A leave-on liquid exfoliant with 2% salicylic acid that clears congestion and smooths texture by shedding dead skin cells and unclogging pores. It’s a cult-favorite for a reason, effectively balancing oil while green tea extract provides antioxidant soothing. This is the gold standard for dealing with stubborn blackheads or a congested complexion without the grit of a physical scrub. The liquid formula layers easily under other products, but it rewards patience—start with a few times a week to see the glow without over-exfoliating.

works but sticky
It cleared my blackheads, but it leaves a slightly tacky film on my skin. I have to wait a while before applying moisturizer.
good but strong scent
Keeps my pores clear. The medicinal smell is stronger than I expected for a fragrance-free product.
controls my oil
Keeps my oily t-zone matte all day long. I use it every other day.
