Bisabolol

Bisabolol

Bisabolol helps heal chronic wounds, reduces surface area, and visibly brightens pigmented skin. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and comes in serums, creams, sunscreens, and cleansers. It fits smoothly into a routine because it works well with glycolic acid, AHA blend glycolic and citric acids, and salicylic acid.
