Anti-Acne Gel

Congestion and shine tend to come back in the same places. This light gel combines 2% USP-grade salicylic acid with Phragmites kharka and Poria cocos extracts to loosen dead cells, so blemishes look less noticeable over time.

Reduces visible shine and the look of congested skin.
Targets individual blemishes rather than the whole face at once.
Leaves a clean, refreshing feeling on the skin after each application.
Light, non-greasy texture that layers under sunscreen or makeup.

How to use

Cleanse first, morning and night, and pat the skin dry.
Press one small dose onto your fingertips from the airless pump.
Massage lightly onto the areas that break out, not the whole face.
Follow with your usual Aquafolia moisturizer once the gel has fully absorbed.
In the morning, finish with sun protection. Salicylic acid can make skin more sensitive to sun.

Questions

How often should I use it?

Morning and night, on the areas that break out. Salicylic acid works by keeping dead cells moving, so regular use matters more than heavy use. One small dose is enough. If your skin feels tight or looks flushed, drop to once daily for a week.

Can I use it with my other Aquafolia products?

Yes. Cleanse, apply the gel to the areas that need it, then your usual moisturizer. It is a targeted step, not a replacement for hydration. In the morning, finish with sun protection, since salicylic acid can leave skin more reactive to sunlight.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Aquafolia lists it for oily and blemish-prone skin, not specifically for sensitive skin. Salicylic acid at 2% can feel drying on reactive skin. Start every second night on one area and watch how your skin responds. Émilie can look at your skin before you commit.

How is it different from the Exfoliant Cell Biotech Probio?

The Anti-Acne Gel is a daily targeted step for blemish-prone areas, built on salicylic acid. The Exfoliant Cell Biotech Probio is a rinse-off exfoliant for all skin types, used a few times a week for a clearer look. They do different jobs and can share a routine.
