- With 7% glycolic acid, amino acids, aloe vera, ginseng and Tasmanian pepperberry.
- Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin.
- This 7% toning solution offers mild exfoliation for improved skin radiance and visible clarity.
- The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
- This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative.
- This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.
- The formula is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and skin soothing benefits.
- Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.
- Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.
- This pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability.
- When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation.
- Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.
How to use:
- Use ideally in the PM, no more frequently than once per day.
- After cleaning, saturate a cotton pad with the formula and sweep across face and neck. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.
- Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.
- Do not rinse off. Continue with additional skin treatments as needed. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration.
- If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician.
- Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
- Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn.
