FAQ

Which ingredients help acne-prone skin in masks?

How is this list ordered?

Grades come from the ingredient studies themselves, checked down to the papers; an ingredient listed past the 1% line counts for less. This is an order of ingredient evidence and label position, not a promise that a product works, and no brand pays to move up.

How much Salicylic Acid does a product need?

Studies that saw an effect used Salicylic Acid at 0.5–2%. Where a label prints no amount, each product page estimates the chance it holds that much from its label position.
