Acne Treatment Serum with Salicylic Acid, specially formulated for acne prone skin.

Formulated with 5% Salicylic Acid & 5% Lactic Acid.

 

What does it do:

  • Clears congestion: Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil, debris, and comedones, helping to prevent blockages.

  • Smooths and brightens: Lactic acid gently removes compacted surface cells, improving skin texture and promoting a more even, radiant tone.

  • Controls breakouts and inflammation: The combined exfoliating and anti-inflammatory effects help reduce active blemishes and minimise redness.

  • Regulates oil production: Consistent use assists in balancing sebum levels and diminishing the appearance of enlarged pores.

  • Maintains hydration: Lactic acid also functions as a humectant, drawing in moisture to support a healthier skin barrier while exfoliating.

 

Use:

After cleansing with Propaira Acne Foaming Cleansing Gel, apply a thin layer of the Acne Exfoliating Serum to the face and affected areas in the evening.

For external use only

Always use SPF 30-50+ before sun exposure.

 

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Lactic Acid, Ethanol, Pentylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.

Use in the evening only, after cleansing, on dry skin. This is a leave-on exfoliating serum with 5% salicylic acid and 5% lactic acid, so introduce it gradually.

1. Cleanse with Propaira Acne Foaming Cleansing Gel and pat completely dry.
2. Apply a thin layer to the face and affected areas, avoiding the eye area, lips and any broken skin.
3. Allow it to absorb, then follow with a light moisturiser such as Propaira Acne Purifying Cream if your skin needs it.

Start with two to three nights per week and build up to nightly as your skin tolerates it.

Tips:
- Patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear for 24 hours before first use.
- Wear a broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning while using this serum, as exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity.
- Do not layer with retinol or other strong exfoliants on the same night. Alternate nights instead.
- A mild, brief tingle is normal at first. If you notice stinging, persistent redness or peeling, cut back the frequency and let your skin settle.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before using exfoliating acids.
- For external use only.
Key ingredients:
- Salicylic Acid 5%: an oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore to help clear the look of blackheads and congestion.
- Lactic Acid 5%: an AHA that smooths surface texture and helps brighten the look of the skin.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: helps soothe and comfort the skin.

Full ingredients (INCI):
Purified Water, Lactic Acid, Ethanol, Pentylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.
It suits oily, congested and breakout-prone skin that wants a stronger exfoliating step. If your skin is sensitive or new to acids, start with two nights a week. It is a cosmetic exfoliant for skin prone to breakouts; see your GP or dermatologist for persistent acne.
Most people notice smoother texture within two to four weeks, with the look of congestion and blackheads improving over four to eight weeks of consistent use.
Not on the same night. Alternate nights, for example this serum on Monday and Wednesday and a retinol such as Propaira Retinol Plus on Tuesday and Thursday, and watch how your skin responds.
A brief, mild tingle on application is common with a 10% total acid concentration. Persistent burning, stinging or visible irritation is not; rinse off, moisturise and reduce frequency.

Gentle but Effective Serum

Been using this nightly for three weeks and my clogged pores are much calmer. Lightweight, absorbs fast and doesn't leave residue, perfect under moisturiser.

Feels like the professional products our derm uses. Packaging is neat, pump dispenses just the right amount and a little goes a long way.

This helped reduce the size of a couple of painful spots within days. Strong but controlled formula, I always dilute with a bit less product to start.

Nice Scent, No Irritation

Has a faint fresh scent and hasn't made my sensitive cheeks red. I use it every second night and wake up with calmer skin.

Really pared down approach that suits my oily skin. Two drops on clean skin, follow with moisturiser and spots recover faster than before.
