How to use

Any time of day, as the first step. Wet skin with lukewarm water, massage in gentle circular motions, then rinse. Can be used on face and body.

Pros
  • Contains salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation, with niacinamide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid
  • Exfoliates without microbeads, per the brand
  • Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, per the brand
Cons
  • The brand does not state the salicylic acid strength
  • A wash is rinsed off quickly, so contact time with the acid is short
