INNBEAUTY PROJECT

Acne Serum Medicated Treatment for Acne & Blackheads

Treatment · 30 ingredients

A medicated acne serum that targets blemishes and blackheads while addressing post-acne dark spots and dryness. It combines 1.5% salicylic acid, an FDA-approved acne-fighting acid, with a 6% skin barrier complex of ceramides, lactobacillus ferment, and botanical extracts to help balance oil production without compromising the skin's barrier. Tranexamic acid and niacinamide work together to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation left behind by breakouts, making it well suited for acne-prone skin dealing with both active blemishes and discoloration.
