Benzoyl Peroxide

This type of peroxide is found in a wide variety of products outside of skincare (hair bleach and teeth whiteners, for example) but it acts as a peeling agent in our products, helping skin to slough off dead skin cells, revealing the newer skin underneath and encouraging faster turnover. It also helps discourage bacteria from setting up shop in your pores – remember it’s a member of the peroxide family which tends to have antimicrobial properties.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid encourages skin to slough off dead cells, helps pores to open up so they can release trapped dirt and oil, then it helps kill bacteria left in pores and aids in closing up pores so they Don't get more dirt and bacteria stuck in them. It’s quite the heavy-lifter when it comes to helping clear up pimples.
