BLUE WAVE 2% Salicylic Acid Medicated Acne Clearing Serum

Recommended for: Active acne & acne-prone skin 

Target concerns:

• Acne & inflamed breakouts
• Blackheads & whiteheads 
• Congested pores 
• Oily skin 

Zap acne, not your barrier! This clean acne serum clears blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads with maximum strength 2% salicylic acid. While salicylic acid dissolves deep pore congestion and prevents new breakouts from forming, plant-based powerhouses like clarifying willow bark, soothing blue tansy, and cooling aloe replenish the skin’s barrier and prevent signs of irritation. The result: clearer, calmer-looking skin and fewer breakouts. Benzene-free. Derm tested & endorsed.

Scent: Herbaceous, slightly medicinal

Texture: Silky, creamy 

Color: Pale blue

Apply twice daily after cleansing to active acne and breakout-prone areas. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Salicylic acid may increase sun sensitivity: always use SPF while using this product.

Sodium PCA: A plant-based humectant that draws moisture into the skin to replenish the skin barrier.

Instructions:

• Place outer carton into paper recycling.
• Rinse the glass bottle thoroughly, and recycle.
• Unfortunately pumps cannot be recycled at this time due to their many mixed parts. That's why Herbivore is moving to pumps that contain post-consumer recycled materials. Please dispose of them properly.

As an ultra-clean, plant-based brand, we make our products, source ingredients, and design packaging to be gentle on the planet and on our bodies. We package primarily in glass and paper, using recyclable plastic only where absolutely necessary. Always trying to reduce our footprint further, we are looking into ways to reduce and 100% eliminate all virgin plastic from our packaging by 2025.
