Benton AC BHA Foam Cleansing 120ml

Benton AC BHA Foam Cleansing combines salicylic acid with sulfur, two ingredients aimed squarely at blemish prone skin, built on a gentler sodium cocoyl isethionate and sodium cocoyl glutamate surfactant base rather than a harsh, stripping one. Centella asiatica extract and houttuynia cordata extract work to calm the skin while the BHA and sulfur address congestion, and tea tree leaf oil adds a further purifying layer.
