Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is a powerhouse AHA that works to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, smoother complexion. It helps to refine the appearance of pores, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. By accelerating cell turnover, it also helps to fade dark spots, reduce uneven pigmentation, and enhance brightness, leaving skin looking clearer, more radiant, and evenly toned with continued use.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful hydrating ingredient naturally found in the skin, known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. It helps keep the skin plump, smooth, and hydrated by drawing water into the skin’s surface. By improving moisture levels, it supports a healthy skin barrier and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, leaving the complexion looking fresh, supple, and revitalised.
