Key Ingredients & Their Functions

• Salicylic Acid (2%): A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce inflammation, and combat acne-causing bacteria.
• Glycolic Acid (0.5%): An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that promotes cellular turnover, smooths skin texture, and enhances overall skin radiance.
• Microbeads (biodegradable): Provide gentle physical exfoliation to remove surface dead skin cells.
• Oil-Control Complex: Helps regulate excess sebum production, reducing shine and preventing clogged pores.
• Hydrating Agents (e.g., Glycerin): Maintain skin moisture balance and prevent over-drying.

Process of Use

1. Preparation
   • Wet face with lukewarm water to open pores and soften skin.
   • Dispense a small amount (pea-sized) of the scrub onto fingertips.
2. Application
   • Gently massage the scrub onto damp skin using circular motions.
   • Focus on areas prone to oiliness and breakouts such as forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone).
   • Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent skin irritation.
3. Exfoliation
   • Use the scrub 1-2 times daily, depending on skin sensitivity.
   • The physical exfoliants combined with salicylic acid work to remove dead skin layers and unclog pores.
4. Rinsing
   • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all residues.
   • Pat dry with a soft towel.
5. Post-Cleansing Care
   • Follow with a toner (if used), acne treatment products, and a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
   • Apply sunscreen during the day to protect newly exfoliated skin.

Uses & Benefits

• Acne Prevention: Regular use helps reduce the formation of pimples and blackheads.
• Oil Control: Manages excess sebum, controlling shine throughout the day.
• Deep Cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from pores, preventing breakouts.
• Improved Skin Texture: Physical and chemical exfoliation results in smoother, more refined skin.
• Prevents Post-Inflammatory Marks: By reducing breakouts, it minimizes the risk of acne scars.

Precautions

• Avoid contact with eyes.
