Acne Control Kit

Skin Type: Combination, oily, and acne-prone skin.

Targets: Active acne, breakouts, blackheads, oiliness and skin irritation.

Suited to: Ages 16+.

Patch test recommended if you have: a known aspirin allergy — both products contain Salicylic Acid, chemically related to aspirin.

Consult your doctor before use if: you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Do not use on: open wounds, active sunburn, or broken skin.

Do not combine with: Retinol or Glycolic Acid Toner on the same night — this kit already delivers Salicylic Acid at both the cleansing and serum steps, and stacking additional exfoliating actives increases irritation risk.

STEP 1: Cleanse (Morning & Night)
Use the 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser on damp skin. Massage gently for 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.

STEP 2: Treat (Night Only)
After cleansing at night, apply 2-3 drops of the 2% Salicylic Acid Serum to dry skin. Pat until fully absorbed.

STEP 3: Moisturise (Morning & Night)
Follow with a Ceramide Moisturiser to support your barrier while these actives work. This step is easy to skip but shouldn't be — it's what makes twice-daily Salicylic Acid use sustainable without dryness.

STEP 4: Protect (Morning Only)
Apply SPF 50 Sunscreen every morning to shield skin from UVA and UVB rays. Salicylic Acid increases sun sensitivity — this step is non-negotiable.

When to Use: Cleanser twice daily, serum at night only, moisturiser twice daily, SPF every morning.

Common mistake to avoid: Starting the serum nightly from day one. Begin every other night for the first week, then progress to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance — jumping straight to nightly use is the most common cause of over-exfoliation with this kit.

Tip: Do not use this kit alongside Retinol or the Glycolic Acid Toner on the same night — you're already getting Salicylic Acid at two points in this routine, and layering more exfoliating actives increases irritation without adding benefit.

SkinFactor's Acne Control Kit is the complete two-step salicylic acid routine — the 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser and the 2% Salicylic Acid Serum paired together at a combined reduced price. Most people use either a face wash or a serum for acne. This kit uses both — at different times of day, at different depths of penetration, for comprehensive salicylic acid coverage across the full 24-hour cycle.

Why two SA products outperform one:

The Gel Cleanser — morning and evening, 60 seconds:

The 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser delivers BHA at the cleansing step. Sixty seconds of contact time before rinsing gives salicylic acid enough time to begin loosening pore blockages at thesurface and clearing the excess sebum that Pakistan's heat drives throughout the day and overnight. Used morning and evening, it provides rinse-off BHA treatment at every cleanse — keeping the skin surface clear between the serum's deeper treatment sessions.

The Serum — evening, overnight:

The 2% Salicylic Acid Serum stays on the skin. Applied in the evening after cleansing, it works for hours overnight — penetrating the pore lining and dissolving the dead cell and sebum buildup that causes blackheads, whiteheads, and recurring breakouts from the inside. Where the cleanser clears at the surface, the serum treats deeper. Together they address pore congestion at two levels and two contact times simultaneously.

The complete acne routine in one purchase:

Morning: Cleanse with the SA Gel Cleanser (60 seconds, rinse) → apply treatments → moisturiser → SPF 50.

Evening: Cleanse with the SA Gel Cleanser (60 seconds, rinse) → apply SA Serum (leave-on overnight) → ceramide moisturiser.

This routine provides salicylic acid at four contact points daily — morning cleanse, evening cleanse, and overnight serum — covering every phase of the skin's daily cycle where pore congestion develops and accumulates.

Who this kit is for:

Oily and acne-prone skin dealing with active breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, or the congested textured appearance that Pakistan's heat and humidity accelerate. Most effective for people who have tried either the cleanser or serum individually and want to experience the combined result of both in the correct routine sequence.

Results timeline:

Skin feels less congested within one to two weeks. Fewer new breakouts by weeks three to four. Significant improvement in established acne and texture by weeks six to eight with consistent daily use.
