Oriva Scientific Assessment

The 2% Salicylic Acid deeply penetrates pores to dissolve oil and dead skin cells, preventing and treating breakouts. Zinc PCA helps regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation, while prebiotics (Inulin, Fructose) support a healthy skin barrier.

Target User: Individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin looking to address breakouts, blackheads, excess oil, and clogged pores.

Avoid If: Those with very dry, sensitive, or compromised skin, or individuals with a known allergy to salicylates. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor.

Avoid / caution

  • Very dry or sensitive skin
  • Individuals with salicylate allergy
