Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution With 2% Salicylic Acid

CLEAR Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution with 2% Salicylic Acid immediately goes to work fighting mild to moderate acne. The lightweight texture leaves you feeling like there’s nothing on your face, yet delivers powerful anti-acne benefits all day or all night long. Ongoing use leads to significantly clearer, smoother skin without redness. This exfoliant has a pH range of 3.5–4.0.

Gently apply using fingers or a cotton pad over entire face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids) after cleansing and toning. Do not rinse.

Start Slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, always finish with SPF 30+. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.

If you have a salicylate allergy, check with your physician before using any products that contain salicylic acid.

Ingredient Spotlight:

• Glycerin: A naturally occurring substance in skin that helps retain moisture. It is used in skin care products to help defend against dryness. Found naturally in skin; Helps skin retain moisture; Encourages a healthy look and feel
• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: This licorice derivative has strong antioxidant and skin soothing properties. Derived from licorice; Has antioxidant benefits; Strong anti-inflammatory properties
• Allantoin: An ingredient that can be naturally derived or made synthetically. It has skin-soothing and moisturizing properties, making it an excellent inclusion in products designed for sensitive skin. Can soothe skin; Has skin moisturizing properties; Helps mitigate skin’s response to active ingredients
• Salicylic Acid: Oil-soluble exfoliating ingredient that gently helps slough off dead skin cells and unclogs pores, for softer, smoother texture and tone. Also known as beta hydroxy acid (BHA); Best known for exfoliating properties; Oil solubility lets it exfoliate inside pores
• Panthenol: Also known as pro-vitamin B5. Humectant that increases hydration substantially by attracting/retaining moisture. Can also play a role in visibly reducing facial redness triggered by sensitivity. Well-known hydrating ingredient; May also help soothe sensitivity; Often referred to as pro-vitamin B5
• Sodium Hyaluronate: The more bio-available, salt form of hyaluronic acid. I’s considered an excellent moisturizer, helping skin retain water so it looks and feels smoother. Salt form of hyaluronic acid; Excellent skin-replenishing ingredient; More readily absorbed into skin than hyaluronic acid
