Take Control™ Salicylic + 10% Azelaic Acid Clarifying Serum

Three Ships Take Control™ Salicylic + 10% Azelaic Acid Clarifying Serum is a daily clarifying serum designed to help refine pores, smooth texture, reduce visible redness, and improve the look of post-blemish marks.

Formulated with 1% salicylic acid, 10% azelaic acid, and 2% rapeseed seed oil with Japanese indigo leaf extract, this dermatologist-tested serum helps support clearer-looking skin while remaining gentle enough for daily use or targeted spot application.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores, while azelaic acid helps improve the look of uneven tone and post-acne marks. Japanese indigo helps comfort the skin barrier and visibly reduce redness, making this a thoughtful option for oily, problematic, or blemish-prone skin.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

We recommend Three Ships Take Control™ Salicylic + 10% Azelaic Acid Clarifying Serum for clients looking to target congestion, blemishes, visible redness, uneven texture, and post-blemish marks in one simple step.

Because this formula contains both salicylic acid and azelaic acid, introduce it gradually if your skin is sensitive or if you are already using other exfoliating acids, retinoids, or active treatments. Start once daily or every other day, then increase as tolerated.

Use SPF daily, especially when using exfoliating ingredients. If the skin feels dry, tight, or irritated, reduce frequency and focus on barrier-supporting hydration.

Packaging Note:

Three Ships is continuing to use existing packaging until it runs out rather than sending it to landfill. If the box you receive looks different than what is shown online, the product is not old or expired. It is the same authentic, dermatologist-tested formula.
