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.
HYDROXYANASATIL RETINOATE (HAR), 0.3%
An ester of isotretinoin, HAR offers all the benefits of retinoic acid while providing both antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, therefor fulfilling the role of multiple anti-acne ingredients combined. This unique retinoid kills acne bacteria cells, inhibits melanin production, stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin to reduce signs of aging, and is ideal for patients experiencing PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.)
