A 10% AHA + 1% Salicylic Acid night serum with more going on than the acid percentage suggests. Halo gently smooths skin and refines the complexion while leaving it feeling soft and balanced overnight.

What it feels like

Active and potent on application. Some initial warmth is expected and normal. Skin feels very soft and smooth once settled — the texture result is worth the adjustment period.

Top benefits

— 10% AHA Blend resurfaces texture and helps reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone (Glycolic, Lactic, Phytic & Citric Acids)
— 1% Salicylic Acid penetrates pores to help decongest blemish-related buildup
— Moth Bean Extract supports the appearance of smoother, more even-looking skin
— Barrier-supportive oil blend (Prickly Pear, Raspberry Seed, Tamanu, Rosehip) nourishes the barrier as the acids work – resurfacing and barrier support in the same formula

PM only (2–3x/week to start, building to nightly as tolerated): On clean, dry skin after Utopia Toner, press 1–2 pumps onto face, neck, and chest. Follow immediately with Galilee, then Grand.

PM Routine: Kissimmee → Tashmoo or Superior → Utopia → Halo → Owel → Grand → Caspian

Use one acid treatment per routine. If you want to gradually work toward incorporating another acid (Shasta), start once a week and increase as tolerated.

Pore Confession: Redness or warmth after your first use? That's your skin telling you it hasn't seen acids in a while.

Warning: External use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
Sunburn Alert: Contains AHA. Use SPF daily.

Easing in – Skin feels noticeably softer after each use, even if some warmth occurs initially.

A good skincare routine requires dedication (that's on you) – With consistent use, skin appears visibly smoother with more refined texture and even tone.

Build Your Skin Strategy

Halo and Kosi work the same resurfacing pathway — alternate them, don't stack. Halo is your nightly maintenance. Kosi is your weekly deep reset. Use Halo with caution if combining with other strong actives — spot test to assess tolerability.

Understanding Chemical Exfoliants

AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) are chemical exfoliants that can offer significant benefits to the skin when combined in a single product. AHAs, are water-soluble and work on the surface to improve skin texture and tone, while oli-soluble BHAs work deeper within the skin to unclog pores and tackle acne-related concerns. By incorporating both AHAs and BHAs in one formula, you can achieve comprehensive exfoliation and address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. This combination can provide smoother skin, reduced breakouts, improved skin tone, and a brighter-looking complexion.

Our key ingredients

  • 10% AHA Blend

    (Glycolic, Lactic, Phytic & Citric Acids): Four complementary alpha hydroxy acids that work on the surface to dissolve buildup, refine texture, and improve clarity overnight.

  • 1% Salicylic Acid

    Oil-soluble BHA that penetrates pores to decongest excess sebum and blemish-causing buildup where AHAs can't reach.

  • Moth Bean Extract

    Natural botanical alternative to retinol that supports the appearance of smoother, more even-looking skin.

  • Rosehip Seed Oil

    Nourishing and brightening oil with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and natural soothing properties.

Talk about VIBEY

"I'll tell you, I originally mistook this for a *particularly thick* facial cleanser and kept it in my shower - UNTIL someone promptly informed me that it's a luxe serum, which might've been obvious by the porcelain packaging.. So once I started actually using the Halo serum correctly (aka not in the shower), I began to love it! I am allergic to pretty much every new facial product if applied around my eyes but with this, I am able to lather it everywhere with no issue. Makes your skin feel super soft and hydrated!"

— Elyse (5/5)
