This treatment suits oily, combination, and acne-prone skin seeking pore clarification and breakout control. Sensitive skin may need a patch test; pregnant clients should consult their physician. A pre-treatment consultation at J Madison Spa ensures safe, tailored care.

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that dissolves oil and dead skin inside the pore, reducing congestion and preventing breakouts. In this facial it's used at controlled concentrations for safe exfoliation while preserving moisture and calming irritated areas.

The treatment reduces excess oil without over-drying by combining salicylic exfoliation with hydrating steps. Mild flaking may occur in the days after exfoliation; we provide post-care guidance and recommend gentle moisturizers and SPF to support barrier recovery and sustained comfort.

For active breakouts, schedule treatments every 3-4 weeks until improvement. For maintenance and oil control, 4-8 week intervals are typical depending on skin response. Your esthetician will customize frequency during the consultation to match goals and lifestyle.

Common, mild effects include temporary redness, sensitivity, and light peeling as dead cells slough away. Serious reactions are rare; we perform skin assessments and patch tests when needed. Follow provided aftercare and avoid strong actives for several days to minimize irritation.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, rich hydration, and daily broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and heavy makeup for 48-72 hours. Drink water, follow any product recommendations from your esthetician, and schedule follow-up treatments to maintain pore clarity and prevent future breakouts.
