DESCRIPTION
A 2% Salicylic Acid Face Wash for Acne-Prone Skin
Salicylic acid is a BHA beta hydroxy acid. Unlike AHAs, which work on the skin's surface, it's oil-soluble, so it dissolves into sebum and reaches inside the pore itself. That's what makes it the right acid for blackheads, congestion and the breakouts that start below the surface.
This cleanser is formulated at 2% salicylic acid the maximum concentration permitted over the counter, and the level clinical work actually supports. 237ml for Rs. 2,000.
Why Gentle Matters More Than Strong
Most acne face washes strip. Harsh surfactants remove every trace of oil and call it clean, but stripped skin isn't clear skin it's dehydrated, reactive skin that overproduces sebum to compensate. That's the cycle that makes acne worse over months of trying harder.
This one delivers a real active at a real concentration while leaving the barrier intact, which is what makes twice-daily use sustainable rather than something your skin has to recover from.
Key Benefits
- 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates inside pores to clear the oil and debris that cause blackheads
- Reduces congestion targets blackheads and closed comedones, particularly around the nose and chin
- Controls oil without stripping removes excess sebum, SPF, makeup and daily buildup while leaving the barrier intact
- Non-comedogenic won't contribute to congestion
- Gentle enough for twice-daily use despite the active concentration
How to Use
Morning: wet face with lukewarm water. Apply and lather for 30–60 seconds, giving the acid time to work. Rinse and pat dry. Follow with Niacinamide Serum, moisturizer, and SPF 50 or SPF 70.
Evening: repeat to remove sunscreen and daily buildup, then follow with your treatment step and moisturizer.
If your skin is new to salicylic acid, start once daily in the evening and build to twice daily over a couple of weeks.
AHA and BHA — How They Work Together
Salicylic acid (BHA) works inside pores. Glycolic acid (AHA) works on the surface, resurfacing texture and fading dark spots. They address different problems, which is why using both covers more ground than doubling up on either.
This cleanser is the BHA step. The Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is the AHA step, used in the evening two to four times a week. Together with Niacinamide Serum for oil regulation, that's the Acne Treatment Bundle — a complete AHA and BHA routine for less than buying the three separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a salicylic acid face wash?
Yes — formulated at 2% salicylic acid, the maximum over-the-counter concentration.
Does it help with blackheads?
This is what salicylic acid does best. Because it's oil-soluble it dissolves into the sebum blocking the pore, rather than working only on the surface. Expect visible change over two to four weeks of consistent use.
Can I use it twice a day?
Yes, once your skin has adjusted. Start once daily in the evening for the first week or two, then build up. Reduce frequency if you notice dryness or tightness.
Can I use it with glycolic acid?
Yes. The cleanser rinses off, so it doesn't conflict with a leave-on acid afterwards. Cleanse, then apply the Glycolic Acid toner on the evenings you use it.
Can I use it with niacinamide?
Yes — an effective pairing. Salicylic acid clears the pores, niacinamide regulates the oil that refills them.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
2% is well tolerated by most people, but patch test first and start with evening-only use. If you get persistent stinging or flaking, reduce to every other day.
Is salicylic acid safe during pregnancy?
Topical salicylic acid at low concentrations is generally considered lower-risk than oral forms, but this is a question for your doctor rather than a product page.
