• In the Clear Acne Serum: Thoughtfully formulated serum made with Wintergreen-Derived Salicylic Acid to help exfoliate skin to support cell turnover and help clear, minimize + prevent future breakouts. It also contains Azelaic Acid, known to improve the appearance of post-blemish pigmentation, Zinc PCA which is known to help balance skin microbiome and keep microorganisms in check, and Niacinamide, which is known to help improve the look of redness.
• Spot Stopper Acne Spot Treatment: Witch Hazel-infused, fast-acting acne spot treatment that visibly reduces the size and redness of blemishes in as little as two days** and helps prevent future breakouts. The formula also contains Wintergreen-Derived Salicylic Acid which works to fight acne and exfoliate the skin, while Glycolic Acid acts as a powerful exfoliant to improve skin clarity and promote faster breakout recovery. Lastly, Microalgae, a prebiotic and skin superfood, keeps microorganisms (associated with skin imbalances) in check.
