Product Summary
Ingredient callouts
- Salicylic acid (0.35% - 0.85%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
FACIAL EXFOLIATOR
Source: From product name
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

All Biotherm products are infused with Life Plankton to deliver intense regenerating hydration, whereas our Life Plankton Collection features products where the ingredient is at its highest concentration.

Does not contain good ingredients to help with moisturization.
Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
