Star Ingredients

Let's take a peek at the powerhouse ingredients that make this essence so effective:

  • Glycolic Acid (4%): A powerful AHA that excels at exfoliating the skin's surface, fading hyperpigmentation, and smoothing fine lines.
  • Lactic Acid (4%): A gentler AHA that not only exfoliates but also has moisturizing properties, making it great for improving skin tone and texture.
  • Chestnut Shell Extract: Rich in tannins, this natural extract is known for its ability to help tighten pores and control excess oil production.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: A hydration hero that draws moisture into the skin, helping to keep it plump, soothed, and balanced during the exfoliation process.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, dispense a proper amount onto a cotton pad or your palms. Gently sweep or pat across the entire face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer.

Frequency: PM

Expert Tips & Pairings

Want to get the most out of your essence? Here are a few friendly tips:

  • Always Use SPF: AHAs can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single morning—no excuses!
  • Start Slow: If you're new to chemical exfoliants, introduce this essence slowly. Start by using it just 2-3 times a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
  • Listen to Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin feels. If you experience any irritation, reduce the frequency of use. A slight tingle is normal, but redness or stinging is a sign to pull back.
