Product summary

Ingredient callouts

  • this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl propionate 0.40% - 0.95%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Salicylic acid (1.25% - 2.50%). 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 (glycerin 0.15% - 0.70%, sodium pca 0.15% - 0.70%, saccharide isomerate 0.20% - 0.75% and sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
