BHA Clarifying Serum by Renée Rouleau uses a powerful blend of time-released Lactic, Glycolic and Salicylic Acids to clear clogged pores, lift blemish scarring and red marks, lessen oil production and reduce acne-causing bacteria--without causing irritation. Pores will be cleaner and appear less bumpy and you'll see a dramatically noticeable improvement in your skin's clarity and texture (even over other salicylic creams), with continued use. Ideal for even the most sensitive skin types. The result? Smoother, clearer and more even-toned skin with fewer visible blemishes.

Size: 0.5 fl oz

"BHA Clarifying Serum is a miracle product and I use it to keep my skin clear. I'll wake up the next morning and literally have no pores."
