Key ingredients
- Salicylic acid 2% – chemically exfoliates dead cells that clog pores and helps prevent blemishes

How to use
Cleanse the skin thoroughly (step 3 of Getting Skin Ready, after cleansing and exfoliating). Sweep a pad over the affected area so that it is covered with a thin layer. Start with one application a day and, as needed or as directed by a physician, increase to 2–3 times a day. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce to once a day or every other day. Avoid the eye area. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure during use and for a week afterwards (AHAs increase sun sensitivity).
