PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our Gentle Acid + Enzyme Exfoliant is a weekly resurfacing treatment designed to smooth texture, refine pores, and restore brightness without harsh irritation. Formulated with mandelic acid, PHA, and fruit enzymes, it gently removes dull surface build-up while supporting a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula promotes renewal while maintaining barrier balance, making it suitable for sensitive and melanin-rich skin types prone to post-inflammatory marks. With consistent use, skin appears softer, smoother, and visibly more refined.
Fragrance-free. Alcohol-free. Suitable for sensitive skin.
(30 mL / 1.0 fl oz)
HOW TO USE
Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, dry skin in the evening, 1–2 times per week. Smooth a thin, even layer over the face, avoiding the eye area. Allow it to fully absorb before following with moisturiser.
If new to exfoliating acids, start once weekly and increase gradually as tolerated. Always apply sunscreen the next morning to protect freshly renewed skin.
INGREDIENTS
Mandelic Acid (5%) – Gently exfoliates to smooth texture and improve uneven tone
Gluconolactone / PHA (4%) – Provides mild surface renewal while supporting hydration
Papaya Enzyme (1%) – Helps dissolve dead skin build-up for brighter skin
Niacinamide (4%) – Supports barrier strength and improves overall clarity
Panthenol / Vitamin B5 (1%) – Calms and hydrates to reduce irritation
Supporting Ingredients
The formula is supported by a balanced hydrating and soothing base including glycerin, propanediol, and butylene glycol to maintain moisture levels during exfoliation. Allantoin, beta-glucan, and madecassoside help calm the skin and minimise post-exfoliation sensitivity. Ceramide NP supports barrier integrity, while sodium hyaluronate and polyglutamic acid provide multi-level hydration. A stabilising gel system ensures even acid dispersion, and a gentle preservation system maintains product safety and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. This exfoliant is formulated with mandelic acid and PHA, which are larger-molecule acids that work more gently on the skin compared to traditional glycolic acid. The formula is also supported with calming ingredients to help reduce the risk of irritation, making it suitable for sensitive and melanin-rich skin types when used as directed.
How often should I use it?
Apply 1–2 times per week in the evening, depending on your skin’s tolerance. If you are new to exfoliating acids, begin with once weekly and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Overuse can lead to irritation, so consistency is more important than frequency.
Can I use this with retinol or other actives?
It’s best to avoid using this exfoliant in the same routine as retinol, strong vitamin C, or other exfoliating acids. Alternating nights helps minimise irritation and allows your skin to benefit from each treatment without overwhelming the barrier.
Will this help with dark spots and uneven texture?
Yes. By gently encouraging surface cell turnover, this exfoliant helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, smooth rough texture, and improve overall clarity. With consistent weekly use, skin appears brighter, more refined, and more even.
Do I need sunscreen after using this?
Yes. Exfoliating acids can increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning is essential to protect your skin and maintain your results.
