Key Benefits:

• Prevents acne: Salicylic acid has the unique ability to go deep into the skin and pull out excess dirt and sebum. Being naturally anti-inflammatory, it helps to normalize keratinization or the bonding together of dead skin cells, reducing and preventing acne and breakouts.
• Unclogs pores: When dead skin cells mix up with our skin's natural oil, our pores tend to look bigger and stretched. Glycolic acid helps in exfoliating the top layer of the skin, decreasing the amount of dead skin cells getting trapped inside the pore. On the other hand, being oil-soluble salicylic acid reaches deep inside pores, loosening up clogs and making them appear smaller.
• Balances excessive oil production: One of the few ingredients that actually slow down your skin's oil production, salicylic acid reduces sebum secretion, keeping your natural skin oil in balance while glycolic acid reduces excessive oil production and clogged pores, maintaining smooth and balanced skin.
