skinChemists is the award-winning, British skincare company. Our Best Selling, top rated Salicylic Acid Facial Serum targets acne, blemishes, and enlarged pores for clearer, healthier-looking skin. This lightweight formula absorbs quickly, helping to refine pores and leave skin looking cleaner and clearer over time.
What it does for you:
• Helps clear blemishes
• Minimises pores
• Improves overall skin feel
Key Ingredients (Why it works):
• Salicylic Acid: unclogs pores, helps clear breakouts and smooths rough skin texture.
Ideal for:
Ideal for those with blemish-prone skin who want a targeted serum that helps to clear breakouts, reduce blemishes, and minimise the look of enlarged pores.
For the best results:
• Week 1: skin may start to feel more comfortable and balanced from the first few uses, with a noticeably clearer feel.
• Week 4: with regular use, you may begin to notice a gradual improvement in skin texture and the appearance of pores and blemishes over time.
• Week 8: with consistent daily use, skin may start to feel clearer and more refined, with results that can vary between individuals.

Apply a few drops or a small pump to clean skin morning and evening. Smooth gently over the face and neck. Allow to fully absorb before the next skincare step. Follow with your favourite moisturiser. Always use SPF in the morning to protect your skin.

Pro Tips:

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How often should I use a salicylic acid serum?
A: Start with once daily, ideally in the evening. As your skin adjusts, you can use it twice daily if needed. If you notice dryness or flaking, reduce the frequency and always follow with a moisturiser.
Q: Can I use this serum under my moisturiser?
A: Yes — apply the serum to clean skin first, allow it to absorb for a minute, then follow with your moisturiser. This helps lock in the active ingredients while keeping skin balanced and hydrated.
