Key Ingredient
Encapsulated 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Salicylic acid promotes a visibly clarified complexion by decongesting and exfoliating from within the pore. Innovative encapsulation technology ensures 2% salicylic acid is gradually delivered into your skin for comfortable daily use - even on sensitive complexions.
Polylysine
Polylysine selectively targets blemish-causing bacteria while supporting the skin’s microbiome, delivering gentle yet effective blemish control.
2% Tranexamic Acid
An effective brightening ingredient which works to visibly even areas of uneven skin tone. This also helps to minimise the appearance of post-blemish imperfections and dark spots.
Fermented Rice Extract (previously known as Sake)
Rich in natural amino acids, helping to hydrate and nourish the complexion, promoting a healthy skin glow.
