Key Ingredients

  • PHA1

    Polyhydroxy acids — larger and milder than AHAs.

    Gluconolactone

  • AHA1

    Alpha hydroxy acids — water-soluble chemical exfoliants.

    Glycolic Acid

  • BHA1

    Beta hydroxy acid — oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore.

    Salicylic Acid

  • Glycolic acid1

    The smallest AHA, and so the most penetrating.

    Glycolic Acid

  • Fatty alcohol1

    Waxy fatty alcohols used as emollients and thickeners; unrelated to drying alcohol.

    Cetyl Alcohol

  • Colloidal oatmeal1

    Finely milled oat — an FDA-recognised skin protectant.

    Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

  • Polysorbates (Tween emulsifiers)1

    Polysorbate (Tween) emulsifiers.

    Polysorbate 20

  • BHA1

    Beta hydroxy acid — oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore.

    Salicylic Acid
