BENEFITS
The 11% blend of AHAs (glycolic, lactic, phytic, citric) and BHAs (salicylic acid) gently scoops away dead skin cells and helps clear pores of excess sebum.
Plant oils and humectants buffer the potentially harsh effects of chemical exfoliants by providing nourishing moisture to your skin, so this serum remains balanced and gentle.
Antioxidants and moth bean extract, a natural retinol alternative, repair skin cells and clean up free radicals that cause fine lines and discoloration, and help diminish the appearance of pores.
TARGET CONCERNS
Even healthy skin has its off days. Incorporating a resurfacing step into your skincare routine that not only exfoliates dead skin cells but also introduces repairing and nourishing helpers is basically the HIIT of skincare. To the eye of the beholder, Halo works to address uneven tone and texture, excess sebum, fine lines, and enlarged pores. But behind the scenes, Halo also repairs skin cell damage and stimulates cell turnover for skin that not only looks renewed but behaves healthier as well.
SUGGESTED USE
Apply a full dropper all over face and neck after cleansing and toning. Follow with moisturizer. Can be used nightly but not with other products containing exfoliating actives. Always wear sunscreen, but especially the day after using this serum.
WARNING External use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
Pore Confession: Brilliant ideas can come to you while dreaming, and so can brilliant skin.
KEY INGREDIENTS
AHAs (glycolic, lactic, phytic, citric): These chemical exfoliants have large enough molecules so as not to penetrate the skin, making them gentle surface workers, loosening dead skin cells.
BHA (salicylic acid): This exfoliating acid has a smaller-sized molecule that can penetrate pores to help rid them of blackheads and excess sebum to decongest and diminish their appearance.
Moth Bean Extract: A natural alternative to retinol, this boosts collagen production and stimulates cell turnover.
Coconut Water & Aloe Leaf Juice: Full of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants, these both possess hydrating as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of hyaluronic acid that’s more skin-compatible than HA.
Rosehip Oil: A regenerative and brightening oil, rosehip oil’s abundant vitamins and antioxidants make this a powerful skin tone evening ingredient.
Tamanu Oil: With anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and collagen-boosting properties, tamanu oil’s antioxidant- and essential fatty acid-rich makeup have made this a skin hero.
Prickly Pear Oil: Highly hydrating, this cactus-derived oil is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and omega 6 and 9, which help boost the skin barrier’s health and moisture retention capabilities.
Raspberry Seed Oil: Super anti-inflammatory and moisturizing, this oil’s generous antioxidant and essential fatty acid content help to combat oxidative stress and aid cell regeneration.
Rice Extract: With amino acids, vitamin E and ferulic acid, the protein in rice extract is skin-soothing and hydrating, but also a powerhouse with evening out pigmentation and brightening tone overall.
Watermelon Extract: The vitamin C and antioxidants in this ingredient help to moisturize and exfoliate, while promoting cell regeneration as well.
Lentil Extract: This works in conjunction with other fruit and plant extracts (like watermelon) to help moisturize skin.
Green Tea Leaf Extract: An antioxidant boss, green tea extract repairs free radical damage to skin cells while promoting healthy renewal and cell function.

HoliSh*t List
Like many brands, our formulas are held to E.U. standards, making us confident in their safety, but safety isn’t our only goal. An ingredient can be harmless but that doesn’t make it the best one for the task. There are lots of technically safe ingredients that are filler, meaning they’re not bad per se, but they don’t really do anything for you either, other than take up space in a formula that a better-performing ingredient could occupy. Every single ingredient in our formulas has a function and purpose, selected for having the most beneficial role in our skin’s health.
