This fast-absorbing 1.7 fl. oz. formula is designed for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin that needs hydration without clogging pores. It combines a proven acne-fighting beta hydroxy acid with a targeted ingredient to visibly improve uneven tone and texture. Fragrance- and dye-free, the moisturizer aims to balance skin, deliver 24-hour hydration, and support clearer-looking skin with continued use.

How quickly does this moisturizer start to impact breakouts and skin texture?

Clinical testing shows measurable improvement in pimple size, smoothness, and radiance within one week for users in study settings. The salicylic acid works to help clear and prevent blemishes while the supporting ingredients help restore evenness.

• Contains 0.5% salicylic acid to address clogged pores and surface blemishes
• 2% N‑Acetyl Glucosamine supports fading of post-acne marks
• Clinical results reported for smoother, more radiant skin in about one week

Will this gel moisturize without feeling greasy or causing more breakouts?

The gel base is formulated to absorb quickly and leave a non-greasy finish, making it suitable for oily and combination complexions. It’s non-comedogenic and designed to hydrate for up to 24 hours while helping maintain the skin’s moisture barrier.

• Light, fast-absorbing gel texture prevents heavy residue
• Non-comedogenic so it does not intentionally clog pores
• Delivers 24-hour hydration to support barrier function

How should I include this product in my daily skincare routine?

Use this gel moisturizer after cleansing and any treatment serums, morning and night. In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF; at night it can be layered under heavier treatments if required by your regimen.

• Apply to clean, dry skin after toner or serum
• Use AM/PM; pair with sunscreen in daylight hours
• Works well under makeup due to its non-greasy finish

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin or those avoiding fragrances?

The formula is free of added fragrances and dyes, which reduces a common source of irritation. While many with acne-prone or sensitive skin tolerate it well, patch testing is recommended for those with very reactive skin types.

• Fragrance- and dye-free formulation
• Non-comedogenic and lightweight for sensitive-prone complexions
• Patch test before full use if you have highly reactive skin
