How To Use – For Best Results in the SA Climate
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Patch Test First: Apply to a small area (like the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours.
- Evening Application: After cleansing and toning, apply 2-3 drops to your face, avoiding eyes and broken skin.
- Slow and Steady: Start with 2 x weekly, building up as your skin tolerates.
- Hydration Next: Layer with a hydrating serum—try The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics or Hyaldew All Hyaluronic Acid Filler for an extra moisture surge.
- Seal and Protect: Always follow with your favourite moisturiser.
- Mandatory SPF: Each morning, use sunscreen with SPF 30+ (try our bestsellers here)—South African sun demands it after any AHA use!
- What Not To Do: Avoid use if you have very sensitive or peeling skin, and don’t combine with strong acids or retinoids in the same routine.
Product Details & Science
- Active ingredients: 10% Lactic Acid (gentle AHA), Hyaluronic Acid, Tasmanian Pepperberry extract (reduces irritation)

How Does It Feel? Sensory Experience

- Aroma: Fragrance-free (only a faint "clean" acid note, fades quickly).
- Tingles Mildly: A brief tingle is normal on first use. Redness or mild dryness may occur for new users—just reduce frequency and increase moisturiser.
