Triple Action Exfoliation  

Gentle acids, AHA from Lactic Acid and BHA from Willow Bark, draw out impurities and daily surface build up, while biodegradable Jojoba Wax Beads gently buff away debris without causing micro-tears. This chemical-physical exfoliant provides deep exfoliating action without aggravation for smoother, brighter and more even skin.  

Hydrating and Protecting Complex 

Saccharide Isomerate harnesses innovative ‘rinse-resistant’ hydration technology designed to provide deep 24-hour hydration, antioxidant rich botanicals visibly improve skin tone and texture, and Aloe barbadensis leaf juice and Glycerin calm and hydrate the skin to enable deep exfoliation without irritation. This innovative complex provides superior hydration long after the exfoliant is removed.  

Clarifying Complex  

Willow Bark and Kaolin work together to help target congestion. Willow bark, a naturally occurring BHA, exfoliates and prevents dead skin cells from congesting pores while Kaolin effectively absorbs excess oil that can lead to break outs.
