Our Salicylic Acid Face Cream is a moisturizing, lightweight acne treatment that goes beyond just drying out pimples. Powered by 2% Salicylic Acid, it penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells – preventing new breakouts before they start.

Unlike harsh acne creams, this formula maintains skin’s moisture balance with Grapeseed Oil and Jojoba Oil for lightweight hydration, so your skin stays soft without feeling greasy. Zinc Oxide helps calm inflammation and reduce redness, while Panthenol and Allantoin keep skin hydrated and promote healing.

The addition of Glycolic Acid provides gentle exfoliation, improving skin texture and fading post-acne marks over time. With essential fatty acids, your skin barrier gets stronger and more resilient, reducing sensitivity and future breakouts.

Perfect for adult acne, jawline acne, and dry or combination skin prone to breakouts, this cream offers a complete approach to acne care – tackling both the cause of breakouts and your skin’s overall health.

However, if you have fungal acne, we recommend trying our Salicylic Acid Serum or Salicylic Acid Face Wash for a more suitable solution. With regular use, you’ll notice a visible improvement in your skin’s clarity, texture, and overall health.

Available in: 30ml

At night, apply a pea-sized amount of Salicylic Acid Cream to clean, dry skin. Start with 2–3 times a week to let your skin adjust. Once your skin is comfortable, you can use it more often. Even after your acne clears, keep using it a few times a week to prevent breakouts from coming back.

Avoid using it on the same day as other exfoliating products — especially if you’re new to exfoliants. This includes other products from our Salicylic Acid range, the Resurfacing Face Wash, or the Oat & Glycolic Acid Gel Toner.

Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is a β-hydroxy acid. It is also the only β-hydroxy acid that is used in skin care. It is chemical exfoliant and works by encouraging the desquamation of excess dead cells from the surface of the skin to reveal smoother, healthier looking skin below. Chemical exfoliants encourage the shedding of dead skin cells by dissolving the “glue” that holds them to the surface of the skin. Unlike AHAs, which include glycolic and lactic acid, among others, salicylic acid is lipophilic, or oil soluble, which means that it can penetrate the pores to exfoliate the pore lining and dissolve clogs. This property, in addition salicylic acid's anti-inflammatory, sebostatic and anti-microbial properties, also makes the ingredient a comedolytic, i.e., an ingredient that inhibits the formation of acne, which forms when sebum and dead skin cells become trapped inside the pore and can take the form of blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.

Organic, Cold-Pressed Sunflower Seed Oil
Sunflower seed oil is known for its high linoleic acid content. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function and preventing excessive water loss. It also reinforces cell membranes and exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Interestingly, research indicates that individuals with acne often have lower levels of linoleic acid in their sebum, highlighting its significance in skin health and making sunflower seed oil especially beneficial for those with acne-prone skin types.

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil exhibits high oxidative stability and resistance to rancidity. Studies on jojoba suggest that it has a topical active effect and can enhance the above ingredients through the skin. Jojoba oil contains wax esters in high concentration and has a composition similar to the sebum our skin naturally produces. This makes it especially good for skin conditions that involve altered skin barriers, such as acne and dermatitis. It has also been found to be beneficial against skin ageing and skin infections.

Panthenol
Panthenol is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid or vitamin B5. It readily penetrates into the skin where it is converted to pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is highly hygroscopic, i.e., it is effectively able to hold on to water, which is why it is often added to cosmetic formulas as a humectant or an ingredient that is used to moisturize and hydrate the skin. It also helps maintain the integrity of the skin’s barrier, results in a reduced rate of transepidermal water loss through the skin, and improves wound healing.
