Glycolic acid is also a potent treatment to effectively fight against blackheads (read the notes above before use).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe actives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlycolic acid (10%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlycolic acid is an exfoliating powerhouse for the upper layers of the skin and has astringent (pore tightening) and pore-cleansing properties. This then helps reduce the presence of blackheads, caused by the accumulation of sebum in the pores.\nGlycolic acid is the best known peel for the superficial layer of the skin. Dead cells bound together are found on the surface of the epidermis. Glycolic acid works by breaking up these bonds, making it easy to remove them. Thus, the skin is left with a rejuvenated, unified and toned upper layer.\nIn addition to its peeling effect, glycolic acid also moisturises due to its stimulating effect on cell renewal and hyaluronic acid synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMastic pistachio extract (2%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mastic tree as its known, grows on arid, rocky soils in the Mediterranean region. Its extract tightens pores, reduces shine and has an anti-comedogenic action. In other words, it reduces the appearance of blackheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlpha-Bisabolol (0.2%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerived from candeia bark, alpha bisabolol is known for its anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory effects. As glycolic acid can be irritating, it is important to also include soothing active ingredients to avoid inflammation of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChamomile extract (2%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChamomile is known for its ability to soothe and repair skin, thanks to its matricin and bisabolol components.
