## Description

BHA Exfoliant Serum S3 with an enhanced formulation of 5% BHAs (salicylic acid and carnitine) to stimulate cell renewal while fighting acne, blackheads and whiteheads. Chamomile and green tea extracts soothe redness and troubled skin.

## Features

- About this item     Facetheory’s leave-on liquid exfoliator has been reformulated with 5% BHAs – 2% salicylic acid and now with 3% carnitine – to target acne, dead cells, wrinkles and fine lines while hydrating and nourishing skin.     The new key active ingredient is carnitine, a beta hydroxy acid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties proven to enhance skin hydration and help control sebum production.     Free of parabens, silicones, PEGs, SLS, SLES, and mineral oils. Vegan and cruelty-free. Made in the UK.     Facetheory products contain a high concentration of actives, so only a small amount is required per use.     Use on its own or underneath your favourite moisturiser.

    Good light formulation.
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2022*

This BHA exfoliating serum from Facetheory is pleasant to apply on my combination skin. It has a good amount of BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) that is great for exfoliating the skin’s surface revealing soft, smoother, and younger looking skin.It comes in a 30ml push pump-style container that squirts out a good amount of serum each time. The serum has a lovely white colour that quickly absorbed into my skin, leaving it feeling smooth and looking dewy. It does tingle and make the skin feel warm for a few minutes though.The serum is made without all the nasties such as parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, SLSs, SLES, silicone and it’s also cruelty-free and suitable for vegans.With BHA, you’ll need to be careful not to overuse it and not to use too many exfoliating acid-based products at the same time. Too much of exfoliating acids could damage your skin barrier resulting in a variety of skin irritations such as itchy, red and inflammation, or even burns.You also don’t want to mix other actives such as retinols or antioxidants when using BHA products for the same reasons above.A good rule of thumb, it’s always wise to do a patch test before applying a new skincare on your face to see for any reactions.This serum is available on Amazon for £18.99 (at the time of writing), which is a good price to pay for a good product with  good natural ingredients.All in all, a lovely exfoliating serum that makes my skin smooth, soft and brighter. If you don’t have any problems using BHA products, then this serum is worth a try.

    Exfoliant
  

*by H***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2022*

I was quite surprised to find that this serum was a thick, white fluid rather than a typical serum consistency and it is difficult to dispense the recommended couple of drops from the bottle as the pump dispense a much larger amount per pump, no matter how much you try to take just a small quantity. The box, bottle and leaflet all guide that you should apply a couple of drops after shaking the bottle to activate (and probably mix) the contents and there are warnings in the leaflet:* Do a test application and then wait a couple of days to see if you experience an adverse reaction before continuing to use afterwards.* Avoid the sun. Your skin will be more sensitive and prone to sunburn, so you need to wear sunscreen or you could end up causing it more damage.* Don’t use this if you are allergic to aspirin* Don’t use if pregnant or under the age of 18.It is pleasing to see a leaflet inside the box with the product that contains the above warnings, although no guidance is provided about frequency of use, which I find surprising. This is an exfoliant and I am unsure if it is safe for use twice daily or if it should only be used a couple of times per week. I am choosing to use twice weekly at night before my night cream and haven’t suffered any reaction, but am mindful of the need to use a sunscreen during the day. My skin doesn’t look any different to be honest, but maybe it needs to be used more frequently.The bottle label has writing in white on a green background. It is far too small to read and needs a rethink so that it stands out if the bottle becomes separated from the box and leaflet. More guidance about frequency of use should be added to the box, bottle and leaflet as this is currently absent.

    Doesn't go with every moisturiser!
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2022*

I am a Facetheory fan due to their amazing ingredients list which (to my knowledge) does not contain anything harmful - you can check this using a cosmetic analyzer such as SkinCarisma online.Good things:- I like the formula, it is lightwieght and absorbs into the skin instantly- Good for dry and oily faces (and those in between)- Good for my semi sensitive skin- Any time I notice my skin being flaky or if I feel like there is a lot of product build-up on my face, this exfoliant does a good job of getting rid of that.Not so good things:- Does not always mix well with every moisturiser. Not sure if this is the fault of my moisturiser (also a Facetheory product called the 'Aventhra Moisturiser') or the BHA exfoliant since the exfoliant comes before the moisturiser.Overall, this product may not be for everyone (especially for the price) but Facetheory do offer free returns as well as refunds if a product is not up to your liking within the first 30 days after purchase. It might be worth a shot for those who don't mind the price.
