How Glycolic Acid 2%, Salicylic Acid 1%, Niacinamide 0.5%, Licorice Extract 1%, Vitamin E 0.2%, Aloe Vera 1% Face Wash Works
This combination formula works through multiple mechanisms:
- Glycolic Acid (2% w/v): An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the outer layer of skin, promoting cell turnover and reducing fine lines.
- Salicylic Acid (1% w/v): A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates pores to remove excess oil and dead skin, helping to prevent acne.
- Niacinamide (0.5% w/v): A form of vitamin B3 that soothes inflammation, reduces redness, and improves skin barrier function.
- Licorice Extract (1% w/v): Known for its skin-lightening and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps reduce hyperpigmentation.
- Vitamin E (0.2% w/v): An antioxidant that protects skin from environmental damage.
- Aloe Vera (1% w/v): Moisturizes and calms the skin, reducing irritation from other active ingredients.
