- Raspberry extract and horse chestnut help curb excess oiliness and improve clarity and luminosity.
- The formulation supports maximum absorption by prepping the skin, so other products work more effectively.
- Delivers a measurable level of exfoliation without harsh dryness or strong sensitization when used as directed.
- Patch testing and a slow introduction (starting every other night) helps minimize initial tingling as your skin adjusts.
Key ingredients and what they do for you
- Glycolic Acid — an AHA that helps dissolve dead skin cells on the surface for a brighter, more even complexion.
- Lactic Acid — another AHA that smooths texture and supports gentle exfoliation.
- Tartaric and Citric Acids — provide additional exfoliation while helping to refine tone and clarity.
- Salicylic Acid — a BHA that targets congested pores and supports a clearer skin surface.

- Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract — helps reduce excess oiliness and supports a balanced appearance.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer — helps maintain hydration and improve texture as the acids work on exfoliation.
- Plant extracts and soothing components — help minimize potential irritation associated with AHAs when properly formulated at pH 3.8.
