SALICYLIC ACID, 2%
Aids exfoliation by weakening the links between cells in the outer layer of dead skin, allowing the normal shedding process to occur at a more optimum rate. By helping new cells surface, it improves skin texture, unclogs pores, enhances penetration (and therefore effectiveness) of ingredients such as vitamin C.
AZELAIC ACID, 10%
A natural component of wheat, barley, and rye, this ingredient is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory with melanin inhibiting properties.
NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3), 4%
Promotes microcirculation, strengthens the skin’s outer layers, improves elasticity, and curbs redness and irritation. Helpful for treating dry skin due to its ability to increase barrier lipid levels. Has anti-inflammatory properties (which helps reduce redness), anti-bacterial properties, and melanin inhibiting properties.
GLYCYRRHETINIC ACID
A component of licorice root extract, glycyrrhetinic acid calms the skin while minimizing skin sensitivity. In addition to its soothing properties, glycyrrhetinic acid can also help brighten the skin and provides antioxidant protection.
