DermaClear BHA Clarifying Serum™

What it is

DermaClear BHA Clarifying Serum™ is a leave-on exfoliating treatment centred on 2% salicylic acid. The formula also includes gluconolactone, lactobionic acid, humectants, ferment, squalane, beta-glucan, panthenol and antioxidants to support a more balanced treatment profile.

Primary role

Clarifying treatment for uneven texture, congested-looking pores and dull or rough-looking skin.

Best suited to

Combination, oily or congestion-prone skin and users seeking a controlled leave-on BHA step.

Routine position

Use after cleansing and before hydration products, preferably in the evening during introduction.

Key product benefits

The formula combines exfoliation with hydration, conditioning and antioxidant support.

Clarifies pore appearance

2% salicylic acid helps support clearer-looking pores and more refined-looking skin texture.

Smooths uneven texture

Salicylic acid, gluconolactone and lactobionic acid provide complementary exfoliation and surface-renewal support.

Supports skin comfort

Squalane, sodium lactate, trehalose, panthenol, beta-glucan and aloe provide hydration and conditioning support.

How to use

Begin slowly. A 2% leave-on BHA treatment does not need to be used every day to be effective.

Evening application

1
Cleanse

Use a mild cleanser, then allow the skin to dry fully.

2
Apply a thin layer

Apply a small amount to the face or selected areas. Avoid eyelids, lips and the immediate eye contour.

3
Follow with hydration

Apply AquaLock Serum™, AquaLock HydraGel™ or another suitable non-exfoliating moisturiser if required.

4
Use sunscreen the next morning

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning during use.

Application guidance

Amount: Use only enough to form a thin, even layer.

Frequency: Start with two non-consecutive evenings per week.

Targeted use: It may be applied only to congested or rough-textured areas rather than the entire face.

Do not apply to wet skin. Applying leave-on acids to damp skin can increase penetration and may reduce tolerance.

Do not use as a spot treatment in thick layers. More product does not produce faster clarification and may increase dryness or irritation.

Gradual introduction schedule

Increase use only when the skin remains comfortable.

Weeks 1–2

Two evenings weekly

Use on two non-consecutive evenings, such as Monday and Thursday.

Weeks 3–4

Up to three evenings weekly

Increase only if there is no persistent stinging, redness, dryness or excessive flaking.

Ongoing use

Adjust to skin needs

Many users will obtain adequate cosmetic benefit without daily application.

If irritation develops: stop use until the skin returns to normal, then restart less frequently.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use DermaClear BHA Clarifying Serum™ every night?

Not initially. Begin with two non-consecutive evenings weekly and increase only when the skin remains comfortable.

Can I use it with Q‑Retinol Pro™?

Use them on different evenings during introduction. Combining them in the same routine may reduce tolerance.

Can it be used only on congested areas?

Yes. Targeted application may be appropriate when congestion or rough texture is limited to selected areas.

What should I apply afterward?

Follow with a simple hydrating product such as AquaLock Serum™ or AquaLock HydraGel™, provided the skin remains comfortable.

Can it be used in the morning?

It may be used in the morning, but evening use is simpler during introduction. Broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential either way.

What should I do if my skin starts peeling?

Stop use until the skin feels normal, simplify the routine, then restart less frequently. Persistent or significant irritation requires discontinuation.

Pair DermaClear with gentle cleansing, suitable hydration and daily sunscreen.
