Key ingredients

  • Glycolic Acid
    Is naturally found in sugar cane, which has a small molecular size that allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin to target a variety of skin concerns. Glycolic Acid assists in unclogging pores, refining and diminishing the appearance of enlarged pores.
  • Lactic Acid
    Part of the Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) group, is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid, which is found in many foods. This gentle exfoliant works by breaking down the structure of dead skin cells without causing sensitivity.
  • Amino Acids
    Small proteins which bind to acids for a slow release of the acid.

First time user, I'm glad the reviews motivated me to get myself one, it's my 3rd week using product and I'm loving it. My go to exfoliator going forward.

This exfoliator is amazing. You may feel a tingle on application, but that disappears quickly and you know it's working. After washing off I feel like I have a new layer of skin. Amazing glow and after a few uses my skin evened out and the texture is soft and smooth. I use the Vitamin C (mornings) and Retinol (evenings) serums too, and the combination of the three has completely transformed by skin. Absolute essential structure of a skincare routine, and this brand is simply magic!

My favorite exfoliator to date. Just follow instructions on the bottle as see your skin glow. I normally exfoliate twice a week, so I use this one once a week for 10min and wash it off, then the SF exfoliate 1 (lactic acid one) on the other day of my twice a week exfoliation. I really love this exfoliator. I was worried since I have combination dry skin that it would worsen with use, and nothing of such happened. My skin is smooth and getting more even with use. I have just started my 2nd bottle. I will always have this exfoliator, and I highly recommend it
