Cos De BAHA Salicylic Acid BHA 4% Serum (S4)

Cos De BAHA Salicylic Acid BHA 4% Serum is a targeted skincare treatment formulated to address common skin concerns such as acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and oily skin. It contains 4% Salicylic Acid (BHA), a beta hydroxy acid renowned for its exfoliating and deep-cleansing properties. The serum is designed to penetrate pores, dissolve excess sebum, and remove dead skin cells, promoting clearer, smoother skin.

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (4%): A beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates within pores, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent acne formation.
• Additional soothing agents (if included, such as glycerin or botanical extracts) to minimize irritation.

Mechanism of Action:

• Exfoliation: Salicylic acid penetrates the pore lining, dissolving keratin plugs and dead skin cells.
• Sebum Regulation: Reduces excess oil production, decreasing the likelihood of pore blockage.
• Anti-inflammatory: Helps soothe inflamed skin, reducing redness and swelling associated with acne.
• Deep Cleansing: Cleanses pores from within, preventing future breakouts.

Uses:

• Acne Treatment: Helps reduce active breakouts by unclogging pores and controlling oil.
• Blackhead & Whitehead Prevention: Dissolves debris within pores to prevent formation.
• Oil Control: Suitable for oily and combination skin types.
• Skin Texture Improvement: Promotes smoother skin by removing dead skin cells.
• Preventing Future Breakouts: Regular use can help maintain clearer skin.

Application Process:

1. Cleansing:
   Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove surface dirt, oil, and makeup. Pat dry thoroughly.
2. Toning (Optional):
   Apply a toner suitable for your skin type to prepare the skin for better absorption of the serum.
3. Serum Application:
   • Dispense a small amount of the Salicylic Acid BHA 4% Serum onto your fingertips or a cotton pad.
   • Gently apply to affected areas, focusing on active breakout zones, blackheads, or areas with excess oil.
   • Avoid contact with the delicate skin around the eyes.
4. Absorption & Drying:
   • Allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin, which usually takes a few minutes.
   • Do not rinse off; let the product work on your skin.
5. Follow-up Moisturizer:
   • Apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate skin and reduce potential dryness or irritation caused by BHA.
6. Sun Protection:
   • During the day, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect skin from UV sensitivity caused by exfoliation.

Additional Tips:

• Start with patch testing to check for sensitivity.
• Use the serum 2-3 times a week initially, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Avoid using concurrently with other strong acids, retinoids, or exfoliants to minimize irritation.
• Consistency is key for visible results.

Safety & Precautions:

• Salicylic acid may cause dryness or irritation, especially for sensitive skin.
• Avoid use on broken, irritated, or severely inflamed skin.
• Discontinue use if excessive redness, peeling, or discomfort occurs.
• Consult a dermatologist if uncertain about compatibility with your skin type or if you have underlying skin conditions.
