EXFOLIATE

Product Information

Chemical exfoliation is far superior to abrasive exfoliation with skin scrubs and electronic devices as it penetrates deeper without using force. AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids – lactic, glycolic and pyruvic acids) are abundant in natural exfoliating remedies such as milk, citric fruits and sugar cane.

Regular chemexfoliation keeps the skin texture smooth, prevents pores from getting clogged with dead skin and sebum (oil) leading to spots and breakouts. Exfoliation also sheds excess melanin from the skin improving tone and radiance. Increased cell turnover/shedding leads to healthier, deeper skin layers producing more collagen and elastin. Dead skin is dry and requires excess moisturisers which can, in turn, lead to other side effects from moisturisers.

Exfoliate is a wash off formulation at low pH for quick efficacy. Washing off allows second-line products (Vitamin C, Retinoids & Peptides) without multiple layering. Using AHAs along with other actives has proven to increase their penetration & results.
