Gentle exfoliation for smoother, brighter-looking skin.
If stronger exfoliating acids have left your skin feeling more irritated than refreshed, this serum takes a gentler approach.
Instead of relying on harsher acids, it uses PHA (Gluconolactone) to lift away dead skin cells while helping your skin stay hydrated. It's a great option if you're looking to smooth rough texture, improve dullness or keep pores feeling clearer without overdoing it.
PHAs are often described as the gentler cousin of AHAs. Unlike many exfoliating acids, they also work as humectants, meaning they attract water to the skin while exfoliating. That makes them a popular choice for anyone who wants smoother skin without the dryness stronger acids can sometimes cause.
The formula also contains Centella Asiatica, along with its naturally occurring active compounds, including Madecassoside and Asiaticoside. Together, they help calm irritation and support a healthy skin barrier, making this a particularly good option for skin that doesn't tolerate stronger exfoliants.
Hydration comes from Sodium Hyaluronate, while Ectoin helps protect the skin from environmental stress and supports long-lasting moisture.
If blackheads, rough texture or dullness are your main concerns, consistency is key. This isn't the kind of exfoliating serum that transforms your skin overnight. PHAs work gradually, gently removing dead skin cells over time. With regular use, skin can become smoother, brighter and more even, without the irritation stronger exfoliants can sometimes cause.
Skin feels smoother, looks brighter and stays comfortable throughout the process.

How to use
How to use
1. Start with clean, dry skin
Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier serums or moisturisers.
2. Use a small amount
Apply a thin layer over your face or focus on areas prone to congestion and uneven texture.
3. Let it absorb
Allow the serum to absorb before continuing with the rest of your routine.
4. Build up gradually
If you're new to exfoliating acids, start by using it 2–3 nights a week. Once your skin is happy with it (aka. no breakouts in sight) you can reduce to 1–2 times weekly for maintenance.
Always wear sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating products.
