The formula, explained.
The ingredients behind this formula—and what they bring to your skin.
Glycolic and gluconic acids
Glycolic acid, the smallest AHA, smooths the skin’s surface and refines texture; gluconic acid adds a gentler, hydrating exfoliation.
Salicylic acid
An oil-soluble BHA that works inside the pore, helping to keep it clear and the skin looking less congested.
Kojic acid, arbutin and bearberry
Brightening ingredients that help the look of dark spots and marks for a more even, luminous complexion.
Ingredient imagery is illustrative. Explore the full ingredient list below.

Biophora Bioactive Gel
Biophora’s exfoliating, brightening gel for congested, oily or uneven skin. In the evening.
The one we reach for when skin is congested and the tone is uneven at the same time. Glycolic, gluconic, citric and salicylic acids smooth the surface and help keep pores clear, while kojic acid, arbutin, bearberry and licorice work on the look of dark spots. Skin looks clearer, brighter and more refined, with a smoother texture.
Benefits
- Smooths and refines the look of skin texture
- Salicylic acid helps keep pores clear and skin looking less congested
- Helps the look of dark spots and marks for a more even tone
- Soothing botanicals keep skin comfortable while the acids work
- A light, fast-absorbing gel for oily and combination skin
How to use
- Cleanse: Start with clean skin and pat it dry.
- Tone: Sweep on your toner and let it absorb.
- Smooth on Bioactive Gel: A small amount with your fingertips over the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. A slight tingle is normal.
- Protect in the morning: Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while you use exfoliating acids.
