What the brand claims
In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.
“Salicylic Acid 2% Masque combines salicylic acid, a lipophilic BHA, with charcoal and clay to address dullness and uneven texture. It helps clear pores by removing dead skin cells and excess oil while the clay and charcoal draw out impurities, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.”
