Key Benefits

• Deep Pore Clarifying: Dissolves sticky sebum and cellular debris trapped deep within the skin matrix to visibly minimize enlarged pores.
• Blackhead & Acne Reduction: Targets acne-causing factors directly at the source, preventing blackheads, whiteheads, and future blemishes.
• Texture & Tone Smoothing: Accelerates cellular renewal to fade fine lines, eliminate rough flakes, and brighten uneven skin discoloration.

Hero Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid (2%): A lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid (BHA) capable of bypassing surface oils to exfoliate inside the follicle wall.
• Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: A highly soothing botanical agent that neutralizes environmental stressors and calms active inflammation.
• Butylene Glycol: A lightweight humectant that draws water into the barrier to counteract potential dryness caused by acid exfoliation.

Suitable For

• Skin Types: Optimized for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, yet gentle enough for normal and dry skin types.
• Skin Concerns: Persistent blackheads, enlarged or clogged pores, bumps, rough skin texture, dullness, and redness.
• Sensitivity Warning: Those with a known allergy to salicylates (found in aspirin) should avoid using products containing BHA.

How to Use

1. Cleanse & Tone: Wash your face thoroughly and apply your primary hydrating toner if using one.
2. Dispense: Soak a cotton pad or pool a dime-sized amount of the liquid directly into clean palms.
3. Apply: Gently sweep or press the fluid across your entire face and neck. Avoid direct contact with your eyelids, eyelashes, and lower lash line. Do not rinse off.
4. Hydrate & Protect: Follow up with your preferred serum, eye cream, and moisturizer.
   • Frequency: Introduce the product gradually. Start by applying it 2 to 3 times a week at night. Once your skin builds tolerance, increase application to once daily or twice daily (morning and night).
   • Sun Protection: BHA reveals fresh skin cells that are highly sensitive to UV rays. Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher.
