Key Ingredients
Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) – a prolific source of proteolytic enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids that act as exfoliating agents.
Salicylic Acid – a calming lipophilic beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps promote a clear complexion.
Lactic Acid – an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks down the bonds between cells (desmosomes) to allow for easier exfoliation of dead surface cells. It also hydrates the skin and inhibits melanogenesis by suppressing the formation of tyrosinase.
Gluconic Acid – an poly hydroxy acid (PHA) that is calming, moisturizing, and promotes a clear complexion.
Glutathione – an endogenous antioxidant that is produced naturally by the body
