WHAT IT IS: Origins' acne treatment gel with 1.5% Salicylic Acid for on-the-spot, targeted treatment––wherever you go. WHAT IT DOES: The blemish-fighting formula penetrates pores to help clear them of debris, helps fight acne blemishes including blackheads, and helps prevent new acne from forming by absorbing the excess oils that can lead to blemishes. HOW TO USE: Try this when you have acne: Cleanse skin thoroughly. Apply a thin layer 1-3 times daily or as needed. If drying or peeling occurs, reduce use to once a day.
