ExfoliationSalicylic acidWorks well
“A boost of potent Salicylic Acid offers gentle exfoliation, working to clean the pores of dirt and grime.”
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: salicylic acid.
Evens skin toneSalicylic acidNot delivered
“Refreshing, tantalising Tea Tree helps to minimise the appearance of redness and irritation around active blemishes, encouraging the look of a clearer, more even skin-tone.”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Glycerin, Portulaca oleracea extract + 1 moreWorks
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, 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).

Ingredient callouts
- Salicylic acid (1.40% - 2.10%). 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 0.45% - 1.05%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 10.95£ in the United Kingdom, for 10.84A$ in Australia and for 10.95$ in the United States.
