How To Use Plus

Step 1: After cleansing, dampen a fresh reusable round with our Refining AHA + BHA Exfoliator.

Step 2: Gently swipe over the face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Pay extra attention to areas prone to congestion like the nose, chin, and forehead.

Step 3: Do not rinse. Allow the formula to absorb into your skin, then follow with your usual serums, oils, and moisturiser.

When to Use:
  • PM is ideal, 2 - 3 times per week to start.
  • If your skin is more resilient, you may be able to use it more frequently, but always listen to your skin.
  • Avoid using on the same night as strong retinoids or other exfoliating acids if your skin is sensitive.
  • Always use a sunscreen as your last step in the AM.
Ingredients Plus
Hero Ingredients:
Lactic Acid (AHA)

A gentle alpha hydroxy acid that helps dissolve the bonds between dead surface cells. Lactic Acid supports a smoother, softer-feeling complexion and a more even-looking tone, making skin look fresh instead of flat and dull.

Salicylic Acid (BHA)

A pore-clearing beta hydroxy acid that’s oil-soluble, meaning it can get inside the pore to help loosen sebum and debris. It’s a go-to for congestion and the appearance of blackheads, helping skin look clearer and more refined over time.

Pineapple Fruit Extract

A fruit extract that supports radiance and surface exfoliation. It helps brighten the look of dull skin so your complexion appears more even, juicy, and alive.

Full Ingredients List:

Water, Lactic Acid, Propanediol, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Hydroxide, Benzyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Fragrance, Salicylic Acid, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Xanthan Gum, Dehydroacetic Acid, Sodium Metabisulfite, Sodium Benzoate

HOW TO USE OUR EXFOLIATOR

Dampen a fresh reusable makeup pad with the exfoliator and gently slide it over your face.

No need to rinse — just let it absorb and follow with your serums, oils and moisturisers.

A balancing blend of exfoliating and soothing ingredients for clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Your easy three-step routine. Sink optional

FAQs

Got questions? We've got you. Here are the most frequently asked questions about our Refining AHA + BHA Exfoliator.
Do I need to rinse off my exfoliating toner? Plus

No. This is a no-rinse exfoliating formula. Once you’ve swiped it over your face with a reusable round, let the remaining product absorb and follow with your serums and moisturiser.

How often should I exfoliate? Plus

Start with 2–3 times per week in the evening. If your skin is used to acids and feels comfortable, you can adjust as needed. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, keep it to 1–2 times per week and always patch test first.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin? Plus

You can! This product contains a gentle blend of active exfoliating acids, specifically formulated to be kind to sensitive skin.

We do recommend patch testing and starting with a low frequency, as with all actives.

Avoid using it on broken, very irritated, or freshly compromised skin, and always stop using it if you experience discomfort.

Can I use this with retinol, vitamin C, or other actives? Plus

To keep things gentle on your barrier, we suggest not layering this exfoliator with other strong actives in the same routine (for example, high-strength retinoids or strong acid serums). You can alternate nights; exfoliator one night, retinol, or vitamin C another for example.

Will this help with blackheads and congestion? Plus

Yes. The combination of Lactic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA) helps dissolve dead skin on the surface while also getting into pores to loosen oil and debris. Over time, this can visibly reduce the look of blackheads and congestion.
