Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) is a potent exfoliating and comedolytic agent that effectively targets blemish-prone skin by unclogging pores and reducing bacterial growth. Key benefits are:

• Deep Pore Cleansing: As a small lipophilic molecule, Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolving excess sebum and dead skin cells to prevent clogging and breakouts.
• Exfoliating & Smoothing Effect: Gently promotes the removal of dead skin cells, refining skin texture and improving overall clarity.
• Anti-Bacterial Action: Effectively counteracts Cutibacterium acnes, a key bacteria responsible for acne development, helping to reduce existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.

Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza inflata). Licochalcone A protects skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors like UV and blue light (HEVIS). Key benefits are:

• Antioxidant Defense: Activates antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, shielding skin cells from oxidative damage, including lipid peroxidation, DNA- and protein damage.
• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Effectively reduces redness and soothes irritated skin, making it ideal for sensitive and irritated and stressed skin conditions.
