Blue Wave is Herbivore's New Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment

Blue Wave is Herbivore Botanicals' new clinical-strength salicylic acid acne treatment with purifying, redness-reducing and soothing ingredients to boost healing and prevent new acne from forming. This treatment with maximum strength 2% salicylic acid gets its name from richly pigmented ingredients like blue tansy, an ingredient that's beneficial for calming irritation and balancing the production of oil.

This blue-hued clearing serum for consumers with acne-prone skin combines the benefits of a medicated acne serum with soothing plant-based treatments to deliver effective results and care without disrupting the skin barrier. This triple-action acne serum is a gentle one that speaks to consumers who want the benefits of soothing hydration, skin barrier support and acne clearing in one bottle without compromise.
