Enter this serum. I’ve found using it every day has helped mitigate my flare-ups. This lotion has reached cult status for a good reason. It smells ghastly, but I couldn’t care less because it bloody works. It’s a spot treatment, so you don’t apply this over your entire face, only on your blemishes when they’re peeping through. Salicylic acid works to unclog blocked pores and wash away bacteria. I use a cotton bud to apply it, and I use it on my neck-ne and back-ne, too. I’ve probably gone through four or so bottles of this overnight treatment. It’s a potent mix of AHA glycolic acid, which buffs away dead skin cells while you sleep.
