Product summary

"Ultraceuticals - Ultra Clear Treatment Lotion" is effective for: Moisturizing, Evens skin tone, Anti-aging, Anti-blemish and Exfoliation

Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.90% - 2.40%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
  • This product contains acids (mandelic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, lactic acid 0.20% - 0.40% and mandelic acid 2.40% - 2.90%). 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). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
  • Salicylic acid (0.70% - 1.00%). 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 pca 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium pca 0.25% - 0.50%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.50% and glycerin 3.10% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
