Take Control Salicylic + 10% Azelaic Acid Clarifying Serum

Description

Three Ships Take Control Salicylic + 10% Azelaic Acid Clarifying Serum is a daily exfoliating treatment designed for blemish-prone and uneven-looking skin. The lightweight formula helps refine the feel and appearance of skin while providing a targeted approach to buildup, texture, and the look of post-blemish discoloration. Skin is left feeling smoother, fresher, and more balanced.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate and refine the appearance of pores, while 10% azelaic acid helps improve the look of uneven tone and discoloration. Rapeseed seed oil and Japanese indigo leaf extract complement the formula with conditioning botanical care, leaving skin feeling comfortable, smooth, and refreshed.

HOW TO USE IT

Shake well before each use. Apply 1–2 pumps to clean skin in the morning and evening, gently smoothing over the face until absorbed. During daytime use, apply SPF before sun exposure.
