About
The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is designed to treat acne and allow skin to heal. This body acne treatment helps to give clearer, smoother-looking skin.
The formula offers surface-level exfoliation through the inclusion of 0.5% salicylic acid, which helps to encourage the natural shedding of dead skin. Salicylic acid benefits for skin include its lipophilic nature, which means it can penetrate pores to control acne blemishes, while also improving the appearance of redness associated with acne.
Tested specifically for use on the body, this salicylic acid body serum has a nozzle applicator that allows for precise dispensation of the formula to target specific areas of acne.

Testing shows
- Starts to clear body acne in 3 days
- Helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming
- Reduces redness associated with acne in 72 hours*

*Clinical testing on 32 people, 2 x per day for 3 days.
