BENEFITS
- A less drying alternative for patients with more sensitive skin
- Improves skin texture by increasing the rate of exfoliation
- Reduces the production of oil to minimize breakouts
- Inhibits the production of melanin to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Contains salicylic acid and hydroxyanasatil retinoate, both of which provide antibacterial properties
KEY INGREDIENTS
SALICYLIC ACID, 2%
Aids exfoliation by weakening the links between cells in the outer layer of dead skin, allowing the normal shedding process to occur at a more optimum rate. By helping new cells surface, it improves skin texture, unclogs pores, enhances penetration (and therefore effectiveness) of ingredients such as vitamin C.
HYDROXYANASATIL RETINOATE (HAR), 0.3%
An ester of isotretinoin, HAR ofers all the bene fits of retinoic acid while providing both antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, therefor ful flilling the role of multiple anti-acne ingredients combined. This unique retinoid kills acne bacteria cells, inhibits melanin production, stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin to reduce signs of aging, and is ideal for patients experiencing PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.)
