This serum from NING DERMOLOGIE combines salicylic acid at 2% concentration with a blend of additional active ingredients including AHA, PHA, tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and Tembusu extract. It is formulated for use as a facial exfoliant aimed at addressing acne, blemishes, and visible pore size. The product is designed to support oil control while promoting a clearer, more even skin texture.

The 2% salicylic acid works as a beta hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to help remove excess sebum and dead skin cells, which may reduce the formation of comedones and breakouts. The inclusion of AHA and PHA provides gentle exfoliation on the skin’s surface, which can improve skin smoothness and radiance without excessive irritation. Tranexamic acid and niacinamide are included to help even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots or post-acne marks. Tembusu extract, a botanical ingredient, is incorporated for its potential soothing and antioxidant properties.

This serum is suitable for individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin types who are looking for a multi-functional exfoliating treatment. It can be used as part of a daily skincare routine, typically applied after cleansing and before moisturizing. The formula is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy, allowing for comfortable wear under other products.

The product comes in a 1 fluid ounce bottle with a dropper dispenser for controlled application. It is free from artificial fragrances and parabens, making it a practical option for those seeking a straightforward, ingredient-focused approach to managing acne and refining pores. As with any active ingredient, gradual introduction and patch testing are recommended to assess individual tolerance.
