BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

A powerful yet gentle chemical exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve blackheads and sebum build-up, while also calming inflammation and supporting the skin's moisture barrier.

Oily skin I–VI

The BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is a vegan, cruelty-free, and alcohol-free chemical exfoliator that targets blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores without irritating the skin. Formulated with Betaine Salicylate (a gentle form of BHA) and White Willow Bark extract, it works to deeply exfoliate and clear out pores while Niacinamide and Panthenol help brighten and strengthen the skin. This liquid exfoliant also includes Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration, making it suitable for daily use even on sensitive skin. Regular use promotes smoother texture, tighter pores, and a clearer complexion.
