Side Effects:
-Irritation: Possible redness, stinging, or burning sensation upon application.

-Allergic Reactions: Rarely, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction leading to hives or swelling.
Main Ingredients and Their Benefits:
-Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.
- Lactic acid, another AHA, hydrates the skin while providing gentle exfoliation, making it effective for improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
- Tartaric acid acts as an AHA that helps to enhance the exfoliating effects of other acids while also providing antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage.
-Citric acid is a natural AHA that aids in brightening the skin tone and improving overall texture by promoting exfoliation and acting as an antioxidant.
-Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its ability to penetrate pores and dissolve excess oil, making it particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin by preventing breakouts.
-Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer is a form of hyaluronic acid that provides deep hydration to the skin, helping to maintain moisture levels and improve elasticity without clogging pores.
- Tasmannia lanceolata extract possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can soothe irritated skin and enhance overall skin health.
