Purifying Cream
Description:
The purifying cream contains 2% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its ability to exfoliate the skin and treat various skin concerns. Here are the benefits of a 2% salicylic acid cream:
- Exfoliates the Skin: Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores, where it helps to dissolve excess oil, dead skin cells, and other debris that can clog pores and lead to acne breakouts and blackheads. By exfoliating the skin, salicylic acid helps to keep pores clear and prevent future breakouts.
- Treats Acne: Salicylic acid is highly effective in treating acne, including whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness and swelling associated with acne lesions, while its exfoliating action helps to unclog pores and prevent new breakouts from forming.
- Reduces Oiliness: Salicylic acid helps to regulate sebum production in the skin, making it an excellent ingredient for those with oily or combination skin types. By controlling excess oiliness, salicylic acid can help minimize shine and reduce the risk of clogged pores and acne breakouts.
- Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of a 2% salicylic acid cream can help improve the overall texture of the skin by promoting cell turnover and removing dead skin cells. This can result in smoother, softer, and more radiant-looking skin.
- Unclogs Pores: Salicylic acid has the ability to penetrate deep into the pores, where it helps to dissolve and remove the buildup of oil, dirt, and debris that can cause pores to become clogged. By keeping pores clear, salicylic acid helps to prevent the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.
- Brightens Skin Tone: Salicylic acid has mild skin-lightening properties that can help to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by acne lesions. With regular use, salicylic acid can help to even out skin tone and improve overall complexion.
Directions of Use:
- Cleanse: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply: Dispense 1 pump of Purifying Cream onto your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin, focusing on areas prone to acne or congestion. Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Allow the cream to absorb fully into your skin before applying any additional skincare products.
- Follow with Moisturizer and Sunscreen: After applying the salicylic acid cream, follow up with a moisturizer to hydrate and nourish the skin. During the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, as salicylic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
Frequency of Use:
For best results, use the Purifying Cream cream once daily, preferably in the evening. If you have sensitive skin or are new to salicylic acid, you may want to start by using it every other day and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
Monitor Sensitivity: Pay attention to how your skin responds to the Purifying Cream cream. Some mild tingling or temporary redness may occur, especially during the initial days of use. If you experience excessive dryness, irritation, or discomfort, reduce the frequency of use or discontinue use altogether and consult your skin therapist.
