic Acid, an AHA that gently smooths surface texture while serving as a natural humectant to keep the skin hydrated, soft, and balanced. 

How It Feels

Texture: A smooth, featherlight, water-based gel serum. 

Absorption: Sinks into the skin completely within seconds, creating a clean, completely weightless layer.

Skin Feel: Instantly refines and balances the complexion. It manages excess daytime shine and leaves the skin feeling smooth and fresh—free of the heavy, sticky, or tight residue associated with traditional acne treatments. 

Key Ingredients

2% Salicylic Acid: An oil-loving beta-hydroxy acid with powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits that exfoliates inside the follicle to stop breakouts before they reach the surface. 

2% L-Lactic Acid: A gentler AHA that sweeps away dead skin cells on the surface to refine texture and maximize the absorption of your other skincare products.

**2% Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (Azelogicina®): A highly stable, advanced derivative of Azelaic Acid that delivers powerful brightening, skin-firming, and intense redness-reducing benefits. 

How to Use

Shake well before use. After cleansing and toning, apply 1 pump of product evenly over the entire face or targeted areas of congestion, avoiding the immediate eye area. Let it absorb completely before applying your recommended hydrators, moisturizers, or sunscreens.

Esthetician Tip & Layering Rules: Because this serum is highly active and contains two exfoliating acids, do not layer it with other strong active treatments (like Acne Med, Retinoids, or Mandelic Serum) on the same night. Instead, alternate your nights to keep your skin barrier safe and healthy. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day!
