Is your skin dull, dry and lifeless?
Your skin in constantly regenerating and shedding old skin cells, but if you don't give it a helping hand to remove these, it's no wonder your complexion can look tired!
Glycolic Acid is naturally occurring natural substance derived from Sugar Cane.
As an AHA Acid (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) its structure works on the surface layers of your skin; breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together - in short it is the Holy Grail of exfoliation!
Glycolic Acid reacts with the sebum (natural oils) on the top layers of your skin, breaking down the oils and other substances that hold the cells together.
As Glycolic Acid is made of tiny molecules, it penetrates the skin deeply and easily.
When the 'carrier' cleanser is washed off, dead skin cells are removed, revealing smoother, brighter, fresher younger-looking skin.
Glycolic Acid can be used in regular skincare routines, and even by sensitive skins without causing any irritation.
It brings rejuvenating benefits to your skincare routine, and its botanical properties help treat skin conditions including psoriasis, Melasma and Seborrheic Keratosis. It is often used to treat scarring, skin discolouration and signs of ageing.
It also helps transfer water molecules from the air to skin tissue, replenishing lost moisture. Studies have shown that regular use of Glycolic Acid skincare products assists with boosting collagen production, which is brilliant for plumping up the skin: collagen is a vital structural protein, helping the skin remain firm and resist wrinkling

This is an Excellent 2nd Cleanse. It's smells lovely and leaves skin soft and glowing.
However towards the end it does become difficult to get it out as it sticks to the sides of the container and so stops pumping. It's then nessesary to shake and knock it to the opening and scoop out with a finger. As there is quite a lot left (20g?) It's a pain. Also, if you get this in your eye it really stings, but that's not surprising.
I have combination/sensitive/red skin and I am always very careful with the products I use - typically I wouldn't use anything with 'acid' on my face! But, I read the other reviews and thought I would give this a go and I am so pleased I did.
The cleanser has a silky, cream like texture and is easily absorbed by the skin + the lavender scent is so relaxing. I tend to leave this on for 5 mins and then take it off with a cloth. It leaves my skin feeling clean, moisturized, smooth and it doesn't cause any irritation. I use this cleaner 4 days a week with no issues - it is amazing!
I purchased the cleanser and it’s amazing ! Smells devine too . Leaves my skin so soft and smooth. Love it 🥰
This makes me feel like I’ve had a facial after I’ve used it. My skin feels fresh and super clean. Now that I’m using it a couple of times a week, I can see improvement in blemishes and acne scars which is a bonus. Also helps ingrown hairs pop out as the dead skin is cleared away.
Fab product. My skin is so fresh after using it.
