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. The Egyptians used milk (lactic acid) in baths and citrus fruit juices still are used in some countries.
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 plus is a wash off formulation at low pH for quick efficacy. Washing off allows second-line products (Vitamin C, Retinoids & Peptides) without multiple layering. Combining AHAs with other actives (antioxidants, retinoids, peptides and skin brighteners) has proven to increase their penetration & results.

I normally use Obagi Exfoderm, but having used this product, I’ve been very impressed. I’ve had dark patches under my eyes for ages and no matter what I did, they wouldn’t fade. After a few weeks of using Exfoliate Plus, the darkness has significantly faded. The product causes light peeling, so you can see it working too. I would recommend this product and will buy again.

This product feels like a clinic treatment when applied and initially I could only bear it on my skin for less than a minute before needing to rinse off. I’ve noticed the dark patches under my eyes are fading and my skin feels smoother. So far, it’s the best exfoliating product I’ve used.
