🔥Hot Take:
- The speaker correctly identifies the science: BHA is oil-soluble and targets pores, while AHA handles surface texture. It's a textbook explanation of chemical exfoliation.
- While the 'Anti-Sebum P' complex is a branded marketing term, the functional heavy lifting is done by the Salicylic Acid, which is a gold-standard dermatological ingredient.

Claim Breakdown
🎯 Truth Rating: A+ 😍
📝 Why: This is factually correct. AHAs like lactic acid break down the 'glue' between skin cells to smooth texture, while BHAs are lipophilic (oil-soluble), allowing them to penetrate sebum-filled pores to clear congestion as described by the speaker.
