Key ingredients:

* 2% salicylic acid
Salicylic acid cleanses and exfoliates from within the pore, breaking down the clogged oil and skin cells that can lead to breakouts.

*Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, this soothing anti-inflammatory quickly reduces redness and irritation around the blemish area while regulating sebum production to prevent clogged pores.

*Azelaic acid
With its powerful antibacterial properties, azelaic acid targets blemish-causing bacteria such as P. acnes.

*Dioic acid
Able to control the amount of oil produced by the pores, dioic acid helps unclog and prevent future breakouts.

How it works:

Impurities come in many different forms, but the basic steps for their formation are always the same. Dead skin cells mix with sebum produced by the pores to form a plug. This creates the perfect environment for blemish-prone bacteria (C. acnes) to thrive, leading to red and painful inflammation. Blemish SOS targets all these contributing elements to promote flawless skin.

The targeted serum uses beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) salicylic acid to help unclog clogged pores, which helps loosen clumps of dead skin cells stuck in pores.

Dioic acid is also useful for reducing the amount of sebum our skin produces.

Antibacterial Azelaic Acid targets acne-causing C. acnes.

Niacinamide soothes visible redness and soothes the skin.
