Description

SOS SKIN Exfoliating Serum is a multi-purpose, highly concentrated formula with 2% salicylic acid (BHA) that significantly improves the appearance of acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, comedones, and imperfections.

This serum effectively reduces the appearance of pimples, blemishes, and unevenness, delivering a fresh and even complexion.

Salicylic acid (BHA) is a clinically tested active ingredient renowned for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating properties. It works deep within the pores, effectively removing accumulated sebum, cleansing pores, and visibly reducing their size.

It also prevents the formation of imperfections such as pimples, blackheads, comedones, and acne. By reducing hyperpigmentation, it provides an anti-aging effect.

In addition to being highly effective for oily and combination skin prone to inflammation and irritation, salicylic acid may also benefit skin with rosacea. SOS SKIN Serum is formulated at an optimal pH range of 3.6, critical for maximizing BHA efficacy, as it performs best within a pH range of 3 to 4. Outside this range, salicylic acid’s activity may be diminished, leading to less satisfactory results.

To enhance the formula’s efficacy, bisabolol, a natural ingredient from chamomile essential oil, has been added. Bisabolol provides soothing, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory effects, reducing redness and irritation while further improving skin care.

Witch hazel extract, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties, also contributes to reducing redness and soothing the skin, making it healthier and more balanced.

What our customers say

Reviews from our customers bring honest experiences and real results of using Aprive cosmetics.

Great product. I use it as soon as I see a pimple forming or my pores filling up, or if I see small pimples (e.g. on my forehead or around my nose). It helps within a day or two. I am very happy with the serum. It smells wonderful.

Review of SOS Skin serum
Nikolina P.

Perfect product! I've been using it for a while now and the effect is great. A very good exfoliant, non-aggressive but very effective; the skin of the face gets that healthy glow that I always aim for when it comes to products with BHA (and I've used quite a few of them, but I never found the balance I wanted: either they would have little to no effect or they would be too aggressive with a bunch of unnecessary ingredients). If you're looking for something that will make your skin smoother, purified, firmer and fresher, I definitely recommend SOS Skin to people with combination skin like mine, you'll be thrilled 🙂.

Review of SOS Skin serum
Sandra

I originally ordered SOS Skin for my 16-year-old son, who has pubescent acne, and his face is much better after just a few days of use, it really works. But I used SOS Skin for something else and I'm thrilled with how it works. So, for years (over 20 years), I've had a problem with the skin on my forearms, especially in the summer, because of pimples that break out on my arms in two cases: 1. in the summer when I'm wearing short sleeves and when I lean my bare hands on a table, chair backs, etc., so I scratch with my nails and they immediately start breaking out; 2. even in the winter if I wear clothes that aren't cotton, which means sweat. The diagnosis is folliculitis, which means that due to sweat and/or scratching, dirt gets under the skin, the hair follicle becomes inflamed, and it looks like a red pimple. There's nothing I haven't tried, so I would buy anything from the pharmacy that they offered me, but nothing has ever worked particularly well. I recently had laser hair removal on my arms, which requires shaving my entire arms beforehand. The result the next day = dozens of red pimples (the razor lifts a small layer of skin and there you have it, inflammation). I also started applying SOS Skin every night after showering and after just two days the redness started to decrease and the pimples disappeared. The next laser treatment, shaving again, but this time I immediately applied SOS Skin and nothing, the next day I had laser treatment, not a single new pimple has appeared and it's been 10 days since the laser, my skin is great, there's nothing. This is a discovery for me, and I'm sure there are more people with this problem, so here it is, I hope it will help others.
