Liquid Exfoliant with Salicylic Acid
A leave-on salicylic acid treatment. Good for someone dealing with clogged pores or uneven texture who wants something simple.
$37
This is a 2% salicylic acid liquid you apply and leave on — no rinsing. You can use your fingers or a cotton pad. It fits easily into most routines.
Start every other day and work up to twice daily if your skin tolerates it. Use sunscreen during the day when you're using this.
Salicylic acid can irritate some people. If that happens, rinse it off and stop using it. Not the right gift for someone with very sensitive skin unless they've used BHA before.

- Simple to use: apply with fingers or a cotton pad.
Who it's for

- A person who wants a straightforward, non-fussy skincare step.
What to know
