Key Ingredients
- Glycolic Acid
- The smallest AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), able to penetrate effectively for surface exfoliation and texture smoothing. At 7% concentration and pH ~3.6, glycolic acid loosens the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, encouraging natural shedding. The result: smoother texture, more even tone, and brighter-looking skin over time.
- Tasmannia Lanceolata Extract
- Tasmanian pepperberry derivative that helps reduce the irritation potential of acids. A smart formulation choice in exfoliating products. Included as an irritation buffer — Tasmannia lanceolata has been shown to help reduce redness and sensitivity that can accompany acid exfoliation, making the formula more tolerable for daily use.
- Amino Acid Complex (NMF)
- A blend of amino acids (glycine, alanine, serine, valine, proline, and others) that mimic the skin's natural moisturizing factors for hydration support. The formula contains a full spectrum of amino acids that replicate the skin's NMF profile. This helps maintain hydration even as glycolic acid encourages surface exfoliation — preventing the tight, dry feeling some acid toners cause.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water
- Aloe vera extract known for its soothing and hydrating properties. Helps calm skin after exfoliation. Aloe barbadensis leaf water provides a soothing base that complements the exfoliating action of glycolic acid. It helps keep skin comfortable and hydrated throughout the exfoliation process.
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Korean ginseng root extract with antioxidant properties, a traditional hanbang ingredient. Panax ginseng provides antioxidant support and is associated with a more energized, healthy-looking complexion. A nod to traditional Korean herbal wisdom in a Western clinical formula.
