Ketostat 20% Salicylic Acid Serum — 2 fl oz High-Strength Exfoliant, Lightweight Fast-Absorbing

This concentrated serum combines a high-strength salicylic acid solution with a simple carrier to give a straightforward exfoliating step that targets surface buildup and excess oil. Packaged in a generous 2 fl oz bottle, the formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. It is intended for external topical use only; always patch-test and use sunscreen when applying during daytime.

How should I introduce a 20% salicylic acid serum into my routine?

Start slowly: apply a small amount to a limited area once every few days to assess tolerance, then increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Use at night when possible, and pair with gentle cleansers and hydrating layers to minimize dryness.

• Patch-test on forearm 24–48 hours before widespread use.
• Begin with once-every-3-days application, building to nightly if tolerated.
• Always follow with a moisturizer; use SPF during daytime.

What results can I expect and how quickly?

You may notice smoother texture and reduced surface congestion within one to four weeks depending on skin condition and frequency of use. Because this is a high-strength acid solution, visible improvements in shed skin cells and oil control can occur faster than with lower concentrations—but results vary by individual.

• Initial textural smoothing often in days to weeks.
• Consistent use may reveal clearer-feeling skin over several weeks.
• Monitor for irritation and reduce frequency if redness or excessive dryness occurs.

Is this serum safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

A 20% salicylic acid concentration is strong and can be irritating for sensitive skin, so proceed cautiously. Those with acne-prone or oilier skin types may benefit from its deep-penetrating, oil-soluble exfoliation, but sensitivity testing is essential before regular use.

• Not recommended for broken or inflamed skin without professional guidance.
• Patch-test to determine tolerance, then apply sparingly at first.
• Stop use if persistent irritation, burning, or severe redness occurs.

How does Ketostat’s formula fit into a clean skincare routine?

Ketostat’s two-ingredient approach keeps the product focused and easy to layer within minimalist regimens. The formula is cruelty-free and excludes parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances, making it a straightforward exfoliant that won’t add unnecessary actives or potential irritants.

• Simple composition for predictable performance.
• Free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
