Exfoliation: contains salicylic acid, which is a natural beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). This acid helps to remove dead skin cells, improve its structure and promote healthy cell renewal. 2.

It can reduce pore size and control sebum production. 3. Antioxidant action: helps protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stress that can cause premature aging of the skin. 4. Even skin tone: can help reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation. 5. Soothing skin: can have a calming effect on the skin, helping to reduce redness, irritation and sensitivity.
