Key Ingredients and Their Role

Willow bark water provides a natural source of BHA that penetrates pores to dissolve excess oil and impurities
Glycolic acid helps refine skin tone, smooth texture and reduce the look of acne marks
Betaine salicylate offers gentle pore cleansing and exfoliation with less risk of irritation
Panthenol and allantoin help soothe the skin, reduce irritation and support barrier recovery
Mineral water provides hydration and helps maintain overall skin balance

Important Notes

Best suited for oily, combination and acne prone skin, though many sensitive skin types tolerate it well
Always use sunscreen during the day as exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity
Avoid using together with other exfoliating acids, retinol or vitamin C on the same day
If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or pause use until skin feels comfortable again
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Pregnant or breastfeeding users should consult a healthcare professional before use.
