Dot & Key Cica + 2% Salicylic Serum for Acne & Oil Control 30ml

Product Information

The Dot & Key Cica + 2% Salicylic Serum is a specialized treatment designed for those dealing with active breakouts, blackheads, and excessive oiliness. While the Glycolic serum (AHA) works on the surface, this Salicylic (BHA) serum goes deep into the pores to "degunk" them from the inside out.The addition of Cica (Centella Asiatica) is the "secret sauce" here, as it calms the redness and inflammation that usually accompanies acne.## Key BenefitsPore Decongestion: Dissolves the oil and dead skin cells that cause blackheads and whiteheads.Active Acne Treatment: Helps shrink existing pimples faster by reducing inflammation.Sebum Regulation: Balances oil production to keep the face matte yet hydrated.Soothing Redness: Cica acts as a healing agent to prevent the "angry," red look of post-acne skin.### High-Performance IngredientsThis formula balances aggressive acne-fighting with skin-calming botanicals:IngredientConcentrationPrimary FunctionSalicylic Acid (BHA)2%Oil-soluble acid that penetrates pores to clear blockages.Cica (Centella)IncludedSoothes irritation and speeds up skin cell repair.Green Tea ExtractIncludedPotent antioxidant that reduces sebum and fights bacteria.Zinc PCAIncludedSynergizes with BHA to control oil and reduce shine.## How to UseSince this contains a 2% BHA (the maximum over-the-counter strength), it should be handled with care:Spot or Full Face: You can use this as a spot treatment directly on a pimple, or all over the face if you have widespread congestion.Frequency: Start with once every 2–3 days. If your skin doesn't get dry or flaky, you can move to once daily (preferably at night).The "Purge" Warning: BHA can cause a "purge" where deep-seated clogs come to the surface. This is normal and usually lasts 2–4 weeks.Avoid Mixing: Do not use this in the same session as the 10% Glycolic Serum. One is for surface glow (AHA), the other is for deep cleaning (BHA). Using both together can cause a chemical burn.> A Quick Pro-TipIf you have a "blind pimple" (those painful bumps under the skin that haven't come to a head), apply a drop of this serum and follow up with the Water Drench Serum to keep the area hydrated while the BHA works its magic.
