description

A unique leave-on formula that’s gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even, radiant tone, plus visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles to reveal remarkably smoother, younger-looking skin. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.2–3.8.

ingredients

Water⁠, Methylpropanediol⁠, Butylene Glycol⁠, Salicylic Acid⁠, Polysorbate 20⁠, Camellia Oleifera⁠, Sodium Hydroxide⁠, Tetrasodium EDTA⁠

    I have noticed a big difference in my skin with this product! It has smoothed it out, my skin looks good even without make-up. It controls the oil and sinks in rather quickly. Not a fan of the...

    This is one of the best products I have found for my skin (combo/acne-prone/dehydrated/sensitive). The ingredients are simple (mainly active salicylic acid and green tea) and effective. I like to...
