Birchbox Breakdown
Unless you won the genetic lottery, chances are you’ll be battling occasional pimples long into adulthood. Whenever you feel blemishes emerging, strike back with this organic fruit acid-based serum. Not only does it unclog your pores, but it also lightens scars, sunspots, and any other discoloration.
How it Works
This organic formula is a vast improvement over your run-of-the-mill drugstore acne products, which can irritate your skin with drying benzyl peroxide, petroleum glycols, artificial dyes, and fragrances. The key ingredient is a natural dose of salicylic acid, derived from willow bark, which purifies pores and shrinks even the fiercest pimples. Other actives include brightening Vitamin C, CoQ10 and organic fruit acids. To top it off, aloe, which soothes irritation; detoxifying dandelion leaf, lemon balm leaf, and sage leaf extracts are also in this serum.
How to Use
Morning and night smooth a thin layer of the serum all over your face to fade scarring and prevent breakouts. You can also use it as a targeted spot treatment on existing zits.
