BENEFITS: What this formula is designed to visibly improve
• 12% AHA Glycolic Acid Resurfacing
Clinical-strength exfoliation helps lift built-up dead skin cells to smooth rough, bumpy and uneven body skin and reveal clearer, more radiant texture.
• Keratosis Pilaris and Strawberry Legs Support
Helps refine the look of follicular bumps, hardened keratin and clogged pores on arms, thighs, buttocks and legs.
• Crepey Skin and Ageing Texture Renewal
Supports smoother-looking skin and improves the appearance of fine lines, loss of elasticity and crepey texture associated with ageing body skin.
• Tone Brightening and Dark Spot Appearance
Niacinamide helps promote a more even-looking skin tone, improved clarity and visible radiance.
• Hydration and Barrier Support Without Greasiness
Urea attracts and binds moisture while softening thickened texture. Niacinamide supports barrier strength and skin resilience, making high-strength AHA exfoliation more comfortable for sensitive, texture-prone skin.
HOW TO USE: Overnight Leave-On Protocol
• Apply at Night: Smooth a thin, even layer onto clean, dry skin from the neck down. Focus on arms, legs, thighs, buttocks and areas of rough, bumpy or crepey texture.
• Start Gradually, Then Build: If new to high-strength AHAs, begin every second night for the first week. Increase to nightly use as tolerated.
