What are the benefits?

  • Pore-clearing: Helps clear and unclog pores while it soothes the skin.
  • Dark Spot Reduction: Lightens dark spots and acne scars by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which causes hyperpigmentation.
  • Redness Reduction: Reduces redness by preventing blood vessels from widening.
  • Renewing: Brightens skin and clears blocked pores by speeding up skin cell turnover.
  • Skin Tone and Texture Improvement: Evens out skin tone, fades scars and other discolorations, and refines skin’s surface through mild exfoliation.
  • Calming and Soothing: Calms sensitive and irritated skin.
