SKIN functional strives to continuously bring you the best product and therefore there may be formulation updates which may result in the ingredient list on the website and carton differing.

Benzoyl Peroxide

A powerful ingredient commonly used in skincare to treat acne. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and helping to clear clogged pores. This makes it effective for both preventing breakouts and treating existing ones. Benzoyl peroxide also helps to exfoliate the skin, promoting faster cell turnover and keeping pores clear.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Has powerful anti-inflammatory and calming properties as well as reducing post breakout marks.

Mandelic Acid

Is an effective exfoliator that gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Is excellent in scavenging reactive oxygen species from the skin surface. Activates ceramide synthesis which prevents comedogenesis and further assists in managing breakouts.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, humectant, soothing, and anti-itching properties.
