Key Ingredients
DIOIC ACID:Found naturally in a variety of vegetables, it helps reduce excess sebum production, minimizes the bacteria that cause acne, and prevents post-healing discoloration caused by inflammation and sun exposure.
LIPO HYDROXY ACID (LHA): A derivative of salicylic acid, LHA promotes even exfoliation and enhances the performance of other exfoliating ingredients.
SALICYLIC ACID: Helps dissolve sebum and cellular debris in the pores, provides effective exfoliation, stimulates cellular renewal, and improves the appearance of dullness and discoloration.
GLYCOLIC ACID AND CITRIC ACID:Synergistic blend of alpha hydroxy acids that promotes exfoliation of dead skin cells, helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and smoothes surface texture.
