a client favorite, salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy-acid (BHA), well known for its ability to break down sebum in the pores. use this exfoliating serum all over the face (after the skin is acclimated to using mandelic toner twice a day), as a spot treatment or as an excellent remedy for ingrown hairs. 

directions: after washing, icing and toning your skin, apply 2 pumps of serum to the entire face. apply an additional pump to your chest if need be, but avoid the delicate neck area. let dry, and finish with your skin regimen. to use as a spot treatment or for ingrown hairs, use a cotton swab to carefully and sparingly apply where needed, no more than twice daily. 

warning: BHA salicylic acid is not suitable for pregnant or nursing people. use AHA based mandelic toner or glycolic serum instead, with your doctor’s approval.
