Salicylic Acid is a form of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and a real powerhouse blemish-fighting ingredient, which is why we’ve included it in all of our Pure Skin products. It deeply cleanses and purifies the skin by removing dead skin cells and penetrating deeper into the pores to unclog them. This combined with its antimicrobial properties creates an effective action on existing blemishes but also helps prevent new blemishes from forming.

To make our products kinder to the skin, we have added a Soothing Complex of Basil, Green Tea and Panthenol to our products that helps calm blemish prone skin.

• Panthenol – is very moisturising, soothing and helps soften the skin. It also aids in skin regeneration which makes it a powerful ingredient to help alleviate blemishes, red spots and stressed skin.
  
• Basil – Antioxidant-rich with a calming effect on the skin. Vitamin C in Basil extract helps soothe stressed skin that occurs when blemishes are forming.
  
• Green Tea – Rich in nutrients that help soothe blemishes, protect the skin barrier and make skin feel comfortable.
  

Gluconolactone, a kind of PHA is an acid similar to Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), with the same great benefits as AHAs but gentler to the skin. It has antibacterial properties that help prevent blemishes. It effectively clears the skin’s surface of dead skin cells to reveal fresh new skin underneath, which helps reduce existing blemishes and fade blemish marks. PHA has also been shown to soothe congested skin, so you don’t have to worry about it being too harsh on your skin!
