[06] APLB - SALICYLIC ACID BHA ARBUTIN AMPOULE SERUM 40ML

A dual-action serum designed to clear pores, control breakouts, and brighten hyperpigmentation.

Suitable for Skin Type:

• Best for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin

• Suitable for normal skin dealing with dark spots or post-acne marks

• Use with caution on dry or sensitive skin due to exfoliating ingredients

What Will It Achieve?

• Unclogs pores, reduces breakouts, and controls oil production

• Fades dark spots, acne scars, and evens skin tone

• Prevents future breakouts and soothes inflamed skin

• Smooths rough texture and improves overall clarity

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Oil-soluble acid that exfoliates inside pores and reduces acne

• Arbutin: A brightening agent that fades hyperpigmentation and evens tone

• Niacinamide: Balances sebum, supports barrier, and boosts brightening

• Centella Asiatica Extract: Calms inflammation and speeds up skin repair

• Tea Tree Extract: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory

• Panthenol + Allantoin: Soothe and protect irritated skin

Best Used Morning or Evening Routine?

• Best for evening (PM) use, especially when starting

• Can be used in AM with SPF 50+, but caution with sun sensitivity

• Use 2–3x per week to start, then increase as tolerated

Complimented By:

• Calming toners (heartleaf, centella, or green tea based)

• Barrier-strengthening moisturizers (ceramides, panthenol, or peptides)

• Pair with hydrating serums to balance exfoliation (e.g., hyaluronic acid)

Avoid Layering With:

• Other strong acids (AHA, PHA) in the same routine

• Retinol or retinoids – unless alternating nights

• Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) – may cause irritation when combined

• Benzoyl peroxide – risk of over-drying and barrier damage

Which Step in the Routine Does It Belong?
Serum step – after toner, before moisturizer
(Can be used as a spot treatment on breakouts or pigmented areas)

Caution (Things to Be Aware Of):

• May cause initial purging or dryness when starting

• Always patch test before full use

• Use sunscreen daily during use to protect new skin
