SALICYLIC ACID - A powerful yet soothing beta hydroxy acid derived from willow bark. Delivers essential keratolytic benefits: reduces redness, addresses imperfections, and boosts clarity.
HYALURONIC ACID - A polysaccharide naturally produced by the body. Exceptionally effective in attracting and retaining moisture, for plump, fresh, well-hydrated skin.
GLUCONOLACTONE - A highly beneficial, naturally-derived poly-hydroxy acid. Optimizes skin renewal by gently lifting away dead cells, to reveal a soft, fresh, luminous complexion.
