Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

Squalane:
A skin-supporting lipid that helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil while maintaining moisture and softness.

7% Glycolic Acid:
An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that exfoliates dead surface skin cells to improve texture, smoothness, and overall brightness.

Niacinamide (10%):
A form of Vitamin B3 that helps visibly improve skin smoothness, brightness, and excess oil balance over time.

Zinc PCA:
A mineral compound that works alongside Niacinamide to help reduce visible shine and support clearer-looking skin.
