Product summary
"NIP+FAB - Salicylic Acid Day Pads" is effective for: Anti-blemish, Exfoliation and Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- Salicylic acid (0.90% - 1.35%). 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.20%, panthenol 0.30% - 0.75% and glycerin 3.80% - 5.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
