Details & care
What it is: A leave-on liquid exfoliator with 2% salicylic acid to visibly minimize pores and reveal clearer, brighter-looking skin—without a stripping or drying effect.
What it does: Powered by salicylic acid, this leave-on liquid exfoliator minimizes the look of enlarged pores and improves skin clarity by gently exfoliating and dissolving pore-clogging dirt and oil without stripping or drying. Borage and tremella mushroom soothe, hydrate and maintain skin's natural pH. Skin has a renewed clarity and brightness.
Key ingredients:
- Salicylic Acid (2% BHA): exfoliates pore-clogging debris
- Vitamin C: visibly brightens skin
- Tremella Mushroom: hydrates and maintains skin's natural pH
- Borage: helps calm and soothe, actively hydrates
How to use: Apply to your face and neck daily, AM and/or PM, with your fingertips or cotton ball. Do not rinse. Follow with serum and moisturizer of choice. For daytime use, follow with a sunscreen.

exceeded my expectations and is now a staple
I was always a Paula’s Choice liquid exfoliate 2% BHA, but I got this to try since Nordstrom stopped carrying it and this was a good alternative. This is not drying like the Paula’s Choice very easily can be. The tremella mushroom & borage truly make a noticeable difference. Just within 30 minutes of applying I can already see my skin more bright and less redness. It helps clear out acne, consistency really helps with this. I highly recommend this.

Not for sensitive skin
Used exactly 2 times, and not back to back, either. Tore my skin up. Used with the foaming cleanser, again, spaced some days apart. Developed horrible redness from hairline down, with 100 small reactive bumps ( not pustules). Now treating with creams per derm for dermatitis. Slowly resolving. I am very fair, blond, blue eyed. Thought since " au naturale", would promote improved skin barrier. Wrong. I say proceed with caution.

This is amazing! For the
This is amazing! For the first time I feel like my pores are actually smaller and my skin is looking better. Blackheads are less noticeable as well. I use this after the Bubbly Cleanser and then finish with Barrier Repair Cream.
