Editor Feedback:
“I’m still getting to know my skin post-Accutane, and while my chronic hormonal breakouts are long gone, I still deal with blemishes here and there. This has been a lifesaver for putting those pesky pimples in their place overnight without irritation.” —Isabelle Buneo, editorial assistant
Key Ingredients:
The brand’s proprietary Carrotene IPMP restricts acne-causing bacteria in the pores while salicylic and polyhydroxy acids gently exfoliate skin and clear clogged pores. Centella asiatica enhances the skin's natural ability to heal, and zinc oxide and niacinamide control sebum production and fade post-acne pigmentations.
Expert Insight:
“Formulated with anti-inflammatory Carrotene IPMP, this lightweight clearing solution targets acne-causing bacteria, calms irritation, and reinforces the skin barrier for visibly clearer, balanced skin without over-drying." —Lyla Chang, head of U.S. marketing department for APR (APRILSKIN)
