Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (glycolic acid 1.30% - 1.90%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants).
  • Salicylic acid (1.50% - 2.30%). 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.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.40% - 2.20%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (glycerin 0.05% - 0.10%, allantoin 1.40% - 2.20%, betaine 2.00% - 3.10% and sodium hyaluronate 2.70% - 4.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
