Key Benefits

• Texture Smoothing & Refinement: Dissolves the microscopic bonds holding dead skin cells together, noticeably softening rough patches and bumps.
• Brightening & Tone Correction: Fades the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and post-blemish marks to promote a more luminous, even skin tone.
• Scalp & Body Versatility: Clarifies the scalp to reduce flaking and buildup, and targets body concerns like rough elbows, cracked heels, or keratosis pilaris (strawberry skin).

Hero Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid (7%): An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a small molecular size that deeply penetrates the skin surface to accelerate cellular turnover.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry: A botanical extract that changes color seasonally, giving the formula its subtle, natural amber hue while actively calming irritation.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water: A classic, soothing humectant that delivers instant cooling moisture to prevent post-acid dryness.
• Panax Ginseng Root Extract: A traditional herbal antioxidant that boosts skin vitality, targets dullness, and enhances natural radiance.

Suitable For

• Skin Types: Best suited for oily, combination, and normal skin types. Not recommended for sensitive, peeling, compromised, or highly reactive skin.
• Skin Concerns: Dullness, uneven skin tone, structural texture irregularities, clogged pores, and rough body or scalp buildup.
• Contraindications: Do not use on active breakouts, open wounds, or eczema. Avoid mixing in the exact same routine with Retinoids, Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), Copper Peptides, or other strong direct acids.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Wash your face thoroughly and pat the skin completely dry. Do not apply this toner to damp skin.
2. Apply: Saturate a cotton pad with the solution and sweep it gently across your face and neck. Avoid the delicate eye area and direct contact with your eyes. Do not rinse off.
3. Hydrate: Follow up immediately with a hydrating serum (like Hyaluronic Acid) and a nourishing moisturizer to seal in hydration.
   • Frequency: Use ideally in the evening routine. The brand states it can be used once daily, but beginners should start 2 to 3 times a week to build skin tolerance.
   • Sunscreen Warning: This product contains an AHA that increases sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limit direct sun exposure for a week after use.
