๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

A complex of Carnitine (a sebum metabolizer) and Salicylic Acid (a pore clearer). It acts as a highly targeted exfoliant for extremely oily, congested skin.

๐Ÿ’– Why your skin loves it

Dramatically reduces oil production, clears blackheads, and refines texture.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Perfect for thick, oily skin that standard BHA cannot penetrate.
