Disclaimer:

- It is 2% Salicylic acid so a strong treatment for acne hence do not use with with Isotretinoin,Retinoids,Glycolic acid products.
- Use a good oil-free and non-comedogenic sunscreen during the day.
- One might experience peeling/dryness/flakiness,in such a case reduce the usage and use a non-comedogenic moisturiser.
- It will suit for mild-moderate form of acne.It is not the most effective treatment for cystic/severe acne.
- It is best to use as a maintenance product or stand alone product.
