INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT: SKINCARE ACIDS

Exfoliating acids are a powerhouse skincare ingredient designed to stimulate cell turnover. This means they digest surface layers of dead skin cells to reveal newer ones underneath and prompt your skin to produce more natural collagen from your body.

Take your cleanse one step further by incorporating an acid into your skin regimen. It can instantly create luminous skin and better skin texture. Because there are a multitude of active acids that each can target different skin goals, it’s best to start off slowly, using only one type once or twice a week.

LACTIC ACID

The most gentle of all exfoliating acids. Plus, it’s hydrating.

SALICYLIC ACID

Breaks down excess oil + bacteria in the skin to clear blemishes. Helps with large pores as well.

GLYCOLIC ACID

Increases cell turnover for increased collagen production, luminosity + enhances your natural glow.

RETINOL

The strongest acid, also known as Vitamin A. Condition the skin with small percentages in conjunction with daily use of Vitamin C + SPF to protect newly exfoliated skin.
