Description

The 2% Salicylic Acid Serum for Acne that goes to work while you sleep — clearing clogged pores, calming active breakouts, fading marks, and keeping your skin barrier strong. All in one lightweight formula, every night. Powered by BHA + Niacinamide + Ceramides — because clearing acne and protecting your barrier should happen at the same time, not one at the expense of the other.

What Makes This 2% Salicylic Acid Serum Special?

Most anti-acne serums for oily skin either dry your skin out or leave your barrier damaged after a few weeks. This serum was built differently. The 2% Salicylic Acid is the active that clears — but Niacinamide and Ceramides are there to make sure your skin doesn't pay a price for it.

Barrier-First BHA: 2% Salicylic Acid Serum for Acne clears pores and targets acne-causing bacteria — while Ceramides rebuild the lipid barrier it would otherwise weaken.
Marks & Tone: Niacinamide works on post-acne hyperpigmentation so each cleared breakout actually fades, not just flattens.
Lightweight Formula: A serum texture that absorbs fully — no greasiness, no pilling, no heaviness overnight.
Clean & Gentle: Free from alcohol, parabens, and heavy fragrance — safe for reactive and sensitive skin types alongside active acne.

Key Benefits

Active Acne Control Calms and soothes acne without drying out the skin — so you wake up with less redness, not more.

Pore Clearing Acts as a BHA exfoliant for blackheads and clogged pores, dissolving the buildup before it becomes a breakout.

Mark Fading Works as an acne mark removal serum — Niacinamide targets post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind after acne clears.

Barrier Repair Ceramides rebuild and protect the skin's natural shield — locking in moisture and preventing the dryness and irritation that most acne serums cause.

Hero Ingredients & Specifications

2% Salicylic Acid Serum for Acne (BHA) Penetrates deep into pores to remove impurities, dissolve blackheads, and reduce acne-causing bacteria while soothing irritation. At 2%, it is the most effective concentration without over-stripping. Read the research on salicylic acid and acne at PubMed.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Fades acne scars and post-inflammatory dark marks, brightens uneven skin tone, controls sebum production in oily skin, and strengthens the skin barrier — the ideal partner for salicylic acid with niacinamide and ceramides.

Ceramides Rebuild and protect the skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture and preventing the dryness or irritation that BHA exfoliants can cause. What makes this a true barrier-safe acne serum — not just an exfoliant.

Key Specifications Volume: 30 ml · For: Oily, acne-prone & sensitive skin · Use: PM only · Pairs with: 5X Ceramide Moisture Gel & SPF 50 Sunscreen

How to Use for Best Results

Start with a clean, dry face. Use your face wash first, pat dry, and wait 1 minute before applying.
Take a few drops of the serum and gently apply it to your face — or only on affected spots for targeted use.
Allow it to absorb completely before layering other products. Do not rub or wipe it off.
Follow with a moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated and balanced. The 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisture Gel is the ideal follow-up for overnight barrier repair.
Use once daily at night. For sensitive skin, start 2–3 times a week and increase gradually.
Always apply SPF 50 sunscreen the next morning — salicylic acid increases skin sensitivity to sunlight. This step is not optional.

☀️ Note: This is a PM-only serum. Skipping sunscreen while using any BHA exfoliant can worsen existing hyperpigmentation. Pair with our 2% Salicylic Acid Face Wash in the AM for a complete daily acne-control routine.

Product FAQ

1. What is the best 2% Salicylic Acid Serum for acne in India?

Koxa's 2% Salicylic Acid Serum for acne combines BHA with niacinamide and ceramides to clear pores, fade marks, and protect the skin barrier — suitable for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive Indian skin types without the over-drying effect that most acne serums cause.

2. Can I use this salicylic acid serum every day?

Yes. It is built for daily PM use. If you have sensitive skin, start with 2 to 3 times a week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts to the BHA exfoliation.

3. Is this non-comedogenic serum safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin?

Yes. The ceramides and niacinamide in this formula balance the exfoliating action of salicylic acid, keeping the skin barrier intact throughout use. Sensitive skin types should introduce it slowly over 2 to 3 weeks.

4. Can I use this serum during the day?

This is a PM-only serum. Salicylic acid increases skin sensitivity to sunlight. Always use SPF 50 sunscreen the following morning — without exception.

5. How long before I see results from this acne mark removal serum?

Active acne typically begins to calm within 1 to 2 weeks. Post-acne marks and uneven skin tone show visible improvement in 4 to 6 weeks of consistent nightly use. Results build over time with continued use.

6. Can I use this with a niacinamide moisturiser?

Yes. This serum already contains niacinamide, so it pairs naturally with niacinamide-based moisturisers without causing irritation. The 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisture Gel is the ideal follow-up product in your PM routine.
