Key Ingredients

2.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA) — A lipid-soluble beta-hydroxy acid for oily and congested skin. Reduces dead cell accumulation and sebum that can clog pores. Provides anti-inflammatory activity. 

Octadecenedioic Acid — A long-chain dicarboxylic acid that supports blemish-prone skin and improves uneven tone and pigmentation. Complements salicylic acid by targeting different pathways relevant to oiliness, blemishes, and the appearance of uneven pigmentation.

Mandelic Acid — An alpha-hydroxy acid to help with surface exfoliation, tone, and texture improvement. 

Malic Acid — An AHA that complements the exfoliating complex for clearer, smoother, and healthier skin. Refines rough texture. 

Pyruvic Acid — An alpha-keto acid incorporated into the multi-acid system that provides additional surface renewal activity for a firmer, plumper complexion.

Gluconolactone — A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that gently exfoliates while providing the skin with humectant activity.
