Do not use in the same routine as other exfoliating products or retinol.
In all our formulas, the % levels of our ingredients have been mindfully chosen to be at the optimum levels for impact individually as well as being able to work in synergy to deliver visible results whilst being gentle enough for all skin types.
Gentle but effective impact…
+3% Mandelic acid…
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that has a larger molecular size than glycolic acid therefore doesn’t penetrate the skin as much and as such has much less potential to cause irritation, making it more user friendly for even sensitive skin, supported synergistically by…
+0.5% Phytic acid…
Derived from rice bran, a rich source of phytic acid which acts as a gentle chemical exfoliant as well as being a powerful antioxidant
+2.5% Gluconolactone…
A naturally derived polyhydroxy acid (PHA), that provides super mild exfoliation due to it’s large size (like mandelic acid). It has the ability to support skin barrier protection against other irritants as well as acting as a humectant and holding onto water in the skin, thus reducing Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
+0.5% SALICYLIC ACID…
This is an encapsulated form of salicylic acid, with in vivo studies showing that it has less irritation on the skin versus the potential standard salicylic acid without compromising on efficacy i.e. exfoliating the oil layer of the skin and unclogging pores
Added benefits…
+2.928% Annona Cherimola fruit extract…
This is a great ingredient for sensitive skin. It will help to counteract the drying or irritant potential of using chemical exfoliants, making this accessible to users with sensitive skin. At these inclusion levels, in-vivo studies showed that users who have a compromised skin barrier experienced significantly less skin discomfort
+10% Propanediol
Supports additional moisturization and reduced TEWL
