Product Overview

• Skin type: All skin types

Detailed Description

This everyday cleanser combines Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals from UV exposure, with Glycolic Acid (AHA), which loosens and sloughs away dead skin cells for clearer, more even-toned skin. Allantoin and Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) are included to soothe and hydrate as the formula cleanses, keeping the combination of exfoliation and brightening comfortable rather than stripping.
