WHY WE LOVE IT

Removes excess oil without over-drying the skin
Helps calm visible redness and post-breakout marks
Supports a healthy, balanced skin microbiome
Leaves acne-prone skin feeling clean + hydrated, not stripped
KEY INGREDIENTS
2% Salicylic Acid — A tried-and-true BHA for acne-prone skin. It works inside the pore to clear dead skin, oil, and buildup while helping prevent future breakouts.
1% Azelaic Acid — One of our favorites for breakout-prone skin. Helps calm visible redness, support clearer skin, and improve the look of those lingering post-breakout marks.
1% Niacinamide — Helps balance excess oil, calm inflammation, support the skin barrier, and improve uneven-looking tone.
Triple Biotic Technology — A microbiome-focused blend of prebiotic inulin, postbiotics, and PCA SKIN's smart biotic technology designed to support the good stuff while keeping the skin environment balanced.
THE METHOD
Acne doesn't need to be attacked—it needs to be managed. This is our pick for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin that needs effective acne control without compromising the barrier. Start once daily if you're new to salicylic acid or tend to get dry, then increase as your skin adjusts.
