Is Take Control™ suitable for oily and combination skin?
Yes. Take Control™ is formulated for oily and combination skin and is ideal for people looking to support a clearer-looking complexion, clogged pores, and excess oil.
Can I use Take Control™ every day?
Yes. The formula is dermatologist-tested and designed for daily morning and evening use. If you're new to exfoliating acids, begin by using it a few times per week before increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.
Can I use Take Control™ as a spot treatment?
Yes. While Take Control™ is designed as a daily facial serum, it can also be applied directly to pesky areas.
Does Take Control™ help with post-acne marks?

Can I use salicylic acid and azelaic acid together?
Yes. Take Control™ combines 1% Salicylic Acid and 10% Azelaic Acid in a single dermatologist-tested formula designed for daily use. Together, these ingredients help unclog pores, visibly reduce the appearance of post-acne marks, reduce excess oil, and promote a smoother-looking complexion. If you're new to exfoliating acids, start with a few applications per week before increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.
Will this dry out my skin?
Take Control™ pairs exfoliating ingredients with Rapeseed Seed Oil and Japanese Indigo Leaf Extract to help support the skin barrier and keep skin feeling comfortable during daily use.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on your skin concerns and routine. With consistent use, improvements in the appearance of clearer looking skin, clogged pores, skin texture, and post-acne marks may become more noticeable over time.
