2025 NewBeauty Award Winner: Best Acne-Clearing Serum
“This fast-acting serum is good for us who still get acne, yet want something anti-aging” - Liz Ritter, NewBeauty executive editor

A non-drying, daily-use serum to clear and heal acne as it diminishes lines, uneven skin tone and dullness. 2% medicinal salicylic acid eliminates the acne bacteria environment and exfoliates pore-clogging skin cells to clear blackheads and whiteheads. Multi-level glycolic, lactic and azelaic acids smooth roughness and diminish lines, as niacinamide and a blend of lilac, oregano, thyme, and green tea extracts improve the appearance of environmental damage and strengthen the skin barrier. Think of it as your everyday topical skin supplement for clear, smooth radiance. Free of problematic benzoyl peroxide. From Glamour: “contains niacinamide, which helps improve skin tone and texture, and thyme extract, which can decrease excess sebum” – Dr. Hadley King, board-certified dermatologist

Key Ingredients

• Salicylic acid (OTC) 2%: Maximum FDA allowed, beta hydroxy acid destroys the acne bacteria environment. Sebum-soluble, salicylic acid is able to penetrate deep into pores to clear acne pimples, blackheads and whiteheads by exfoliating dead, pore-clogging skin.
• Glycolic acid 3.5%: Skin clearing, pH balanced alpha hydroxy acid. Potent exfoliant derived from sugar cane; its small molecule size helps readjust the water percentage in the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin) to create smoother, softer and more radiant skin. It also stimulates 'desquamation', or cell removal of the skin's uppermost layers to target clogged pores, dark spots, rough texture, and more.
• Lactic acid: A product of fermentation of plant derived sugars; its large molecule size penetrates slowly for gentle, mid-depth exfoliation; acts as a humectant and hydrates; smoothes roughness, improves clarity + radiance.
• Niacinamide: Skin-strengthening vitamin B3 - helps improve the appearance of environmental damage, problem pores, uneven tone, lines, and dullness.
• Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate: A glycinated derivative of azelaic acid; inherits the benefits of azelaic acid to reduces lines, roughness, dullness; increases cellular turnover. Improves the appearance of oily skin by normalizing sebum, brightens and clarifies skin tone. Significantly improves skin luminance and improve the appearance of spots.
• Camellia oleifera leaf extract: Green tea extract that is a natural antioxidant with polyphenols to help soothe and strengthen skin.
• Origanum vulgare leaf extract: From oregano, a botanical extract that is high contains the antioxidant, carvacrol.
• Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) extract: Pure, plant-derived botanical that targets excess sebum.
