Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids (lactic acid 1.90% - 2.30% and glycolic acid 4.20% - 5.20%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. Lactic Acid can also help to attract water to the upper layer (works as a humectant).
  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.70% - 1.05%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • Salicylic acid (1.00% - 1.30%). 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.
  • Humectants (zinc pca 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.50% - 0.80%, magnesium pca 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 2.40% - 3.00%, copper pca 0.25% - 0.45% and arginine 3.10% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
