The Acne Set

Product Overview

Take control of breakouts with a clinically proven, simplified system. The Ordinary Acne Set is a targeted 3-step regimen specifically designed to treat active acne, prevent future blemishes, and allow the skin to heal. By combining a non-stripping cleanser, a powerful BHA treatment, and a lightweight gel moisturizer, this set addresses the core causes of acne—clogged pores and excess oil—without compromising the skin's moisture barrier. Ideal for both teens and adults, this set provides everything needed for a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

What’s Inside the Set

• Glucoside Foaming Cleanser (50ml): A gentle, gel-like cleanser that effectively removes environmental impurities and dirt while respecting the most delicate skin.
• Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (30ml): A water-based exfoliating serum that encourages the shedding of dead skin cells and deep-cleanses pores to treat and prevent acne.
• Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan (30ml): A lightweight gel moisturizer that provides all-day hydration and strengthens the skin barrier with ceramides and beta glucan.

Key Benefits

• Targeted Acne Treatment: Specifically formulated to clear up active blemishes and blackheads.
• Pore Decongestion: Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores to dissolve the "glue" that causes clogs.
• Gentle Cleansing: The Glucoside cleanser improves skin clarity and suppleness without the "tight" feeling of traditional acne soaps.
• Invisible Hydration: The Beta Glucan gel moisturizer provides intense moisture without a greasy or heavy feel—perfect for oily skin.
• Barrier Support: Infused with Ceramides to help the skin stay resilient during acne treatments.
• Refines Skin Texture: Smooths out rough patches and promotes natural skin renewal.
• Reduces Redness: Calming ingredients help soothe the look of inflammation associated with breakouts.
• Suitable for Teens & Adults: Formulated for all ages struggling with acne-prone skin.
• Improves Radiance: Regular use reveals a more luminous and even-toned complexion.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Pure, clinical ingredients with ethical standards.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): A lipophilic (oil-soluble) acid that can travel into the oily environment of the pore to exfoliate from the inside out, effectively treating acne at the source.
• Beta Glucan: A powerful humectant derived from oats or mushrooms that provides deep hydration and is known for its skin-soothing properties.
• Glucosides: Mild surfactants that provide a foaming action while being exceptionally gentle, making them safe even for the most sensitive skin types.

How to Use (The Acne Regimen)

1. Prep (AM/PM): Cleanse your face with Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. Massage onto wet skin and rinse thoroughly.
2. Treat (AM/PM): Apply a few drops of Salicylic Acid 2% Solution to the entire face or as a spot treatment on active breakouts.
3. Seal (AM/PM): Apply a small amount of Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
4. Sun Care: In the morning, always follow with a sunscreen, as BHA can increase sun sensitivity.

Who is it for?

• The Routine Minimalist: Anyone looking for a complete, expert-curated solution in one box.

FAQ

Q: Will my skin "purge" when I start using this?
A: Some users may experience a temporary increase in blemishes as the Salicylic Acid clears out deep-seated congestion. This usually resolves within 2–4 weeks.

Q: Can I use this with Niacinamide?
A: Yes! Niacinamide is a great addition to this routine for further oil control. Apply Niacinamide after the Salicylic Acid and before the moisturizer.

Q: Is the moisturizer heavy?
A: No. The NMF + Beta Glucan is a clear gel specifically formulated to feel weightless, making it perfect for skin that is prone to shine.

Q: Is it safe to use twice a day?
A: Yes. However, if your skin feels too dry or sensitive, reduce the Salicylic Acid application to once a day (PM) until your skin adjusts.
