Salicylic Acid 1.5%: A sebum-soluble, beta hydroxy acid that gets deep into pores to exfoliate clogging oil and dead skin cells. (Pore Thing, Daily Meds)
Azelaic Acid: Natural exfoliator dissolves the bonds of pore clogging dead cells. (Pore Thing)
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract: A sustainable apple saccharide super-food complex derived from a zero-waste process of manufacturing apple juice for the food industry. This farm-based active provides clinically tested hydration and draws back atmospheric water onto dry skin to instantly leave it plump, dewy, and with a healthy glow. (Pore Thing)
Glycolic Acid 3.5%: Skin clearing, pH balanced alpha hydroxy acid. Potent exfoliant derived from sugar cane; its small molecule size helps readjust the water percentage in the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin) to create smoother, softer and more radiant skin. It also stimulates 'desquamation', or cell removal of the skin's uppermost layers to target clogged pores, dark spots, rough texture, and more. (Daily Meds)
Lactic Acid: A product of fermentation of plant derived sugars; its large molecule size penetrates slowly for gentle, mid-depth exfoliation; acts as a humectant and hydrates; smoothes roughness, improves clarity + radiance. (Daily Meds)
Niacinamide: Skin-strengthening vitamin B3 - helps improve the appearance of environmental damage, problem pores, uneven tone, lines, and dullness. (Daily Meds, Spot Defy)
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract: Similar to salicylic acid, vacuums clogged pores + reduces oil. (Pore Thing)
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract: Green tea extract that is a natural antioxidant with polyphenols to help soothe and strengthen skin. (Pore Thing, Daily Meds)
Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract: From oregano, a botanical extract that is high contains the antioxidant, carvacrol. (Daily Meds, Spot Defy)
Colloidal Sulfur (OTC) 5%: Treats + clears acne, absorbs excess sebum, unclogs pores and denies growth of acne bacteria; prevents acne + PIH; calms inflamed skin. Gentler than benzoyl peroxide. (Spot Defy)
Bentonite and Kaolin: Natural clays create an occlusive barrier to draw out oil + impurities; helps hold ingredient contact to blemishes. (Spot Defy)
Centella Asiatica Extract (gotu kola/tiger grass): Adaptogenic natural herb to help strengthen and balance the skin. (Spot Defy)
