NeoGenesis Salicylic Acid Gel is a lightweight, water-based acne treatment gel that uses 2% salicylic acid to penetrate pores, dissolve buildup, and reduce active breakouts without stripping or over-drying the skin. Rather than relying on harsh formulations that leave skin tight and flaky, this gel pairs its clarifying power with lactic acid to support gentle exfoliation and maintain moisture balance, so skin stays comfortable even during daily use.

Key Benefits

Clears Clogged Pores and Active Breakouts 2% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), works inside the pore lining to dissolve excess sebum and dead cell buildup that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed blemishes.

Reduces Excess Oil Without Over-Drying The water-based gel formula helps regulate sebum production so skin feels balanced and matte, not tight or dehydrated.

Smooths Texture and Brightens Tone Lactic acid provides gentle surface exfoliation that refines rough texture and helps fade post-breakout marks for a more even-looking complexion.

Supports Skin Barrier Integrity Propanediol acts as a hydrating solvent that helps deliver actives effectively while keeping the skin's protective barrier intact, reducing the irritation often associated with acne treatments.

Gentle Enough for Daily Use Formulated without fragrance or parabens, this gel is designed to be layered into your routine without disrupting the skin's acid mantle, even for those with sensitivity alongside breakouts.

If your skin is oily or congestion-prone and you deal with recurring blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed breakouts, this gel was made for you. The 2% salicylic acid concentration is strong enough to clear active blemishes and keep pores clean, while the supporting ingredients prevent the dryness and irritation that come with many acne treatments.

This is also a smart choice if your skin is sensitive but still acne-prone. The fragrance-free, paraben-free formula works with your skin's natural barrier rather than against it, making it suitable for daily use or as a targeted spot treatment.

Ideal for anyone looking for a salicylic acid gel that clarifies and refines skin texture without sacrificing hydration or comfort.

If you tend to get breakouts along the jawline or chin, use the airless pump to dispense a small amount and press it directly onto those areas as a targeted spot treatment before applying your moisturizer, rather than spreading it across your entire face. This concentrates the 2% salicylic acid exactly where congestion builds up without unnecessarily exposing the rest of your skin to active exfoliation.

Apply: After cleansing and toning, dispense 1 pump and smooth a thin layer over the face, neck, and chest. Can also be used as a spot treatment directly on individual blemishes.

Frequency: Start with once-daily application, preferably in the evening. Gradually increase to twice daily if your skin tolerates it well and breakouts require additional control.

Follow Up: Layer a moisturizer over the gel to lock in hydration. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF, as salicylic acid and lactic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
