Overview

This product scores high due to strong scientific backing for its key actives in acne management.

LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid) uniquely offers gentle, sustained exfoliation at low doses (e.g., 0.05% in truncal acne gel trial, PMID: 36698447), complementing glycolic acid for surface renewal without deep penetratio
