“The following treatment, step two, utilises an intelligent blend of brightening and moisturising actives.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
ExfoliationLactic acid ~0.1–0.45%Under-dosed
“Polish and perfect the complexion with the Erno Laszlo White Marble Dual Phase Vitamin C Peel ; a clarifying, two-step system that exfoliates and brightens the visage.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Evens skin toneLactic acid ~0.1–0.45%Under-dosed
“During the peel step, skin is polished, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration.”

More about Tocopheryl acetateSodium ascorbyl phosphate~0.95–1.45%
- Irritation risk
- Medium
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
