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.

Easy and gentle on my skin
I find this pretty gentle (although I am used to some pretty harsh exfoliants) and easy to use. It refreshes my skin and seems to clarify it without much in the way of irritation. The smell is a bit much but I prefer that to added perfume. Bottle lasts me a while, I think it's a good value.

didn't work for me
I think this is a great product but it didn't work well for me due to some of the ingredients, such as the Polysorbate 20, which has always given me issues. Most people love this product and I love that it doesn't have a lot of silly essential oils that cause more problems than they fix usually....I also like that it is fragrance free.

A good option for a daily exfoliant
I like to use this product on nights or days after not using my prescription topical retinoid. For me, it is a gentle exfoliant that helps bridge the gap on those days to help keep my skin somewhat exfoliated at all times. I did notice after using it one night that a few bumps which were previously closed off had opened and become white comedones, which made me respect its exfoliating abilities. I do think this is worth adding to your regimen on as needed basis to fine tune your exfoliation.

I now use this religiously
I used this product in the past, but was inconsistent with my usage. When I looked at it reviewed by Dermstore customers like myself, I realized what my mistake had been. So, I've given it another chance and I can see improvement in my skin when using twice a day.

This is magic
I have been using this for a little over 2 weeks now. At first, I used it every other day because I have pretty sensitive skin. This week, I decided to start using it on my nose twice a day. Wow. I woke up this morning and did a triple take in the mirror. Since I can remember, I always have had blackheads all over my nose, especially in the corners. They are literally almost gone. I have never gotten this dramatic of results from any other product. Definitely will keep purchasing.

Great after dermaplaning
I got a sample of this with one of my dermstore orders. I loved it. It shrank my pores so much. I love using this after pore strips to really penetrate my pores and after dermaplaning.

Favorite toner!
I have used two bottles of this product so far and plan to continue buying! It evens out my skin tone, and vanishes the look of pores around my nose. My skin feels clean and healthy after daily use!

holy grail every-day BHA
My go-to. I've re-bought this several times. I tried a mini size first and liked it so much that I bought the large size right after and continue to buy the large size. The mini actually comes in handy when I travel - I just pour some of the larger one into it. I use this every night right after washing my face and before the rest of my skincare routine. It goes on smooth, though it is quite liquidy, so you have to be pretty quick putting it on and spreading it across your face. But feels great, doesn't have very much of a scent, and works!

Game Changer
This has completely changed my skincare routine. I am replacing my DE Framboos serum for this.
