Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids (mandelic acid 0.70% - 1.00%, lactic acid 3.20% - 3.90% and glycolic acid 0.30% - 0.60%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. Lactic Acid can also help to attract water to the upper layer (works as a humectant).
  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 4.60% - 5.60% It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production, neutralizing free radicals in skin and improving pigmentation marks. We recommend to use up this product quickly after opening: Ascorbic Acid degrades fast when it gets in contact with air and light. The moment the product turns orange, it is a sign that a significant share of the vitamin C in it is no longer effective.
  • Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, lactic acid 3.20% - 3.90% and glycerin 2.50% - 3.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
