DERMA E Acne Blemish Facial Serum, 2 fl oz

DERMA E Acne Blemish Facial Serum is packaged as Acne Blemish Control Treatment Serum, a topical acne treatment with 1.9% salicylic acid. The 2 fl oz / 60 mL formula also includes niacinamide, witch hazel, willow bark extract and tea tree oil.

1.9% salicylic acid for acne care

The matching Drug Facts label identifies salicylic acid 1.9% as the active ingredient for acne treatment. Labeled uses include treating acne and helping keep skin clear of new acne, acne blemishes, acne pimples and blackheads.

This is a treatment serum rather than the separate Acne Oil-Control Matte Moisturizer. Use its own directions when planning your routine, especially if you already use another topical acne medication.

Shake well and start with once-daily use

Shake well. Clean the skin thoroughly before applying, then cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. The label allows one to three applications daily, but directs starting with one application daily because excessive drying may occur.

Gradually increase to two or three times daily only if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce use to once a day or every other day. Follow your current package's Drug Facts directions.

Warnings for your acne-care routine

For external use only. Skin irritation and dryness are more likely if another topical acne medication is used at the same time. If irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medication at a time.

Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
