Skin types, how to use it, compatibility, and when you can expect results

Products & Applications

What skin types are your products suitable for?

All DERMAROOT® products are formulated for all skin types—oily skin, combination skin, normal skin, and sensitive skin. The BHA + Niacinamide Serum is particularly effective for oily skin, clogged pores, and blackheads. For very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with one application per day and gradually increasing the frequency.

How do I use the BHA + niacinamide serum correctly?

Apply the serum to clean, dry skin in the morning and evening. Gently massage in 2–3 drops and allow it to absorb completely. Then apply moisturizer. Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ during the day. During the first 1–2 weeks, your skin may go through a brief adjustment period—this is normal and a sign that the product is working.

Can I use DERMAROOT® with other skincare products?

Yes. Do not use simultaneously: Do not use BHA serum together with other acids (AHAs, retinol)—use them alternately or split their application between morning and evening. Works well in combination with: cleanser, sunscreen, moisturizer. Our recommended regimen—serum + moisturizer + liver capsules—is optimized for use together.

When can I expect to see the first results?

Most customers report visibly refined pores and reduced shine after just 7–14 days. Full results are visible after 4–6 weeks. For long-lasting results, we recommend combining this product with the liver detox capsules starting in the second month.

The Science Behind DERMAROOT® — Transparent, Vegan, and Peer-Reviewed

Science & Ingredients

Are your products vegan and not tested on animals?

Yes. All DERMAROOT® products are 100% vegan and are not tested on animals. We use only plant-based and synthetically produced ingredients that are sourced ethically and sustainably.

Why BHA (salicylic acid)—and not other acids?

Salicylic acid is the only acid that is oil-soluble and can therefore penetrate deep into the pores. Unlike AHAs, BHAs work from the inside out—they dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells directly within the pore. Combined with niacinamide, they form the most effective daily pore-care duo. Peer-reviewed study (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025): Salicylic acid + niacinamide delivers faster visible results than pore strips alone.

Does the serum also help with acne and blemishes?

Yes. Salicylic acid is one of the most extensively studied ingredients for treating acne and skin blemishes. It clears out clogged pores that cause blackheads and acne. Niacinamide reduces redness and regulates sebum production. For stubborn acne, we also recommend the liver detox capsules.
