VICHY Normaderm Salicylic Acid BHA Exfoliating Serum 1.01 oz — 1% BHA, Non-Greasy Pore-Refining

Vichy Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing salicylic acid treatment that helps clear existing blemishes, refine pores and smooth skin texture.

This 1.01 oz serum blends 1% salicylic acid (BHA) with glycolic acid (AHA), mineral-rich Vichy Volcanic Water and vitreoscilla ferment to offer a targeted exfoliating step for acne-prone skin. Its nongreasy formula absorbs quickly, making it easy to add to morning or evening routines to reduce the look of blackheads and uneven texture while helping limit the return of new blemishes. Clinically evaluated for sensitive skin types and allergy-tested, the product is developed with dermatological oversight.

How does the serum improve visible skin texture and pores?

The combination of BHA and AHA works on both the surface and inside pores. Salicylic acid penetrates oil-filled follicles to dissolve buildup, while glycolic acid helps slough off dead skin at the surface, together smoothing bumps and minimizing the appearance of pores over time.

• 1% salicylic acid (BHA) to target pore congestion
• Glycolic acid (AHA) for surface exfoliation
• Vichy Volcanic Water to support skin’s mineral balance
• Formulated to be fast-absorbing and non-greasy

When and how should I apply this acne treatment?

Use the serum after cleansing and before moisturizing. Dispense 3–4 drops, spread across the face or on targeted areas, and allow it to absorb; follow with a suitable moisturizer and sunscreen during the day.

• Apply to clean, dry skin once daily or as tolerated
• Use 3–4 drops for full-face coverage or spot treat blemishes
• Layer under moisturizer; always use SPF in daytime routines
• Start slowly if you’re new to acids to minimize irritation

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula is allergy- and dermatologically-tested and created to be gentle while still effective. However, because it contains active exfoliating acids, those with very sensitive or reactive skin should patch-test first and introduce it gradually.

• Dermatologist and allergy tested for safety
• Designed to be non-greasy and quick-absorbing
• Patch test on a small area before full-face use
• Reduce frequency if irritation or excessive dryness appears

What results can I expect and how soon?

Individual results vary, but many users notice improvements in texture and pore appearance within a few weeks, with clearer-looking skin as buildup and blackheads are addressed. Consistent use and pairing with sun protection optimize outcomes.

• Visible smoothing of skin texture with regular use
• Reduced blackheads and fewer clogged pores over time
• Works best as part of a consistent skincare routine
• Combine with moisturizer and daily SPF for healthy skin barrier support

Who is this for: Vichy Normaderm BHA Exfoliating Serum is aimed at people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want an effective, dermatologist-developed exfoliating step. It suits users looking to reduce blackheads, refine pores, and even out texture without heavy, greasy products. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist and introduce acids slowly.
