Tips on using Expertly Clear Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin with Salicylic Acid:
Ingredients
Q: What are the main ingredients of this moisturizer? What does each do?
A:
Salicylic acid: This is one of the key ingredients. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that can penetrate deep into the pores and dissolve the oil and dead skin cells inside the pores, thereby effectively unclogging the pores and reducing the formation of acne and pimples. At the same time, salicylic acid also has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, which can reduce the inflammation and redness caused by acne.
Moisturizing ingredients (such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, etc.): Glycerin can attract water molecules in the air and lock moisture in the surface of the skin, replenishing the skin with moisture and preventing dryness. Sodium hyaluronate can absorb 1,000 times its own weight in water, deeply replenishing the skin, making the skin fuller and more elastic. They work together to maintain the hydration of the skin.
Plant extracts (such as tea tree essential oil, witch hazel extract, etc.): Tea tree essential oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, and further prevent and treat acne. Witch hazel extract contains ingredients such as tannins, which can shrink pores, soothe the skin, and relieve skin discomfort. It also has certain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Applicable skin type related

A:
Oily acne skin: Very suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. Its salicylic acid component can effectively control oil secretion and unclog pores. Ingredients such as tea tree essential oil can inhibit Propionibacterium acnes and solve the acne problem of oily skin. At the same time, the moisturizing ingredients can prevent the skin from being too greasy.

Sensitive acne skin: People with sensitive skin and acne-prone skin are recommended to try it on a small area of skin behind the ear or on the face before use, and observe for 24-48 hours. If there is no allergic reaction (such as redness, itching, stinging, etc.), use it normally. Because salicylic acid and certain plant extracts may be irritating to sensitive skin, but if the skin can tolerate it, its soothing ingredients can also help relieve the sensitivity caused by acne.

Q: Compared with other acne products, what are its characteristics?
A:

These ingredients work together to treat and prevent acne from multiple angles such as cleaning pores, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and soothing the skin. Compared with single-ingredient acne products, it can provide more comprehensive acne care.
Storage and other related
Q: How should this moisturizer be stored?
A:
It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment. Because high temperature and sunlight may affect the stability of the ingredients in the moisturizer, especially the activity of salicylic acid.
After each use, make sure the lid is tightly closed to prevent air from entering and causing oxidation of the ingredients or breeding of bacteria. If the texture, color or smell of the moisturizer is found to have changed significantly, it should be stopped.
Q: Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use this moisturizer?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women need to be cautious when using products containing salicylic acid. Salicylic acid may be absorbed into the body through the skin and have potential effects on the fetus or infant. It is recommended to consult a doctor before use and decide whether to use it based on personal specific circumstances.
