Pore Thing

A barrier-friendly, daily cleansing gel with multi-level exfoliators to target problem pores and clarify skin. Sebum-soluble salicylic acid penetrates through excess oil and clogging debris to break down impurities. Azelaic acid gently dissolves the bonds of dead skin cells, while natural willow bark extract works like a vacuum on excess oil. Apple fruit extract helps maintain barrier hydration, as antioxidant green tea soothes. Skin emerges fresh, bright, smooth and purified. 

AM + PM: Apply to wet skin and massage over face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse.
