What it is

How to use

• Frequency: 2–3 times per week, or less if you notice sensitivity.
• PM routine: Cleanse, apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently in circular motions avoiding the eye area, leave on for 5–10 minutes if tolerated, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a moisturiser.
• AM routine: If used in the morning, rinse well and apply a moisturiser plus broad‑spectrum SPF—daily sun protection is important after exfoliation.
• Patch test before first use and avoid broken or inflamed skin.

Why it works

• Glycolic acid (AHA): Helps loosen dead skin cells to smooth surface texture and improve clarity.
• Lactobionic acid (PHA): A gentler acid that supports exfoliation while helping skin hydration and comfort.
• Microfine alumina crystals: Provide physical polishing to help refine roughness and assist pore cleansing.
• Oil- and paraben-free base: Formulated to reduce risk of pore-clogging and suit combination to oily skin.

What to expect

• You may notice softer, smoother skin after the first use.
• With regular use over several weeks, expect gradual improvements in texture and brightness; adjust frequency if you experience irritation.

Good to know

• Always patch test a small area 24–48 hours before full use.
• Avoid using other strong acids or retinoids in the same session to reduce irritation risk.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have specific skin conditions, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Stop use and seek advice if persistent redness, burning or discomfort occurs.
