Salicylic Acid

Korean salicylic acid skincare, available in Sri Lanka at ORION XO. All products are 100% original and imported directly from Korea.

Salicylic acid is the one exfoliant that dissolves in oil, which means it gets inside the pore rather than working only on the surface. That makes it the standard ingredient for blackheads, whiteheads, congestion and mild acne. Korean formulas pair it with soothing ingredients at concentrations built for regular use.

Salicylic acid serum, toner or cream: which should you buy?

  • Serum: the strongest daily step. Choose this for blackheads, bumpy texture and frequent breakouts.
  • Toner: a gentler, all-over option for oily skin and large pores. Good for beginners.
  • Cream: keeps oil in check while it moisturises. Ideal if your skin gets shiny by midday.
  • Combination skin: use the serum on the T-zone only and a hydrating moisturiser elsewhere.

Salicylic acid works well with niacinamide for pores and marks. Use sunscreen every morning, as exfoliated skin burns more easily.
