Salicylic acid versus seboclear
The difference between the two products is found within the ingredient list.
Our Skin Perfector 2% BHA is formulated with salicylic acid sourced from willow bark extract; an oil-soluble ingredient renowned for its ability to dissolve build-up to decongest clogged pores and prevent breakouts.
One of our Skin Perfector Seboclear’s key ingredients is, you guessed it, seboclear. This oil-soluble ingredient is extracted from cockspur thorn, and is therefore not classified as an acid. It’s beloved for its ability to gently exfoliate the skin while regulating the skin’s microbiome and sebum production to promote healthy processes within the skin while preventing breakouts from forming.
Why should I choose Skin Perfector Seboclear?
Seboclear is a milder type of exfoliant that offers the same benefits as BHA. Due to its gentleness, the product is pregnancy-safe, as well as an optimal choice for sensitive skin types, or for those new to skincare acids.
During pregnancy, many experience hormonal fluctuations that can lead to changes in the skin, such as breakouts, discoloration, and recurring impurities. But in their search for possible remedies, many will discover that the choices are limited, as many ingredients and beauty products are not recommended for use during pregnancy. But thanks to its gentle formula and purposeful ingredient blend, you can safely reach for Skin Perfector Seboclear during pregnancy, which will effectively help keep your skin smooth, luminous, and even-toned. Moreover, this power product is the perfect choice for those wanting to obtain the multiple benefits of exfoliating, even though their skin is sensitive.
Why should I choose Skin Perfector 2% BHA?
Our Skin Perfector 2% BHA is especially suitable for oily and breakout-prone skin thanks to the addition of deeply exfoliating salicylic acid. With its breakout-busting ability to decongest clogged pores while dissolving build-up of dead skin cells, excess oil and shine, and impurity-causing bacteria, you’re in for clarifying results with this one.
The common denominators
When it comes to skincare, it’s the ingredients that leave us coming back for more – so we couldn’t mention these two products without highlighting their common key ingredients that indulge our skin time after time.
Vitamin C: Brightens dark spots and uneven skin tone, helps boost the skin’s natural collagen production, and neutralizes skin-damaging free radicals to prevent premature signs of aging and other negative effects.
Low- & high-weighted hyaluronic molecules: Now, what does it mean that the molecules are low- and high-weighted? It's all about absorption. While high-weighted hyaluronic molecules apply moisture to the skin’s outermost layers, low-weighted hyaluronic molecules have the ability to dive deep into the skin layers to deliver long-lasting moisture. The result is super supple skin inside out.
Put shortly
Our Skin Perfector 2% BHA is especially suitable for combined, oily plus breakout-prone and maturing skin.
Our Skin Perfector Seboclear is especially suitable for sensitive and normal skin (and pregnancy-safe).
