Dot & Key 2% Salicylic Acid + Cica Anti Acne Serum with Zinc | Salicylic Acid Serum for Acne and Dark Spots | Serum for Oily Acne Prone Skin & Sensitive Skin | Oil-Free & Non Comedogenic | 20 ml

Who it's for

Choose this salicylic acid face serum for oily, acne-prone skin and for routines that need a lighter, fragrance-free layer. The formula is positioned for sensitive skin too, with a dye-free, oil-free, silicone-free, non-comedogenic profile that suits facial use when added scent and heavier skincare are not a good match.

When you'd use it

Use this acne serum after cleansing when clogged pores, blackheads, excess oil, redness, or post-acne marks are the main concern. Directions call for 3-4 drops, patted in until absorbed, then moisturiser and sunscreen, and the routine guidance supports using the serum in both morning and evening skincare. One reviewer also noted reduced oiliness after a few uses and no burning on inflamed acne.

What's inside

Look beyond salicylic acid if ingredient balance matters. The formula pairs salicylic acid with cica water and centella extract, niacinamide, zinc PCA, glycerine, sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, ceramide mix, witch hazel, and mugwort extract, so the ingredient list brings together exfoliating, oil-control, and skin-conditioning components in one face serum.

What buyers say

Expect the finish to feel light rather than creamy. Review feedback most often praises the lightweight feel and quick absorption, and repeat buyers describe the serum as easy to keep in a regular skincare routine. Texture and performance are not universal, though: some shoppers call the serum silky and smooth, while others find it watery or slightly sticky, and a few say results were limited.

Good to know

Patch-test before first use if your skin reacts easily. Safety guidance recommends checking the ingredient label for allergy concerns, and customer feedback suggests visible change can build with consistent use over time rather than after a few applications. The bottle contains 20 ml, which works well for trying the formula without moving straight to a larger size.
