Occlusive facial mask with Both AHA (Glycolic Acid) and BHA (Salicylic acid). Also contains Sodium Hyaluronate.
AHAs are weak acids that may improve the appearance of the skin, used to treat:
- acne
- hyperpigmentation (patches of darker skin)
- roughness
- sun-damaged skin
- age spots
- seborrhea (rash with red and itchy spots and white scales)
People use BHAs (in this case, 2% Salicylic acid) to improve the skin’s overall texture.
It acts as an exfoliant - removes dead skin cells and helps cleanse the skin. It regulates sebum production - thus acts as a prevention against acne. It can unclog clogged pores and prevent the formation of blackheads.
It can gradually improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darker skin), roughness, sun-damaged
skin, age spots, seborrhea (rash with red and itchy spots and white scales) and thus improves the skin’s overall texture.
AHAs and BHAs both work as exfoliants, but they work in different ways.
AHAs work by reducing the concentration of Calcium ions in the skin. This promotes the shedding of skin cells at the surface.
BHAs are also a skin peeling agent, but Salicylic acid has additional antibacterial actions, making it excellent to use against Acne.

Please note that this is not a cream - it is an occusive mask made of an absorbing layer drenched in a "cosmeceutical" lotion, with an occlusive layer with holes for eyes, nose and mouth.
