KEY INGREDIENTS

Glycolic acid: provides exfoliation for the skin. It stimulates the production of new skin cells while also binding moisture to the skin. Glycolic acid is the most researched AHA and hold the most proven skin benefits. It gently removes dead skin cells from the skin by dissolving the “glue” that binds them to healthy skin cells. Firmer, youthful and brighter skin tone can be achieved with the use of glycolic acid because it is found to stimulate the skins own collagen production and effectively fade brown spots and pigmentation.

Glycerin: a natural moisturiser that is also found in our skin, this is a common and safe ingredient that has been around in cosmetics for many years. It works to keep the lipids between our skin happy and healthy resulting in a protected and strong skin barrier.

Lactic acid: also an AHA this is the second most researched and studied AHA after glycolic acid. It removes dead skin cells from the skin and pores to reveal a healthy and fresh glow while keeping the skin moisturised.

Aloe Leaf Extract: has moisturising, emollient and anti-inflammatory properties.
