jimjams SKINLAB 2% BHA Clarifying Serum is an exfoliating serum with 2% salicylic acid that helps clear clogged pores, reduce the appearance of blackheads and blemishes, and regulate excess sebum production.
Oil-soluble salicylic acid (BHA) exfoliates the skin’s surface and can also penetrate pores, where it helps remove accumulated sebum and dead skin cells. With regular use, pores can appear clearer, skin texture smoother and the complexion more even.
Aloe vera, panthenol, glycerin and allantoin provide hydrating and soothing care to support skin comfort during exfoliation.
Primarily recommended for oily, combination, blackhead-prone and blemish-prone skin.
As part of the skin’s natural renewal process, dead skin cells reach the surface. If they are not shed effectively, they can mix with sebum and clog pores, leading to blackheads, uneven skin texture and blemishes.
Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are oil-soluble chemical exfoliants that can work inside sebum-filled pores as well as refine the skin’s surface. Salicylic acid is the most commonly used BHA in cosmetics. It helps loosen and remove impurities, sebum and dead skin cells that accumulate in pores. With regular, consistent use, it can contribute to clearer pores, smoother skin and fewer blemishes.
In the evening, apply 2–3 drops to cleansed, dry facial skin, avoiding the eye area. Gently spread evenly, then follow with a hydrating serum or moisturiser.
Start by using 2–3 times a week. Gradually increase the frequency if your skin tolerates it well. Do not use more often than your skin can tolerate without irritation, tightness or excessive peeling.
During the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
