Oil Control Toner, 2% BHA SALICYLIC ACID

1. Start with freshly cleansed, dry skin
Use a gentle cleanser, then pat your skin dry. This toner works best on clean, product-free skin to help BHA reach deep into the pores.

2. Dispense onto a cotton pad or into palms
Use a few drops on a cotton pad and sweep across the face—or pat in with clean hands if you prefer minimal waste. Avoid the eye and lip area.

3. Focus on oil-prone or congested zones
Gently swipe over the T-zone, nose, chin, or areas prone to breakouts and blackheads. Use lightly on drier areas.

4. Let it absorb before layering
Wait 60–90 seconds for the BHA to absorb and start working. Then proceed with hydrating serums or moisturisers.

5. When to use it

- Start with 2–3 nights per week if you're new to acids.

- Gradually increase to daily PM use if your skin tolerates it.

- Can also be used in the AM if your routine is acid-free and you're using SPF.

6. What not to mix

- Avoid layering with retinol or other strong acids (AHAs) in the same routine.

- Pair with niacinamide or HA afterwards to restore moisture and calm skin.

7. Pro tips

- Use it only once daily—even oily skin needs balance.

- For breakout-prone skin, follow with Niacinamide 5 % + Zinc or HA + B5 Serum to support recovery.

- Always follow with SPF in the morning—BHA increases sun sensitivity.

Why these steps matter:
2 % salicylic acid needs time and a clean canvas to penetrate pores and break down oil and debris. These steps maximise its clarifying effects while protecting and rehydrating the skin barrier.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) – 2%:
A beta hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum, remove dead skin cells, and help prevent breakouts. At 2%, this is the optimal strength for clearing congestion, reducing blackheads, and improving skin texture without over-drying. Especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):
Helps calm inflammation, balance oil production, and fade post-blemish marks. Niacinamide also supports barrier health, making it ideal for reducing redness and refining skin texture when paired with active exfoliants like salicylic acid.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5):
A skin-soothing agent that helps replenish hydration and ease any potential irritation. Panthenol supports comfort and recovery, particularly for skin prone to breakouts or sensitivity.

Propanediol + Glycerin:
Hydrating humectants that prevent the skin from feeling stripped or tight post-application. They help maintain softness while enhancing ingredient delivery.

pH-balanced base (~3.5–4.0):
Formulated at an acidic pH to maximize salicylic acid efficacy and absorption. This ensures exfoliation happens at the right depth while maintaining skin tolerance.

Free from: Fragrance, Silicones, Drying alcohols, Essential oils
