Star Ingredients

This crimson-hued formula is powered by a precise blend of acids and soothing agents to deliver results while helping to comfort your skin.

• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): A blend of Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric, and Citric acids that work on the skin's surface to slough away dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more even complexion.
• Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA): As Salicylic Acid, this oil-soluble acid exfoliates inside the pores to help clear out congestion and prevent breakouts.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry: A plant-derived ingredient known for its soothing properties, which helps to reduce the potential for irritation often associated with direct acid use.
• Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin B5: This duo works to hydrate and comfort the skin during the treatment, supporting the skin's natural healing process.

How to Use

Apply a small, even layer to clean, completely dry skin, avoiding the eye area and lips. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not use on wet, broken, or compromised skin.

Expert Tips & Pairings

This is a very potent product! To get the best results safely, keep these friendly tips in mind:

• Patch Test First!: Because of its high acid concentration, always perform a patch test before applying it to your entire face to ensure your skin is comfortable with the formula.
• Sunscreen is a MUST: AHAs and BHAs increase sun sensitivity. You must use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week after.
• Don't Overdo It: Use this treatment a maximum of twice per week. Do not use it in the same routine as other strong actives like retinoids, pure Vitamin C, or other direct acids.
