Hero Ingredients

• 7% Glycolic Acid: A powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that dissolves dead skin cell bonds to resurface and brighten skin.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry: A plant-derived active that visually minimizes redness and soothes inflammation associated with acid use.
• Aloe Vera & Ginseng: Botanical extracts that provide immediate hydration and boost natural skin radiance.
• Amino Acids: Texturizing nutrients like Alanine and Arginine that support skin barrier health and maintain moisture.

Key Benefits

• Smoother Texture: Rapidly exfoliates rough patches, uneven bumps, and small closed comedones.
• Brighter Complexion: Clear away surface dullness to reveal a noticeably radiant, luminous glow.
• Even Skin Tone: Helps fade stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and post-acne dark marks over time.
• Multi-Use Performance: Effectively targets flaky scalps, body odor, and rough keratosis pilaris (strawberry legs).

How to Use

• Nighttime Only: Apply strictly during your evening routine after thoroughly cleansing your face.
• Dry Application: Ensure your skin is completely dry before applying; wet skin can increase penetration and cause burning.
• Saturate or Press: Apply using a saturated cotton pad or gently pat a few drops directly onto your skin with your hands.
• Avoid Key Areas: Do not apply near the delicate eye contour, eyelids, or lips.
• Leave-On Formula: Do not rinse it off; follow up directly with a basic hydrating moisturizer.

Safety Notes & Warnings

• Sunburn Alert: This product contains an AHA that drastically increases sun sensitivity. You must apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limit sun exposure while using it.
• Product Conflicts: Do not mix or layer this formula in the same routine with retinoids, direct Vitamin C, copper peptides, or other strong exfoliating acids.
• Limit Frequency: Do not use this toner more than once per day; beginners should start with 2 to 3 nights per week to prevent over-exfoliation.
• Contraindications: Do not use on hyper-sensitive, peeling, broken, or compromised skin barriers. Always perform a patch test on a small area before full application.
