The Science Behind Exfoliants

Exfoliation is key to brightening, smoothing, and resurfacing your skin. It removes built-up dead skin cells that can dull your complexion and block the effectiveness of treatments and moisturizers.

  • ✔ Regular exfoliation helps improve cell turnover, revealing fresher, more supple-looking skin.
  • ✔ Physical exfoliants work by manually removing dead cells, while chemical exfoliants dissolve the bonds holding them together.
  • ✔ Proper exfoliation improves skin texture and helps prevent clogged pores.
  • ✔ Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation—so choose the right product and frequency for your skin’s needs.

The right exfoliant helps maintain skin clarity and radiance while enhancing the effectiveness of your skincare routine.

Ingredient Insights

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid gently dissolves the “glue” holding dead skin cells together, improving cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion. This water-soluble acid derived from fruit helps refine texture, clear congestion, and enhance the absorption of other skincare ingredients.

Papain

Papain, a natural enzyme derived from papaya, breaks down proteins in dead skin cells, promoting gentle exfoliation. It helps reveal fresher, more radiant skin while supporting a smoother and softer texture.

Salicylic Acid

A Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, remove dead skin cells, and prevent breakouts. Its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for blemish-prone and congested skin.
