R289.00
Lelive Save Our Skin (SOS) Exfoliate + Control Serum 30ml is a targeted resurfacing serum formulated to tackle congestion, excess oil, enlarged-looking pores, blemishes, dark spots and uneven skin texture.
The formula combines three complementary types of exfoliating acids – AHAs, BHA and PHA – to provide effective yet balanced exfoliation.
Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric, Citric and Malic Acids provide AHA exfoliation, helping remove dull surface build-up and improve the appearance of uneven texture and tone. Gluconolactone provides gentler PHA exfoliation, while White Willow Leaf Extract provides clarifying botanical care associated with the formula’s BHA-focused positioning.
Niacinamide complements the exfoliating blend by helping balance the appearance of excess oil, refine visible pores and improve uneven-looking skin tone.
To balance the active formula, Aloe Vera, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerine provide moisture-supporting and conditioning benefits, helping leave skin feeling soft and smooth.
SOS can be used across the face or applied selectively to blemish-prone or uneven-looking areas as a targeted treatment. Begin with three applications per week at night and gradually increase frequency according to skin tolerance.

Why Choose Lelive SOS Exfoliate + Control Serum?
SOS takes a multi-acid approach to exfoliation, making it particularly suited to skin experiencing a combination of oiliness, congestion, uneven texture and post-blemish marks.
The formula combines Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric, Citric and Malic Acids with Gluconolactone and White Willow Leaf Extract. Together, these ingredients provide surface exfoliation and clarifying care to help reveal smoother and brighter-looking skin.
Niacinamide adds another dimension to the formula, helping improve the appearance of excess oil, visible pores and uneven tone.
Despite its exfoliating focus, SOS also contains Aloe Vera, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerine to provide complementary hydration and conditioning.
The serum can be applied across the face or used more selectively on problem areas, making it a versatile addition to routines for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin.
