Chemist's Notes:
Reviewed by April Basi, cosmetic chemist.
Lactic acid at 4.5% in a leave-on pad is a functional exfoliant dose — enough to make a real difference in texture and tone with consistent use. The salicylic acid is at 0.45% which is just under the 0.5% threshold, so pore-clearing benefits will be mild, but paired with betaine salicylate further down the list you're getting a dual BHA effect that adds up. One thing to flag for sensitive skin: this formula contains multiple citrus essential oils including bergamot, lemon, and lime, which can be photosensitizing — if you're using these in the morning, sunscreen is non-negotiable.
