EL TESSA Acne Clear Kit - 3-Step Acne Routine

• Three steps in one box: a salicylic face wash, a 2% salicylic acid serum and an oil-free moisturizer.
• Cleanse the oil, treat the pore, put the moisture back: the order that keeps acne treatment from drying skin out.
• Less oil in week 1 to 2; fewer new breakouts by week 4 to 6; visible improvement by week 8 to 12.
• Costs less than buying the three separately.
• Made for oily and combination skin; not for severe cystic acne.

1. EL TESSA Salicylic Face Wash (100ml) — a BHA cleanser that clears oil and buildup from inside the pore. Step 1: clean.
2. EL TESSA Acne Control Serum — 2% Salicylic Acid (30ml) — the treatment step. 2% BHA works inside the pore where breakouts actually start. Step 2: treat.
3. EL TESSA Oil-Free Moisturizer — Matte (50ml) — the step almost everyone skips. Acne treatments dry the skin; dry skin makes more oil; more oil means more breakouts. This breaks the cycle without adding shine. Step 3: hydrate.

Most people in Pakistan buy one acne product, use it for a week, get dry flaky skin, and stop. Acne is not fixed by one bottle — it is fixed by doing three simple things consistently. Cleanse the oil out, treat the pore, then put the moisture back. This skin care kit for acne-prone skin does exactly those three things, in the right order, in the right strengths.

• Oily or combination skin
• Regular whiteheads, blackheads or small red breakouts
• Congested, bumpy texture especially on the forehead, nose and chin
• Anyone whose skin gets worse in Karachi/Lahore summer humidity

• Severe cystic or nodular acne — please see a dermatologist first. Salicylic acid will not be enough.
• Very dry or highly sensitive skin
• Anyone already under a doctor's care for acne, without asking them first

Morning: Salicylic face wash → oil-free moisturizer → sunscreen (essential — BHA makes skin more sun-sensitive).

Night: Salicylic face wash → 3–4 drops of Acne Control Serum on dry skin → oil-free moisturizer.

Week 1–2: use the serum every second night only. Build up to nightly as your skin tolerates it.

• Week 1–2: less oil, skin feels cleaner. Some people get a short "purge" of small breakouts as pores clear — this is normal and settles.
• Week 4–6: fewer new breakouts, smoother texture.
• Week 8–12: visible improvement in congestion and overall clarity.

Nobody clears acne in three days. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something. Give this routine eight weeks of consistency and judge it then.

• Patch-test on your inner forearm for 24 hours before using on your face.
• Wear sunscreen every morning while using salicylic acid.
• Do not combine with other exfoliating acids or retinol in the same routine while starting out.
• Stop if you get burning, swelling or persistent redness, and message us — we will help you adjust.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using salicylic acid.
• For external use only. Avoid the eye area. Keep out of reach of children.
• These are cosmetic products, not medicines. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Is this acne treatment kit good for oily, breakout-prone skin?

Yes — that is exactly who it is built for. It suits oily or combination skin with regular whiteheads, blackheads or small red breakouts, and congested, bumpy texture on the forehead, nose and chin. If your skin gets worse in Karachi or Lahore summer humidity, you are the person this routine was designed around.

Is this the original product or a copy?

Yes, this is the genuine EL TESSA kit, sold directly by EL TESSA PK. Every box arrives sealed and batch-fresh — check the seals at your door before you pay.

How do I use the three steps, morning and night?

Morning: salicylic face wash, then the oil-free moisturizer, then sunscreen — the sunscreen is essential. Night: face wash, then 3–4 drops of the Acne Control Serum on dry skin, then the moisturizer. For the first one to two weeks, use the serum every second night only and build up as your skin tolerates it.

When will I see results?

Honestly: in weeks 1–2, less oil and cleaner-feeling skin. By weeks 4–6, fewer new breakouts and smoother texture. By weeks 8–12, visible improvement in congestion and overall clarity. Nobody clears acne in three days — give it eight weeks of consistency and judge it then.

My skin broke out more in the first week — is that normal?

Often, yes. Some people get a short "purge" of small breakouts as the salicylic acid clears out the pores. This is normal and settles. If you get burning, swelling or persistent redness instead, stop and message us — we will help you adjust.

Will this clear severe or cystic acne?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. For severe cystic or nodular acne, please see a dermatologist first — salicylic acid will not be enough on its own. These are cosmetic products, not medicines, and they are not intended to treat or cure any disease.

Do I need to wear sunscreen while using this kit?

Yes, every morning. Salicylic acid (BHA) makes skin more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is not optional while you are on this routine — it is part of it.

Can I use this with retinol or other exfoliating acids?

Not while you are starting out. Do not combine the kit with other exfoliating acids or retinol in the same routine — that is how skin ends up irritated and the routine gets abandoned. If a doctor is already treating your acne, ask them before adding this.

Is it safe for sensitive skin or during pregnancy?

Very dry or highly sensitive skin is better served by a gentler routine, so we would honestly steer you elsewhere. Whoever you are, patch-test on your inner forearm for 24 hours before using it on your face. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using salicylic acid.

How can I pay, and how long does delivery take?

You can pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay - secure checkout by Stripe) or pay on delivery (COD) - available in Pakistan only, and delivery is free anywhere in Pakistan: 2–3 working days in major cities, 3–5 working days elsewhere, up to 7 in remote areas. Products arrive sealed and batch-fresh, and unopened items can be returned within 7 days.
