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.
Clinical Results:
- 'Clinically proven to visibly reduce pores & control oil
- Based on an independent clinical study with 32 subjects after 4 weeks.

Burned my skin under 5 min
It was the same feeling as when I used Proactiv in high school. Followed instructions on back and without timing, under 5 minutes my skin started itching, burning and feeling hot. I immediately washed off - I have sensitive skin, especially facial so this isn't recommended for sensitive skin users.

this is awesome !!
I use this at night after cleansing my skin. Can be drying but I use it every other night. Your skin is glowing after use. definitely sucks all the gunk out of your pores. Skin is tight and poreless after use. I follow this with a mix f the 4 percent BHA from Paulas choice and Sunday Riley Good Genes. My skin is FLAWLESS !!!

My All-time Favorite Cleanser
Yes, I use this as a cleanser at the end of the day, but not with mascara. I need to moisturize afterward on some nights since I have mature but oily skin. My teenage daughter uses this the same way nightly, without moisturizing. We have the subscription, and I really feel like this is our holy grail product.

Powerful-Proceed With Caution
As no stranger to sensitizing products -retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, etc- I dove into using this product as recommended on the packaging, one to two times per day. It works, sometimes too well. The persistent blackheads on my nose are nowhere in sight after about 10 days of use, but with their departure came a series of flaky dry patches around my mouth and chin. This product definitely works, though I would recommend a gradual approach to protect your skin's delicate acid mantle followed by a trusted moisturizer.

Wanted to like this...
First night it tingled...which is normal. Next night, it burned. In the morning my face was beet red. I always experienced flaky skin...for a few days. Discontinued immediately.

Another Cult Fave I don't like
Marketed as boosting skin tone and enhancing natural glow, minimizing blemishes, soothing inflammation. I was dealing with hormonal acne, it didn't help NOT ONE BIT. I knew there would be a purging process, but after using for a month, I put it down. It seemed to be increasing the inflammation on my already inflamed pimples, and did nothing to shrink my breakouts. The consistency is very sticky on the face and makes the skin very shiny, not in a glowy way, drawing more attention to pimples. No difference in skin tone either. Terrible

Great product
This is my 3rd bottle of this and I think it's one of the best toner/exfoliants that has SA but not a terrible form of alcohol in it, which is so hard to find.

So Far Loving it
My skin is baby smooth and glowing! I use it every night and the first days got a dad dry in some places but am now loving it!

Great after workouts/morning wash
Great - really feels like it helps unclog pores and lets skin breathe again. So far I've gone through 1 bottle and I feel like everything is starting to even out - first week daily use had to go heavy on moisture but now it's fairly consistent

Staple in My Night Routine
Purchased this after hearing and reading about how amazing it was. I was a little skeptical but this stuff has totally smoothed out my congested combination skin and helped keep breakouts at bay. Already repurchasing because it's become a staple in my nighttime routine.
