Murad Deep Relief Acne Spot Treatment 1 fl oz — 2% Salicylic Acid, invisible patch‑like delivery

Murad Deep Relief Acne Spot Treatment is a fast-acting, patch-like liquid formula with 2% salicylic acid designed to reach and calm deep, painful breakouts for clearer-looking skin.

This concentrated, dermatologist-developed spot treatment blends maximum-strength salicylic acid with soothing botanicals and Amino Acid Technology to target the root causes of tough under-the-surface and hormonal breakouts. Its invisible, second-skin delivery sticks to the surface, prolonging actives' contact time so the formula can work longer without disturbing makeup or daily routines. Lightweight and suitable for multiple skin types, the treatment aims to reduce redness and clear breakouts while remaining simple to layer under moisturizer and sunscreen.

How does this treatment reach deep, under-the-surface acne?

The formula uses 2% salicylic acid, a lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates clogged pores to help loosen debris and support surface exfoliation. Amino Acid Technology complements the acid by targeting acne-related bacteria, and the second-skin texture helps maintain consistent ingredient contact with the lesion for extended effect.

• 2% salicylic acid for pore penetration and exfoliation
• Amino Acid Technology to address acne-causing bacteria
• Invisible, adhesive liquid that prolongs active delivery

How should I use it within my routine—morning or night?

Apply once daily to a clean, dry breakout area; the product works as an AM or PM spot treatment. If used during the day, follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect treated skin. Avoid layering other strong actives directly on top to minimize irritation.

• Use on clean, dry skin—target affected areas with a thin layer
• Once daily—AM or PM depending on your preference
• Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen for daytime use

Will this work for hormonal or painful cystic breakouts?

Designed for under-the-surface and hormonal breakouts, the concentrated salicylic acid and bacteria-targeting amino technology aim to reduce the size and redness of painful lesions. The product's adhesive delivery helps keep actives in place so they can work without constant reapplication, but responses vary by individual.

• Formulated to target painful, deep-seated pimples
• Helps reduce visible redness and promotes a calmer appearance
• Best used consistently as part of an acne-focused regimen

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin types?

The treatment is formulated to be effective across balanced, oily, combination, and dry skin types, but sensitivity to acids differs per person. Start by applying once daily to a single breakout; if irritation occurs, reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist. Pairing with a gentle, hydrating moisturizer can help maintain skin comfort.

• Appropriate for multiple skin types when used as directed
• Patch test first if you have known acid sensitivity
• Use moisturizer alongside treatment to reduce dryness
