What it does

• 2% niacinamide supports even tone and smoother texture across the day.
• Glycerin and postbiotic Lactobacillus ferment hydrate the skin without a heavy feel.
• The formula reinforces the skin barrier, promoting comfortable hydration for acne-prone skin.
• With continued use, you may notice a reduction in uneven texture and tone as the complexion looks more balanced.

Key ingredients

• Salicylic acid (1.2%) for clarity and surface smoothness
• Niacinamide (2%) for tone and texture
• Postbiotic Lactobacillus ferment and glycerin for hydration
• Fragrance-free or low-fragrance formula designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin

How to use

• Apply to cleansed skin, morning and/or night.
• Use a small amount and spread evenly over the face, avoiding the eye contour.
• Follow with sunscreen during daytime routines for daytime protection.
• If you’re new to salicylic acid, start gradually to gauge tolerance.
• Patch test before full use to ensure compatibility with your skin.

The texture is lightweight and quick-absorbing, leaving a comfortable, non-greasy finish that layers well with other skincare. While results vary, many users appreciate the combination of hydrations and targeted blemish care as part of a balanced skincare routine.
