Isntree Chestnut BHA 2% Clear Liquid 100ML

Description

• 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): As a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate deep into pores to dissolve sebum, dead skin cells, and other debris that lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts. This helps to unclog pores and prevent future acne. At a 2% concentration, it is highly effective for addressing these concerns.
• Chestnut Shell Extract: Derived from upcycled chestnut shells, this ingredient is rich in tannins. Tannins are known for their astringent properties, which help to tighten enlarged pores, reduce excess sebum production, and balance the skin’s oil-water levels, leading to a smoother, less shiny complexion.
• Mild Exfoliation & Cell Turnover: By removing dead skin cells and clearing out pores, this liquid promotes the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, revealing fresher, brighter skin and improving overall skin texture. It’s formulated to be gentle despite its effective exfoliating action.
• Hydrating: To counteract potential dryness often associated with exfoliants, it includes 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Hyaluronic Acid). These humectants draw and retain moisture in the skin, ensuring it remains hydrated, plump, and less prone to irritation.
• Soothing Ingredients: Contains Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (from licorice root) and Biosaccharide Gum-1, which offer soothing and moisturizing benefits, helping to calm the skin.
• Texture and Finish: It has a refreshing, watery liquid texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or oily residue.
• Suitable for: Primarily recommended for normal, combination, and oily skin types, especially those prone to acne, blackheads, enlarged pores, and excessive sebum. It is also often noted as “fungal acne safe.”
• “Clean” Formulation: Typically free from artificial fragrances, dyes, and parabens.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing: As the first step after cleansing your face, dispense an appropriate amount of the liquid onto a cotton pad or directly into your palm.
2. Apply: Gently wipe the cotton pad over your entire face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. If using your palms, gently pat the liquid into your skin until absorbed.
3. Frequency:
   • If you are new to BHA or have sensitive skin, start by using it 2-3 times a week.
   • Gradually increase the frequency as your skin adjusts, potentially moving to every other night or even nightly if your skin tolerates it well.
4. Sunscreen is essential: Always apply sunscreen during the day when using this product, as exfoliants can increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
5. Patch Test: It is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin before full facial application, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to chemical exfoliants.
6. Layering: Allow the product to fully absorb before proceeding with the next steps of your skincare routine (e.g., essence, serum, moisturizer).
