How it works

The product utilizes two forms of salicylic acid: a free form that starts to exfoliate and clear pores immediately, and an encapsulated form that provides extended exfoliation after rinsing. Green tea extract is included to help calm and soothe the skin, reducing irritation. Disodium cocoamphodiacetate and sodium cocoyl isethionate act as gentle cleansing agents to remove impurities and excess oil. Glycerin and butylene glycol are used as humectants to maintain skin hydration. Tocopheryl acetate serves as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. These ingredients work collectively to enhance the appearance of the skin, making it look clearer and feeling clean without excess oil.
