Key Ingredients

Activated Charcoal
An excellent skin purifier charcoal acts as a magnet to draw out dirt, oil and bacteria from the skin’s pores. Activated charcoal is so effective that its proven to adsorb 200 times its own mass.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids
Naturally derived from plant sources, the main benefit of an alpha hydroxy acid is its ability to exfoliate the skin. They essentially remove the “glue” from the upper layer of skin that holds onto the old, dead skin cells. By effectively removing that top layer of skin, the alpha hydroxy acids serve to help new skin grow. Revealing soft and silky smooth skin.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid s antimicrobial properties make it extremely effective at treating breakouts. It has the ability to penetrate into the pore lining and exfoliate inside the pore as well as on the surface of skin, which makes it effective for reducing breakouts, including blackheads and whiteheads. It is also well documented salicylic acid can improve skin thickness, barrier function, and collagen production.
