MKL Green Nature Salicylic Acid Sebum-Regulating Serum 30 ml

When should you use this salicylic acid serum?

MKL Green Nature Salicylic Acid Sebum-Regulating Serum contains 2% salicylic acid, an oil-soluble exfoliating acid that works on the skin’s surface and within the pores. Its minimalist formula combines salicylic acid with glycerin and is fragrance-free. It is an anti-blemish serum for combination to oily skin.

It reduces blemishes and helps unclog pores, where blackheads form.

It regulates sebum production and leaves a mattifying effect: the skin becomes less shiny with continued use.

It smooths the skin’s texture thanks to its gentle keratolytic action, which refines the skin’s surface. It should be used only in the evening, before applying moisturizer.

Salicylic acid makes the skin more sensitive to the sun. For this reason, we recommend using Uriage Bariesun Aqua Ultra-Mat SPF50+ fluid in the morning, whose matte finish prolongs the serum’s effect.

How should you apply this sebum-regulating serum in the evening?

Directions for Use

Apply 2 to 3 drops to the face in the evening only, massaging in circular motions until fully absorbed, before applying your moisturizer.

Precautions

• For external use only, in the evening. Avoid the eye and lip areas; if the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Salicylic acid increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun: apply sunscreen in the morning for the duration of use.
• Do not use this product on the same night as another exfoliant (scrub, fruit acids, chemical peel) or a retinoid; for sensitive skin, start by using it every other night.
• A tingling sensation or mild peeling may occur during the first few days; if you experience severe irritation, persistent redness, or a burning sensation, discontinue use.
• Do not use on children under 3 years of age. During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated skin, or after sunburn. Avoid use if you have a known allergy to salicylates (aspirin).
• Store away from heat and light, tightly closed, and use by the date indicated on the packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

Our Experts’ Advice on MKL Salicylic Acid Serum

A salicylic acid serum takes time to adjust to. For the first two weeks, using it every other night is enough to let your skin get used to it; then switch to nightly use if your skin tolerates it. Using more drops won’t speed up results—it will just cause irritation.

If you have numerous, deep, or painful breakouts—or ones that leave scars—you should seek medical advice and appropriate treatment. This serum is designed to address everyday skin concerns: blackheads, visible pores, and shine.

FAQ

Can the MKL Green Nature Salicylic Serum be used with a niacinamide serum?

Yes, by using them at different times: niacinamide in the morning, salicylic acid in the evening. This approach minimizes the risk of irritation while allowing you to incorporate both steps into your routine.

How long does it take for the MKL Green Nature Salicylic Serum to take effect?

The effect on shine is generally noticeable after a few weeks of regular use. It takes one skin renewal cycle—about one month—to assess the effect on skin texture.

Is the MKL Green Nature Salicylic Serum suitable for teenagers?

It may be suitable for teenagers with oily, blemish-prone skin, starting with use every other night and using sunscreen in the morning. Inflammatory or widespread acne requires a doctor’s advice.
