Salicylic Acid products

It works as a chemical exfoliant that dissolves in oil, helping loosen dead skin cells and reduce clogged pores. That's why it may support a clearer, smoother look for oily or blackhead-prone skin. Results vary between people and usually need several weeks of regular use.

A cleanser touches skin for a minute then rinses off, so it's a gentle daily starting point; prices here range from 65 to 925 EGP. A leave-on serum like Derma Ten 2% stays on the skin, so it works longer but may dry more. Unsure? Ask the pharmacist about your skin type.

Cleansers are often fine once or twice daily, depending on how your skin tolerates them. With serums or exfoliating toners, start every other day or a few times a week, then increase slowly if there's no bothersome redness or peeling. Always follow the label directions.
