FAQ

What comes before and after it?
Use after cleansing and before your moisturiser.
Who is it for?
Oily skin and skin with blemishes.
Will it over-dry my skin?
It's designed to regulate sebum rather than strip the skin, but as with any exfoliating step, watch how your skin responds.
Can I use it with other actives?
Introduce any other acid slowly and see how your skin reacts, since this essence already contains salicylic acid and AHAs.
How often should I use it?
As a daily step in your routine, after cleansing.
