This gentle leaveon exfoliant works within the pore lining to prevent congestion & blemishes. 2% BHA is clinically proven to visibly reduce pores, control oil & support skin's barrier. Exfoliation helps the rest of your routine absorb better and work harder for a glowing, makeupready complexion.
Ingredients:
- BHA (beta hydroxy acid): Penetrates pores to clear blemishcausing buildup and shed dead skin.
- Green Tea Extract: Potent antioxidant quickly calms redness & soothes skin barrier.
- Methylpropanediol: Hydrates & prevents water loss while visibly improving skin's glow.

Worth the hype
Definitely helpful with skintone, pores and pimples. Will dry out skin if used too often but for a few times a week it's perfect!

actually my favorite product
this is actually my favorite product. maybe of all time. it just clears out my pores so well and doesn't over dry. i do always apply lotion once it dries but then my skin feels and looks great. it even helps clear those comedone under skin bumps that i seemed to have forever. until i started using this regularly. i use every night unless i am using a different weekly treatment. definitely my go to.

Excellent for acne
I had received a small sample of this from a separate order. For many months it sat in my drawer as I spent hundreds on different products trying to get a sudden bout of acne under control for over a year. Nothing helped. I stumbled upon this in my drawer one day & read what it was for online. I figured since salicylic acid had never helped my acne this wouldn't be any different but I decided to try it. Immediately deep cystic acne on and under my chin started to clear. Acne that had been stubbornly refusing to clear for nearly a year disappeared. None of it has returned and I've been using it for 3 months now. You can use it as a spot treatment or put it on your palms or a cotton pad and use it all over. I don't get any reaction and my skin is very sensitive. It leaves no residue. Topical agents aren't my first go to when my skin goes bad. I know skin issues are just giving a glimpse into the internal problems and it's important to address those inflammatory root causes rather than cover the symptoms up with topical chemicals or drugs but it sure is nice to find a product that has helped clear my face up while I focus on my internal health. One issue I do have is I can't find the EWG's rating on this product.

This is the best product I have ever used. It's so lightweight and leaves my skin feeling so smooth. I would highly recommend this.

Helped with my pimple
Great stuff! I had a pimple, used this and it dried my pimple up. It didn't irritate my skin.

Great for long term exfoliation
I feel like it keeps my combination skin clear over time. Not an immediate exfoliation difference but I think it keeps it clear long term. Non-irritating for me but I do not have sensitive skin. I use every couple days at night

Works well and gentle on acne skin
It does its job to exfoliate dead skin and makes my skin so smooth after each use. Very gentle on acne skin. However I only use it one to two times a week along with my retinol cream since my skin is sensitive.

It's that good.
Gentle enough to use daily without the burning sensation I get from other chemical exfoliators. It's also very effective at keeping my pores clear.

SO Impressed!
I received a small bottle of this as a 'gift with purchase' and it is one of my go-to exfoliants! I learned that BHA's are better than AHA's for people with sensitive skin/rosacea (and they don't necessarily make you sensitive to the sun, though you should always wear sunscreen) and I use iS Clinical Active Serum on a nightly basis to calm redness, but this is a 1-2x a week (in replacement of the Active Serum) and my skin feels SO soft, clear and lovely. Highly recommend.
