Effisal-SA is a fragrance-free acne control serum with 2% Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Retinyl that works overnight to unclog pores, target acne-causing bacteria, accelerate cell turnover, and refine skin texture for visibly clearer, smoother skin.

Know Your Skin Care

What makes Effisal-SA more powerful than the Effisal face wash?

Effisal-SA is a leave-on treatment with 2% Salicylic Acid + Mandelic Acid + Glycolic Acid + Retinyl - providing continuous pore-clearing and cell-renewal overnight. Unlike the face wash (brief contact), the serum maintains prolonged active-to-skin contact. Mandelic Acid directly targets acne-causing bacteria; Retinyl promotes skin renewal.

How often should I use Effisal-SA?

Once daily in the evening on clean, dry skin. Beginners: start every-other-day for 1-2 weeks to build tolerance. Always follow with Atopycera Barrier Repair Moisturizer. Use Curasol-M Matte Sunscreen SPF 50 the following morning.

Can Effisal-SA treat acne scars and post-acne hyperpigmentation?

Yes. Mandelic Acid has demonstrated efficacy reducing acne marks and PIH in addition to its antibacterial action. Glycolic Acid accelerates surface cell turnover. Retinyl supports overall texture improvement. Combine with Ecladore-K Dark Spot Corrector on specific spots for targeted brightening.

How long does Effisal-SA take to clear breakouts?

Visible reduction in active breakouts begins within 2-4 weeks. Significant clearing of persistent acne and clogged pores over 6-12 weeks. Customers confirm 'reduced acne and improved overall skin texture' with consistent use. Post-acne PIH takes an additional 8-16 weeks to fade.

What should I apply after Effisal-SA to avoid over-drying?

Apply Atopycera Barrier Repair Moisturizer (5 Ceramides + Hyaluronic Acid) immediately after Effisal-SA absorbs. The multi-acid formula gradually depletes the ceramide barrier with daily use - a ceramide-based moisturizer replenishes what the acids break down.

What are the full ingredients in Effisal-SA Acne Control Serum?

    Happy with how it feels. The serum spreads evenly, so I don't need to keep adding more.
