Because BHAs are oil-soluble, they can get into the pores to loosen the oil and debris behind blackheads and congestion, which is why it helps refine texture and keep pores clearer with daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea tree leaf oil\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a calming note often used on blemish-prone skin, and saccharomyces ferment (a fermented yeast filtrate) brings amino acids that support a healthy, fresh-looking complexion.

Pat dry and continue with the rest of your routine. Use morning and night. In the evening, if you've worn sunscreen or makeup, cleanse with an oil or balm first, then follow with this.
