The most clinically targeted product in the Eminence range. Encapsulated salicylic acid is the key feature — it releases over time rather than all at once, which delivers the same exfoliating action inside pores with markedly less irritation than standard BHA.
It also treats what acne leaves behind. Arbutin works on post-inflammatory marks, which for most people are the part that lasts longest.
Who it suits
Acne-prone skin specifically. If you get closed comedones, persistent congestion or dark marks after breakouts clear, this is formulated for exactly that.
What is in it, and why
- Encapsulated salicylic acid — beta-hydroxy acid delivering time-release exfoliation and unclogging pores
- Lotus extract — blue and sacred lotus; diminishes shine and reduces the look of blemishes
- Arbutin — helps reduce the appearance of acne-related hyperpigmentation and scarring
- Zinc hyaluronate — encourages hydration while improving the appearance of acne-related issues
How to use it
Apply a thin layer to cleansed skin. Start once daily in the evening and build to twice if your skin tolerates it. Salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is required.
What to pair it with
Use with a gentle cleanser and a daily mineral SPF. Browse Moisturizers, Cleansers and Mineral Sun Care.
