VICHY Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum — 1% Salicylic + 4% Glycolic, Fast-Absorbing Acne Treatment 1.01 fl oz

VICHY Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing acne treatment that exfoliates pores with salicylic and glycolic acids to improve skin texture and reduce blackheads.

Designed for oily and acne-prone skin, this concentrated serum blends 1% salicylic acid (BHA) with 4% glycolic acid (AHA), plus Vichy Volcanic Water and vitreoscilla ferment to renew the skin’s surface. Its non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under moisturizers and daily skin-care routines. Clinically tested for dermatological and allergy safety, the serum aims to visibly refine pores and help manage blemishes without heavy residue.

How does this serum help reduce blackheads and clogged pores?

The serum uses salicylic acid to penetrate oily pores and loosen the bond between dead skin cells, helping to clear buildup that leads to blackheads. Glycolic acid supports surface renewal to smooth texture and promote a more even-looking complexion. Together they work on both pore congestion and surface roughness for clearer-feeling skin.

• 1% salicylic acid (BHA) to target oil and pore buildup
• 4% glycolic acid (AHA) for surface exfoliation and smoother skin
• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture for easy layering

How should I use VICHY Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum in my routine?

Apply 3–4 drops to clean, dry skin once daily or as tolerated, then follow with your regular moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. Start slowly if you are new to chemical exfoliants, using every other day and increasing frequency as your skin adapts. Avoid mixing with strong topical retinoids or other high-concentration acids without guidance.

• After cleansing, dispense 3–4 drops and smooth over face
• Follow with moisturizer and SPF during daytime use
• Patch-test and introduce gradually if you have sensitive skin

Is this serum safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula has been tested for dermatological and allergy safety and is designed to be tolerated by many sensitive, acne-prone skin types. Because it contains active acids, gentle introduction and monitoring for irritation are recommended. If redness or excessive dryness occurs, reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist.

• Dermatologist- and allergy-tested for safety
• Mineral-rich Vichy Volcanic Water to support skin comfort
• Introduce slowly if you have reactive skin

What visible changes can I expect and when?

With regular use, many users notice improved skin texture, fewer visible blackheads, and a refined pore appearance. Results depend on individual skin condition and adherence to application; visible smoothing typically occurs over several weeks. Maintain consistent routine and sun protection to help sustain improvements.

• Smoother skin texture after consistent use
• Reduction in visible blackheads and pore congestion over weeks
• Best results when combined with moisturizer and daily SPF

Who is this for: VICHY Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum is intended for individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin seeking a targeted chemical exfoliant to manage blackheads, refine pores, and improve overall skin texture. It suits users who prefer a lightweight, fast-absorbing treatment that layers easily under moisturizers. If you have very dry or highly reactive skin, consider consulting a dermatologist before integrating active acids into your routine.
