Dr.Leo Salicylic Acid Acne Spot Treatment 1.8% – 0.34 fl oz, Niacinamide Fast Pimple Relief for Sensitive Skin

Dr.Leo 1.8% Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment is a targeted drying lotion that reduces active pimples and helps fade marks using a 1.8% salicylic acid formula combined with niacinamide in a 0.34 fl oz portable bottle.

This lightweight, water-based spot serum is formulated for acne-prone, sensitive skin that needs precise, fast-acting care. The product layers separate inside the bottle — a powder and liquid — which allows you to apply a concentrated dose directly to individual blemishes using the included cotton applicators. The non-sticky, non-comedogenic texture is designed for short-term spot use, overnight application or quick touch-ups during flare-ups like period-related breakouts.

How does this spot treatment work on sudden pimples?

The 1.8% salicylic acid penetrates pores to exfoliate inside the follicle and reduce the size and redness of pimples, while niacinamide soothes and supports skin tone. Applied as a thick coat to active blemishes, it creates a drying environment that helps pimples calm faster than untreated skin.

• Contains 1.8% salicylic acid to exfoliate pore-clogging debris
• Niacinamide helps minimize redness and supports fading of marks
• Easy cotton-swab application for direct, targeted treatment
• Overnight or one-hour applications depending on sensitivity

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is dermatologically tested and water-based for a lightweight, non-comedogenic finish that’s meant to minimize irritation. Start with shorter contact (one hour) to assess tolerance before overnight use, and avoid surrounding healthy skin when applying.

• Dermatologically tested for compatibility with sensitive skin
• Non-comedogenic, non-sticky water-based texture
• Spot-only use reduces risk of widespread dryness
• Includes single-use cotton applicators to limit contamination

How do I apply the product correctly?

Do not shake the bottle; allow the layers to separate until the top turns yellow-green. Dip the supplied cotton swab into the powder layer, coat the blemish with a thick layer, and leave for at least one hour or overnight, then rinse. If the bottle is accidentally mixed, let it settle again before use.

• Do not shake — wait for the two layers to separate
• Use the provided cotton swabs for precise application
• Leave on 1 hour or overnight, then rinse off with water
• Portable 0.34 fl oz bottle for travel and emergency touch-ups

What results can I expect and when?

Many users see quicker reduction in visible inflammation and size of individual pimples within 24 hours, while repeated spot use can help fade post-acne marks over time. Results vary by skin type and how consistently the treatment is applied as part of an overall skincare routine.

• Fast-acting relief for active pimples, often within 24 hours
• Supports gradual fading of acne marks with repeated use
• Best used as part of a short-term spot-treatment regimen
• Works across occasional, hormonal, and stress-related breakouts
