Skin Types: Oily, Combination, Normal, Sensitive (introduce gradually)

Concerns: Blackheads, Clogged Pores, Breakouts, Rough Texture, Dullness

Pairs well with: Niacinamide, Panthenol, and PDRN support the skin after exfoliation, helping calm inflammation and promote regeneration. These balance the exfoliating effects of Betaine Salicylate, reducing the chance of dryness or sensitivity.

Compatible with: Hydrating and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acid, and Snail Mucin pair well, restoring moisture and comfort. Ceramides, Beta-Glucan, and Allantoin further reinforce the barrier for a smoother texture.

Use with care: This exfoliant contains 4% Betaine Salicylate (BHA), a gentle derivative of Salicylic Acid. It clears pores and smooths texture effectively but can heighten sensitivity if overused or combined with other strong actives. It’s safe to use in the same routine as a Retinoid, but best done on alternate nights or layered carefully with ample hydration.

Layering tip: Apply after cleansing and toner on completely dry skin. Allow about 15–20 minutes for exfoliation to work before following with a hydrating toner or serum. Introduce slowly, starting one to two nights a week and increasing as tolerated.

Pro Tip: Pairing with barrier-focused repair layers such as PDRN, Centella, or Snail Mucin after exfoliation helps restore comfort and keeps pores clear while maintaining a strong, healthy barrier.
