Key Active Ingredients

1) Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid helps to:

Remove dead skin cells

Smooth rough skin texture

Fade hyperpigmentation and acne marks

Promote skin renewal and improve overall texture

It is considered one of the most effective exfoliating acids because of its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate the skin efficiently.

Lactic Acid is a gentler AHA that helps to:

Provide mild exfoliation

Hydrate the skin

Improve dryness and roughness

Enhance skin radiance and softness

It is generally more suitable for sensitive skin compared to stronger exfoliating acids.

The formula also contains:

Vitamin E → antioxidant and moisturizing benefits
