What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Our powerful serum with a blend of 2% Salicylic Acid along with 1% Azelaic Acid, which works together to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of acne and blemishes. Salicylic acid serum, prevents clogging and regulates oil, while Witch Hazel minimizes pore size and calms skin, resulting in a more refined complexion. Green Tea Extract, has astringent properties that helps minimize the appearance of pores. Together, the addition of these ingredients in Jovees salicylic acid serum provide a comprehensive approach to managing excess sebum and promoting healthier, balanced skin. Benefits: Controls Acne And Tightens Pores: Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), exfoliates and penetrates skin, effectively unclogging pores, preventing breakouts, and controlling oil production. It removes dead skin cells, reducing clogs. Witch hazel, with potent astringent properties, minimizes excess oil and tightens pores. Removes Blackheads And Whiteheads: Salicylic acid serum aids in removing blackheads and whiteheads by penetrating the skin and dissolving the excess oil and dead skin cells that contribute to their formation. As a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), it's oil-soluble, making it effective at entering pores. This process minimizes the conditions that lead to blackheads and whiteheads, allowing for clearer and smoother skin. Curbs Excess Sebum Production: Azelaic Acid regulates excess sebum production by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation. It also helps to exfoliate the skin, preventing clogged pores and improving the overall skin texture. Suits Even Sensitive Skin: Jovees 2% Salicylic Acid Acne Control Serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, due to its mild exfoliating properties. It can effectively unclog pores and remove dead skin cells without causing irritation. The soothing and anti-inflammatory properties of Aloe Vera Gel in this salicylic acid serum, helps calm aggravated skin.

Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.
How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phenoxyethanol's widespread adoption as the primary cosmetic preservative followed the phaseout of parabens from many formulations in the 2000s-2010s. despite having a comparable or better safety profile to parabens, it is often cited in 'free-from' formulations โ a consumer perception issue rather than a scientific safety concern.
