The products in this skincare line contain a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, both ingredients are extremely effective at minimising the appearance and size of pores, reducing the possibility of future breakouts from occurring. Additionally, Soluzyl Technology is used to eliminate bacteria that irritates the skin, which will help to reduce acne breakouts.
