Key benefits
- Smoothes and resurfaces rough texture through physical exfoliation with resurfacing crystals.
- Helps minimize the look of fine lines by delivering active ingredients during activation.
- Brightens and evens skin tone by incorporating vitamin C and peptide delivery in the activating phase.
- Provides a visible foaming action during activation that indicates product engagement on the skin.
- Designed as a dual-phase system for simultaneous exfoliation and nourishment in one treatment.
Ingredients and how they help you
- Activating gel: water, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and other components work together to stimulate and help the skin absorb vitamin C and peptides as the foam forms.
- Crystals: peg-6, sodium bicarbonate, oleth-20, glyceryl stearate SE, silica, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (a vitamin C derivative), and other emollients. These crystals physically exfoliate the skin to smooth texture and prep it for active delivery.
- Vitamin C and peptides are delivered during the activation phase, supporting skin nourishment and a more even tone as the product sits on the skin.
Usage and suitability
Follow the included product instructions for proper usage. Use is described as a step-by-step procedure: first apply the vitamin C/peptide resurfacing crystals, then apply the lactic/salicylic acid activating gel to activate the foaming action. The foaming indicates activation and helps infuse vitamin C and peptides into the skin. Rinse thoroughly after the recommended contact time. If you have sensitive skin, use less pressure during the crystal massage and adjust the duration as advised in the instructions.
