A great choice for acne-prone skin; a few products fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Offers high suitability for your combination skin, as lactic acid, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid provide effective keratolytic action and exfoliation to manage oiliness and improve texture.
- These acids also offer moderate exfoliation for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts by promoting skin resurfacing.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## What reviewers say

This exfoliating jelly mask is widely praised for delivering an "instant facial" effect, transforming dull and textured skin into a smoother, brighter complexion in just 2-3 minutes. Users with hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and aging concerns report visible improvements in tone and softness, though results are best maintained with weekly use. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

## How to apply

- Use this exfoliant PM once a week to start, and gradually increase if your combination skin tolerates it well. Always apply SPF the next morning to protect your clear skin.
- Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer step. This ensures the treatment targets blemishes effectively.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin without rubbing. Let it absorb for a minute before moving to the next step.
- Apply the exfoliant on clean, dry skin to help control breakouts safely. Since your skin is not sensitive, this dry application method ensures good product absorption.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Do not mix this exfoliant with other strong acids in the same routine.
