  • Essential for anyone building a Korean skincare inspired routine in SA.

How To Use – For Best Results in the SA Climate

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Patch Test First: Apply to a small area (like the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours.
  2. Evening Application: After cleansing and toning, apply 2-3 drops to your face, avoiding eyes and broken skin.
  3. Slow and Steady: Start with 2 x weekly, building up as your skin tolerates.
  4. Hydration Next: Layer with a hydrating serum—try The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics or Hyaldew All Hyaluronic Acid Filler for an extra moisture surge.
  5. Seal and Protect: Always follow with your favourite moisturiser.
  6. Mandatory SPF: Each morning, use sunscreen with SPF 30+ (try our bestsellers here)—South African sun demands it after any AHA use!
  7. 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)
  • pH: ~3.8 (matches lactic acid’s optimal form for effective, gentle results)
  • Texture: Lightweight, water-based serum; absorbs quickly, non-greasy
  • Format: Dropper bottle, 30ml (lasts 2-3 months with regular use)
  • Cruelty-Free, Vegan

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always keep the cap tightly closed.


How Does It Feel? Sensory Experience

  • Texture: Silky, watery serum—glides on smooth, never sticky.
  • 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.
