Formula Features:

- 2 Peptides including a Clearing Peptide and Preservative Peptide improve skin clarity - An antimicrobial peptide that causes lethal osmotic imbalance within acne bacteria while neutralizing pro-inflammatory bacterial components (by binding to LTA) and reducing redness. This peptide has been shown to exhibit excellent activity against p-acne bacterium alone but found to be more effective in combinations with low levels salicylic acid. This allows for an opening of pores to allow oxygen in while enabling oligopeptide-10 into the pores for maximum performance without irritation. A 0.5% combination of Oligopeptide-10 with 0.5% salicylic acid was shown to be 40% more effective in reduction in comedones, irritation, pustules and papules after 28 days than a leading benzoyl peroxide brand. 61% of panelist with moderate acne reported improvement with 6 days and 47% in 3 days. 75% of patients improved clinically while 85% noted complexion improvement.

Used to treat the appearance of dry damaged skin, reducing dry patches/flaking and restoring suppleness.
- Mandelic acid, an AHA derived from almonds with antibacterial properties and larger in size which allows it to penetrates dermis more slowly and uniformly, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin and pigmentation. Speeds skin cell turnover, sloughing dead cells and enhancing skin complexion and glow. More gentle for rosacea (or older skin) and shown to promote rejuvenation without skin irritation or erythema. Useful in suppressing pigmentation, treating inflammatory noncytic acne, and rejuvenating photoaged skin. Useful in prepping skin for laser peeling and in helping the skin heal after laser surgery. Treats Fitzpatrick types I though VI without any post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Combination of mandelic with salicylic led to a significant improvement in acne reduction and more effective than glycolic alone.
