Skin Republic Spots + Blemish

Tea tree and salicylic acid help cleanse the skin’s pores and clear spots. Witch hazel assists in tightening pores. These ingredients remove pore-clogging oil, reduce shine and redness without over-drying, helping to maintain a healthy and clear complexion.

Tea tree: Studies have shown that tea tree oil is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide in reducing acne. It is a natural alternative for curing acne, without negative side effects like reddening and peeling of the skin. It also reduces sebum production and eliminates excess oil. Tea tree oil is an excellent skin treatment, especially for oily and acne-prone skin. Additionally, tea tree has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties and is an antioxidant.

Salicylic acid: This multifunctional ingredient addresses many of the systemic causes of acne. For decades, dermatologists have been prescribing salicylic acid as a gentle exfoliant and anti-inflammatory. Salicylic acid’s antimicrobial properties make it extremely effective at treating breakouts. It can penetrate into the pore lining and exfoliate both inside the pore and on the surface of the skin, making it effective for reducing breakouts, including blackheads and whiteheads. It is also well documented that salicylic acid can improve skin thickness, barrier function, and collagen production.

Witch hazel is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients and offers a variety of skin benefits. It not only helps with controlling water loss but is also an excellent astringent. It helps to stabilize the barrier function of the skin, reducing redness and providing antioxidant properties.
