โ˜… 9.4
Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Aiken
Tea Tree Oil Pimple Gel
Treatment

An incredibly robust, multi-acid acne treatment gel. By combining Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Mandelic Acid with pure Tea Tree Oil, it forcefully digests the keratin plug blocking the pore while simultaneously neutralizing the bacterial infection. What sets it apart is the massive inclusion of Cica extracts (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid) and Vitamin C to completely suppress the redness and prevent the pimple from leaving a dark brown scar smoothly.

Vita-C Bright Exfoliating Water
Aiken
Vita-C Bright Exfoliating Water
Toner

A highly functional hybrid acid toner. It merges the gentle chemical exfoliation of Lactic Acid and Mandelic Acid with the pore-clearing power of Salicylic Acid. By buffering these acids with Betaine and Panthenol, it successfully refines skin texture without destroying the moisture barrier. The inclusion of Ascorbyl Glucoside and Niacinamide provides a rapid brightening effect for dull profiles.

Niacinamide 5% Serum
The Raw.
Niacinamide 5% Serum
Serum

A highly sophisticated, multi-pathway acne treatment serum that goes beyond basic Niacinamide. The Raw balances a clinical 5 percent dose of Niacinamide with a highly calculated acid cocktail (Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid). This allows the serum to control sebum, fade post-acne marks, and gently clear clogged pores simultaneously without severe barrier stripping. The immense botanical load (Green Tea, Centella, Licorice) ensures that localized redness is actively suppressed during the chemical exfoliation phase safely.
