Adults and children 12 years and older: Apply light coating twice daily after thorough cleansing to the affected face, neckline and chest or as recommended by your skincare specialist. Avoid eyelids and brows. Follow with ēcōMD Synergistic Botanical AHA/BHA Lotion and Clean Natural Daily Solar Defence SPF 30 Cream. For new users, apply to a small area once a day for three days to test sensitivity. If no discomfort occurs, cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. Start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

Featured ingredients

Black willow bark extract – a natural form of salicylic acid 

• Exfoliates corneocytes without irritation, helping repair acne and photodamage through anti-inflammation. 
• Dissolves sebum in sebaceous glands, removing blockages and comedones. 
• Has smoother penetrating action than synthetic salicylic acid. 

Bakuchiol 

• Helps regulate sebum production and stabilize skin lipids by impeding lipid oxidation and photodegradation that can cause comedone formation. 
• Reduces overpopulation of bacteria. 
• Reduces redness and inflammation. 
• Helps correct hyperkeratinization. 
• Is a highly effective broad-spectrum antioxidant. 

Synergistic salicylic acid 2% (medicinal ingredient) and bakuchiol 1% combination

In a clinical study on papulopustular-type acne vulgaris (ages 16 to 30), twice-daily applications with salicylic acid and bakuchiol showed a significantly more powerful antibacterial effect than when using each ingredient independently. 

• This combination helps unclog pores, reduce erythema, inflammation and pruritis, and prevent congestion and breakouts. Helps keep skin clear. 
• Helps to correct hyperkeratinization and reduction in microcomedones (after two, four and six weeks).
