Hello beauties! How are you all? I hope you all are doing great. We all face the issue of small/big pimples or blackheads, and some of us also have acne-prone skin. So, we continuously look for products which can help in reducing that. Today, I will review NEEM & BHA SPOT CLARIFYING SERUM.
BRAND CLAIMS
When bacteria, debris, sebum, and dead skin cells mix together, they create a dangerous cocktail : Clogged pores. With our weather conditions, Indian skin is more likely to suffer from acne and clogged pores and blackheads We’ve formulated our Neem & BHA Spot Clarifying Serum with 2% Salicylic acid and anti-bacterial Neem oil (holy grail ingredients for those with oily, acne-prone skin). Salicylic acid, a B.H.A. (Beta Hydroxy Acid) is oil-soluble acid, which goes deep in your pores and dissolves the oil and dirt trapped in your pores and helps you get the clear skin of your dreams.

HOW TO USE
- As a mask: With clean hands, rub a few pumps of the clarifying serum on your palms till the neem and tea tree oil pearls burst and activate. Apply an even layer of the gel on your face. Leave it on for 5-10 mins. Wash off with a mild cleanser. We can do this 2-3 times a week. .
- As a spot treatment overnight : Whenever you spot a pesky pimple or blackhead appearing unwantedly on your skin, apply a bit of the serum on it. Leave overnight and wash off the next morning!
- Derm tip: It can also be mixed with Our Basic Brightening Extra Gentle Daily Peel peel for a deeper exfoliation or our Rosehip and Retinoid Power Emulsion for a more targeted approach to zap away acne. And don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen! ALL BHAs make Indian skin more susceptible to UV and pollution, and we must be sure to apply a generous layer of SPF to keep our skin protected.
MY TAKE ON THIS
I was very excited when Dr. Sheth’s sent me this amazing formulation with the goodness of neem and BHA. Now we all know that how beautifully BHA works for acne and blackheads. I don’t have acne prone skin, but I get 1-2 pimples sometimes, so I needed a spot treatment to tackle those. This serum has a gel like texture with neem and tea tree oil pearls in it, these pearls burst when we rub the serum between fingers.
I have used it on a big pimple and it was reduced 50% on the first day and in three days it was all gone. It works like a charm on small zits. I have also tried it as a 5 min mask, skin definitely feels clean after that. If you have congested pores or blackheads/whiteheads, use this as a 5-10 minute mask. But I love it as an overnight spot treatment. In case we are using any treatment/active sunscreen is the most important thing, never skip your sunscreen.
