Key Ingredients
Encapsulated 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Salicylic acid gently exfoliates and visibly decongests the skin to promote a visily clarified complexion. Innovative encapsulation technology ensures 2% salicylic acid is gradually delivered into your skin for comfortable daily use - even on sensitive complexions.

2% Tranexamic Acid

An effective brightening ingredient which works to visibly even areas of uneven skin tone. This also helps to minimize the appearance of surface imperfections and dark spots.

Fermented Rice Extract

Derived from fermented rice water, sake extract is rich in natural amino acids and works to hydrate the complexion while supporting the skin barrier.

Polylysine

Polylysine selectively targets blemish-causing bacteria while supporting the skin’s microbiome, delivering gentle yet effective blemish control.
