What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply a small amount to dry skin, then follow with a moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use.
• PM: Cleanse, apply to face and neck as part of your evening routine; can be used alone or layered before a moisturiser or serum.
• Begin every other night to build tolerance, then increase frequency as skin adjusts.
• Do not mix multiple strong exfoliants at the same time; if you use prescription exfoliants or retinoids, introduce changes slowly and consult a clinician if unsure.

Why it works

• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) — help loosen and remove surface dead skin, improving texture and radiance.
• Glycolic acid — a small-molecule AHA that assists in smoothing rough areas and refining skin feel.
• Citric acid — supports skin clarity and contributes antioxidant support to help with overall tone.
• Formulated to be non-comedogenic and lightweight so it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

What to expect

• Some users notice a mild smoothing effect within a few weeks of consistent use; more evident improvements in texture and tone can appear over several weeks.
• Initial mild tingling is common when first using exfoliants; if you experience persistent stinging, redness or peeling, reduce frequency or stop use and seek advice.
• Exfoliating ingredients can increase sun sensitivity; use sunscreen during the day and limit prolonged sun exposure.

Good to know

• Patch-test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding or using prescription topical treatments.
• Discontinue if irritation persists and seek medical advice if necessary.
