KEY INGREDIENTS
- Glycolic, mandelic, lactic, tartaric and citric acids: A blend of AHA alpha-hydroxy acids, with different molecular weights and properties, that effectively remove dead surface cells, cleanse clogged pores, reduce inflamed breakouts and smooth the appearance of rough skin, leaving it luminous.
- Glycolic Acid: This is the most researched type of alpha hydroxy acid. It acts as an exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and renews the skin's surface. It has been found to visibly soften signs of aging caused by the sun.
- Mandelic Acid: This form of AHA is a particularly large molecule, so it does not penetrate deep into the skin. Therefore, it exfoliates with less risk of irritation.
- Lactic Acid: Large molecule AHA that exfoliates the surface of the skin by breaking down the material that holds dead skin together (desmosomes); helps lighten uneven skin tone, hydrates, and is an effective alternative for sensitive skin.
- Tartaric Acid: This AHA, which has antioxidant properties, comes from fermented grapes and is added to glycolic or lactic acid to reinforce its desquamative action. Its main benefit is to regulate the pH of the formula.
- Citric Acid: This AHA comes from citrus fruits and serves to keep other acids in a safe pH range. It removes irritating impurities from the surface of the skin, preventing them from penetrating the skin.
- Australian Lime Extract Caviar: A fruit acid that brightens and softens the skin. Perfect for sensitive skin.
- Tamanu oil: A nut oil native to the South Pacific that helps the skin to heal and regenerate.
- Rosehip oil: Packed with vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids that help moisturize the skin and protect it from environmental damage.
- Aloe vera: Can counteract possible acid irritation by helping to soothe the skin and reduce redness.
