DESCRIPTION
Three Products, Three Different Jobs
Acne isn't one problem. Oil collects inside the pore, dead skin traps it there, and the resulting inflammation leaves marks that outlast the breakout by months. A single product addresses one of those — which is why most people cycle through acne washes without much changing.
This bundle covers all three. Rs. 6,037 for a 237ml cleanser, 250ml toner and 30ml serum — less than buying them separately.
What's Inside
① Acne Control Cleanser — 2% Salicylic Acid · 237ml
Inside the pore · morning and evening
Salicylic acid is a BHA — oil-soluble, so it dissolves into sebum and reaches inside the pore rather than working only on the surface. That's what makes it the right acid for blackheads and the congestion that becomes a breakout.
Formulated at 2%, the maximum concentration available over the counter, but gentle enough for twice-daily use. Most acne cleansers strip the skin, which triggers more oil and makes things worse over a few weeks.
② Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution · 250ml
On the surface · 2 to 4 evenings a week
Glycolic acid is an AHA — water-soluble, working on the skin's surface. It clears the dead cell buildup that traps oil in the first place, and fades the dark marks left behind after a breakout heals.
Together with the cleanser, that's genuine AHA and BHA coverage — surface and pore level, using two acids that each do what the other can't.
③ Super Charged 10% Niacinamide Serum · 30ml
Oil production and marks · every morning
Niacinamide regulates how much sebum your skin produces, rather than removing what's already there. It also calms the redness around active breakouts and fades post-acne marks by interrupting pigment transfer to surface cells.
At 10%, the concentration most clinical work supports.
Why Three Rather Than One
| The problem | What handles it |
|---|---|
| Oil and debris inside pores | 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) — cleanser |
| Dead skin trapping it there | 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA) — toner |
| Excess oil production | 10% Niacinamide — serum |
| Redness and inflammation | 10% Niacinamide — serum |
| Dark marks after healing | Glycolic acid + niacinamide together |
Your Week
Every morning: cleanse → niacinamide serum → moisturizer → SPF
2–4 evenings a week: cleanse → glycolic acid toner → wait 3–5 minutes → moisturizer
Other evenings: cleanse → moisturizer
Start slower than you think. Week one: cleanser twice daily and niacinamide in the morning only. Add the toner at two evenings a week from week two, and build to four over the following month. Introducing three actives at once is the most common way people irritate their skin and give up.
Moisturizer isn't optional. Acne-prone skin that's stripped produces more oil. Barrier support is what makes this routine work over months rather than weeks.
What to Expect — Including the Part Nobody Mentions
| Timeline | What happens |
|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | Less oil, skin feels cleaner. Some dryness as it adjusts. |
| Weeks 2–4 | Possible temporary increase in breakouts as turnover speeds up. This is normal. |
| Weeks 4–8 | Fewer new breakouts, blackheads visibly reduced. |
| Weeks 8–12 | Clearer skin overall, post-acne marks starting to fade. |
| Month 3+ | Marks continue fading. This is the slowest part. |
About weeks 2–4: exfoliating acids speed up cell turnover, which can bring congestion that was already forming to the surface faster. It usually settles by week six. If breakouts are still worsening after that, it's more likely irritation than purging — reduce the toner to twice weekly and see whether it improves.
This is the point most people quit. Knowing it's coming is most of the battle.
Sunscreen Matters More With Acne
Two reasons. Glycolic acid increases UV sensitivity for days after each use. And post-acne marks — the dark spots left after a breakout heals — darken with sun exposure and take far longer to fade without daily protection.
Add SPF 50 or SPF 70 at Rs. 1,200. Both are non-comedogenic and won't add to congestion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of this acne bundle in Pakistan?
Rs. 6,037 for all three — 237ml cleanser, 250ml toner, 30ml serum — lower than buying them individually. At the recommended frequency, they last around three months.
What is the best serum for acne?
Niacinamide, for oil regulation and calming inflammation. It won't clear existing blackheads on its own — that's what the salicylic acid cleanser is for — but it reduces how much oil refills the pores.
What is the best serum for acne scars?
For flat dark marks, niacinamide and glycolic acid together — one slows pigment transfer, the other clears pigmented surface cells. Raised or indented scarring is textural rather than pigmentary and needs clinical treatment; no serum resolves it.
Will this make me break out at first?
Possibly, in weeks two to four. Turnover speeds up and existing congestion surfaces sooner. It typically settles by week six — if it doesn't, reduce the toner frequency.
Can I use all three every day?
No. Cleanser twice daily and niacinamide every morning are fine. The toner is a maximum of four evenings a week — daily use causes cumulative irritation rather than faster clearing.
Can I use the cleanser and toner on the same night?
Yes. The cleanser rinses off, so it doesn't conflict with the leave-on toner afterwards.
Do I need moisturizer with acne-prone skin?
Yes. Stripped skin produces more oil to compensate, which is why harsh acne routines often make things worse. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer after every step.
Is this suitable for cystic acne?
These help with congestion, blackheads and surface breakouts. Persistent cystic or nodular acne usually needs prescription treatment — worth seeing a dermatologist rather than working through it over the counter.
How long until I see results?
Less oil within two weeks, fewer breakouts by weeks four to eight, and marks fading from around week eight. Acne routines are slow, and consistency matters more than intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Is this bundle a direct alternative to CeraVe and The Ordinary in Pakistan?
Yes. The Acne Control Cleanser is formulated around the same barrier-safe, clinically gentle philosophy as CeraVe's acne range. The Niacinamide Serum delivers the same hero ingredient as The Ordinary's best-selling formula. Both at a locally sustainable price without import dependency.
Can I use Niacinamide and Glycolic Acid together?
Yes, but at separate times. Apply Niacinamide Serum in the morning and Glycolic Acid toner in the evening. Using them simultaneously can reduce the effectiveness of both. Separating them by AM and PM maximizes what each delivers.
Will this bundle help with blackheads?
Yes, significantly. Salicylic Acid in the toner is one of the most effective ingredients for blackhead removal it dissolves the oil and debris inside pores that form blackheads. Consistent use visibly reduces blackhead formation over 3–4 weeks.
Is this bundle safe for sensitive acne-prone skin?
The cleanser and Niacinamide serum are both formulated for sensitive skin. The Glycolic Acid toner contains active exfoliants begin at 2 evenings per week and increase gradually. If sensitivity persists reduce frequency and focus on barrier repair before increasing exfoliation.
What is the price of this bundle compared to CeraVe and The Ordinary in Pakistan?
Imported CeraVe and The Ordinary products in Pakistan carry a significant retail markup over their original retail price. Dermasation's Acne Treatment Bundle delivers comparable clinical formulas at a fraction of the combined import cost making a complete three-step acne routine affordable for daily sustained use.
