Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Because it’s oil-soluble, salicylic acid can work inside the pores to target excess sebum and congestion; it’s effective on blackheads, whiteheads, and recurring breakouts. It supports shine control in oily and acne-prone skin; with regular use, the skin looks more purified, smoother, and matte.

CICA Anti-Acne Face Bar (set of 3) – A Korean-style “serum soap” with Salicylic Acid (BHA) + Centella (CICA) + Azelaic Acid; gently clears inside the pores while soothing the skin with CICA. Adds a practical “active” touch to daily cleansing.
How to use
-
Lather the bar in your hands, gently massage over the face—especially the T-zone—for 20–60 seconds, then rinse.
-
Start 3–5 times per week; increase frequency as tolerated.
-
Do not layer with strong acids/retinoids on the same night; balance with a moisturizer.
-
Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ during the day.
Who is it for?
-
Oily/combination skin with shine and visible enlarged pores
-
Skin prone to blackheads/whiteheads and breakouts
-
Those concerned with congestion and uneven texture
Routine suggestion (BHA-focused):
Cleanse → BHA Bar → (If needed) light toner/serum → Oil-controlling moisturizer → (Daytime) SPF 50+.
On alternate days, you can use AHA-based Clarity/Glow Tonic (not on the same day) to further support texture and tone. Add Pre+Probiotic Serum or hyaluronic acid for barrier comfort and hydration.
Tips & cautions
-
If you experience excessive dryness/tightness, reduce frequency.
-
Do not apply to irritated/broken areas; those with salicylate/aspirin sensitivity should not use.
