Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra‑Clarifying Acne Treatment Face Oil 0.5 oz — 1.5% Salicylic Acid, Fast‑Drying

U.F.O. Ultra‑Clarifying Acne Treatment Face Oil is a fast‑drying, medicated facial oil formulated with 1.5% salicylic acid to help clear pore congestion, reduce breakouts, and visibly even skin tone without a greasy finish.

This targeted face oil combines a clinically active salicylic acid concentration with botanicals that soothe and nourish. Designed for blemish‑prone and congested skin, the formula blends clarifying actives like tea tree and black cumin seed oil with brightening and calming ingredients such as hexylresorcinol, licorice, chamomile, milk thistle, and cucumber seed oil. The result is a fast‑absorbing treatment intended to address blackheads, clogged pores, and post‑blemish discoloration while supporting skin comfort.

How does this oil help clear congested pores?

The 1.5% salicylic acid in this oil penetrates oil‑filled pores to exfoliate inside the follicle and help dislodge buildup that leads to blackheads and breakouts. Complementary botanicals support visible clarity without stripping the skin. It’s formulated to act quickly and dry down so it won’t feel heavy.

• 1.5% salicylic acid to exfoliate within pores
• Tea tree and black cumin seed oil for supportive clarifying effects
• Fast‑drying oil base that absorbs without excess shine

Can this oil improve uneven skin tone and old blemish marks?

Yes—ingredients like hexylresorcinol and licorice extract target discoloration and help reduce the look of post‑acne marks over time. Regular use as part of a consistent routine can lead to a more balanced, even complexion while the soothing botanicals minimize irritation risks during treatment.

• Hexylresorcinol and licorice for brightening effects
• Chamomile and neroli to calm stressed skin
• Gentle approach suited for treating hyperpigmentation from breakouts

Will this oil dry out my skin or leave a greasy residue?

Despite being an oil, the formula is designed to dry quickly and avoid a greasy finish. Milk thistle and cucumber seed oil are included to replenish and smooth skin while counteracting potential dryness from salicylic acid, delivering hydration without heavy occlusion.

• Milk thistle and cucumber seed oil for lightweight nourishment
• Non‑greasy texture that absorbs readily
• Balanced formulation to reduce tightness or flaking

How should I incorporate U.F.O. into my skincare routine?

Use this oil as a spot treatment or all‑over targeted application on congested areas, typically after cleansing and before heavier creams. Because it contains salicylic acid, follow recommended frequency and pair with gentle hydration and sun protection during daytime use.

• Apply to clean, dry skin on problem areas or overall for congestion
• Use a small amount; allow to absorb before layering other products
• Combine with moisturizer and daily SPF when used in morning routines
