1 Gram, Virgin Argan Oil

1 Gram, Vitamin E Oil

PROCEDURE 

Step 1

In a clean bowl, take 45g of the 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Base.

Step 2

Add 3g of neem powder and mix gently until well combined. You can use a mini whisk or spatula to avoid clumps.

Step 3

Add 1g of Vitamin E oil and 1g of Virgin Argan oil to the mixture.

Step 4

Step 5

Transfer the gel into a clean, airtight container or pump bottle.

HOW TO USE:

Apply on Clean Skin:
Cleanse your face gently and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of the gel to acne-prone areas or active breakouts.

Start Slowly:
Use 2–3 times a week at first, then gradually increase frequency as your skin adapts.

Follow with Moisturiser:
Always apply a hydrating moisturiser afterward to prevent dryness or flaking.

Sun Protection & Patch Test:
Patch test before first use and apply sunscreen daily, as salicylic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
