Why it's different
Exfoliation without the harshness
Scrubs and strong acids can leave skin red and tight. Our tonic is a liquid exfoliant made with sensitive skin in mind. It pairs fruit AHAs with PHA, a gentler acid that also helps skin hold on to moisture, so you get the glow without the sting.

Questions
Good to know
What's the difference between AHAs and PHAs?
Both are gentle chemical exfoliants that lift away dead skin cells. AHAs smooth texture and brighten, while PHAs are milder and also attract moisture, which makes them ideal for sensitive skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. It's been independently tested and dermatologically approved as suitable for sensitive skin. As with any new product, we recommend a patch test first.
Can I use it with retinol or other acids?
Avoid layering it with other exfoliating acids or retinoids in the same routine. Alternate on different days or use them at different times of day.
Can teenagers use it?
For teens, use it on the area of concern once a day in the evening, applied to a cotton pad dampened with water. Patch test first. We don't recommend it for children.
Does it contain nuts?
No, though the raw materials and final product may be made in factories that handle tree nuts and peanuts.
