What does the product description say?

BSA Black Head Away Liquid

Source: From product name

This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.

betaine salicylate 3.3% - 5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid

niacinamide 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

A toner with 9,000ppm betaine salicylate to help dissolve and remove dead skin cells and blackheads.

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.

betaine salicylate 3.3% - 5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Contains hyaluronic acid and EWG-approved ingredients to hydrate and replenish the skin.

Source: Yesstyle

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

sodium hyaluronate 0.4% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

ulmus davidiana root extract 1.8% - 2.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant root extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might have an anti-inflammatory effect and could help neturalize free radicals in skin

butylene glycol 6.3% - 9.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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
