Formulated with 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA), it gently removes impurities and excess sebum while combating acne and blemishes, leaving the skin soft and smooth without a stripping feeling.

Key Benefits & Features

• 0.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA): An oil-soluble exfoliant that deep-cleans pores and helps treat acne by reducing swelling and redness while unplugging blocked skin pores. Salicylic acid not only removes impurities at the surface level of the skin, but also clears clogged pores.

• Soothing Botanical Complex: Contains Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water (a natural source of salicylic acid) to calm and clarify the skin.

• Hydrating & Gentle Base: Enriched with Glycerin, a skin-identical humectant that hydrates and protects the skin barrier, along with gentle, coconut-derived surfactants (Lauric & Myristic Acids) for mild cleansing.

• Optimal pH Level: With a skin-friendly pH of ~5.3, it promotes barrier health by mimicking your skin's natural acidity, ensuring effective cleansing without disrupting the protective barrier.

• Clean & Conscious Formulation: Vegan, hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, cruelty-free, and free from parabens and sulfates.

• Ideal For: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Suitable for reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and excess sebum, as well as for daily deep cleaning without drying out the skin . It is also suitable for sensitive skin needing gentle exfoliation.
