Arginine conditions. The minimal, clean formula contains just 10 effective ingredients . no unnecessary fillers. Free from parabens, sulphates, artificial colours, fragrances, alcohol, mineral oil, essential oils, and silicone.

Pro tip: This is the BHA counterpart to the AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid . use the BHA for deep pore concerns (blackheads, sebaceous filaments, oiliness) and the AHA for surface concerns (whiteheads, dullness, texture). The betaine salicylate formulation is gentler than pure salicylic acid, making it tolerable for more skin types. Apply after the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner for enhanced absorption. For stubborn blackheads on the nose, try the "50 grits" method: apply this liquid, wait 15 minutes, then gently massage with an oil cleanser to dissolve the loosened sebum plugs.
