## Description

An acne clearing serum that goes hard on acne without wrecking your skin's moisture barrier? We made that. New Thayers Double Action Acne Serum is the ultimate powerhouse for tackling acne while still showing some serious love to your skin. We packed this serum with a maximum OTC strength 2% salicylic acid that penetrates deep into your pores, clearing acne in just 1 week. Clear acne, heal skin, fade post-acne marks, based on a self evaluation of 74 participants after immediate use, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks (2023). Our turbo-charged trio of 3% lactic acid, 4% niacinamide, and azelaic acid smooths out rough texture and has been clinically tested to help fade post-acne marks like a pro. Our silky, lightning-fast absorbing formula is enhanced with the natural magic of our homegrown, alcohol-free witch hazel and the famous humectant hyaluronic acid. Not only does it maintain your skin's moisture barrier, but it also provides a soothing and calming sensation. Thayers is dermatologist tested for safety and backed by science to level up your skin—for real results. For generations, Thayers has been the go-to choice in medicine cabinets, but don't take our word for it—experience the skin transformation for yourself.

Review: Effective acne treatment that respects your skin barrier—no stinging or peeling! - Texture and Application Unlike many 2% Salicylic Acid treatments that feel sticky or overly drying, the Thayers Double Action Serum has a lightweight, almost watery consistency. It absorbs into the skin within seconds, leaving no tacky residue behind. This makes it an excellent base for moisturizer or makeup, as it doesn't "pill" throughout the day. Formula and Results The "Double Action" name comes from the clever pairing of 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) and Niacinamide. Acne Clearing: Within three days of use, I noticed a significant reduction in the size and redness of active whiteheads. The BHA does a great job of deep-cleaning pores. Scar Fading: The Niacinamide is the hero for post-acne marks. It helps even out skin tone and prevents that lingering dark spot after a blemish heals. Soothing: Despite being an "acid" serum, it feels incredibly soothing thanks to the signature Thayers witch hazel and aloe vera. I experienced zero "purging" or the tight, flaky skin often associated with acne products. Pros: Non-Stripping: Does not contain drying alcohols, making it safe for sensitive or combination skin. Fragrance-Free: Great for those who find scented skincare irritating. Efficient Packaging: The dropper bottle allows for precise application, so a little bit of product goes a long way. Niacinamide Boost: Helps control excess oil production and refines pore appearance. Cons: Patience Required: While active bumps shrink fast, the fading of dark spots (from the Niacinamide) takes consistent use over 2–4 weeks to see a major difference. Sun Sensitivity: Like all BHA products, you must wear sunscreen during the day while using this. Final Verdict If you have struggled with "harsh" acne treatments in the past, the Thayers Double Action Serum is a fantastic alternative. It manages to be tough on breakouts while remaining very gentle on the skin's moisture barrier. It’s a reliable, affordable staple for anyone dealing with adult acne or occasional congestion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast-drying, gentle, and highly effective
*by T***A on December 18, 2025*

We love this product! I have a teenage daughter who uses it and absolutely raves about it. We use the entire line, including the facial cleanser, toner, and more. The products are lightweight, fast-drying, and don’t leave any residue. We’ve noticed a drastic difference by morning, especially with reduced redness. Everything about these products has been great—effective, gentle, and high quality. Highly recommend!
