Description
If the glow is gone you need to wash it back in. When the pimples are back in town, it’s time to cleanse them away. Clogged pores, rough texture, a zit or two (or five), overall dullness or just simply a look of blah can all be treated with proper exfoliation. We blended together the best combination of smoothing and brightening acids to penetrate into your skin while you wash. Soothing non-fragrant botanicals may reduce irritation and keep skin nice and hydrated. You won’t find anything here that can further inflame skin, including essential oils, drying alcohols, and triclosan (an antibacterial agent sometimes found in acne treatments).

Partner Ingredients
Glycolic, mandelic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids
A blend of AHA acids of different sizes and properties to help sweep away dead skin, clear out clogged pores, reduce inflamed breakouts, and smooth the look of pores.
Glycolic
The most researched type of alpha hydroxy acid. It acts as an exfoliant to help shed dead skin to renew skin’s surface. It has been found to visibly soften signs of aging from sun damage.
Mandelic
This form of AHA is an especially large molecule, so it does not penetrate the skin deeply. Therefore, it exfoliates at a lower risk of irritation.
Lactic
A large molecule AHA that exfoliates on the surface of the skin by breaking down the material that holds dead skin together; it helps to brighten an uneven skin tone and is an effective alternative for sensitive skin types.
Tartaric
This AHA, which has antioxidant properties, comes from fermented grapes and is added to glycolic or lactic acid to strengthen their sloughing. It’s primary benefit is to regulate the formula’s pH.
Citric
This AHA is derived from citrus fruits and functions to keep other acids in a safe pH range. It eliminates irritating impurities on the skin by grabbing onto them so they cannot enter the skin.
Australian caviar lime extract
Fruit acid can help gently brighten and smooth skin.
Tamanu oil
A nut oil native to the south Pacific that helps skin heal and regenerate itself.
Rosehip oil
Chock full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids to help hydrate skin and protect it from environmental damage.
Aloe vera
May offset potential irritation from the acids by helping calm the skin and reduce redness.
