Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids in a high total concentration (lactic acid 0.20% - 0.75%, lactic acid 4.90% - 7.30% and glycolic acid 5.20% - 7.70%). This is a strong peel. It removes the top layer of the dead skin cells, revealing a "fresher" skin. It can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. But we recommend to use this product with caution to avoid over-exfoliation (no more than 1-2x a week). Over-exfoliation can seriously damage your skin barrier and lead to sensitivity and even trigger pigmentation issues.
  • Bakuchiol in this product (the concentration is about 0.35% - 0.80%). Helps fight photodamage (wrinkles, elasticity loss and pigmentation) and can reduce clogged pores and blemishes. Bakuchiol is a compound extracted from a plant Babchi. It acts similar to retinoids, but with less irritation risk.
  • Salicylic acid (1.10% - 1.70%). 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 (hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.75%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, algae extract 0.35% - 0.85%, lactic acid 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.35% - 0.80%, hyaluronic acid 0.45% - 1.05% and lactic acid 4.90% - 7.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
