The ritual it lives inside
Balm cleanse, peel serum, then the face cream. An evening routine for dull skin.
The Read
One AHA, lactic acid at 10%, with 1% hyaluronic acid and white tea and sage extracts. Strong enough to smooth, gentle enough to use yourself.
It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells so they shed evenly, and over weeks skin looks smoother, brighter and more even. A light tingle is normal. AHAs increase sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is part of the step.
On clean, dry skin, on a night without other acids or retinoids. Leave on overnight. Start with one night a week and build to two or three as skin allows.
The proof
Every claim pinned to its source.
