Niacinamide: Gentle Skin-Clearing Multi-Tasker

Also known as vitamin B3 and found in foods such as tomatoes, this skin-clearing powerhouse helps to gently and visibly erase imperfections, unclog oily pores and minimize uneven skin tone that can be left behind after breakouts by improving skin’s moisture barrier.

A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), salicylic acid is a non-prescription treatment for acne and oil-prone skin. It quickly and effectively exfoliates and removes dead skin which can clog pores and cause breakouts. Because it is oil-soluble, salicylic acid is easily absorbed into pores for targeted, more effective results.
