Glow inducing Retexturiser: Put the power back into your exfoliation.

A gentle, yet effective chemical exfoliator with fruit enzymes. Revitalise and retexturise with this gentle leave-on exfoliant.

With AHAs from Mandelic- & Lactic Acid, working on the surface of the skin while BHA from Willow Bark Extract (Salicylic) works in the pores to keep things clean and clear. Further coupled with some juicy, powerful fruit enzymes. With Power Potion, gentle exfoliation is encouraged, texture is improved, breakouts cleared, pores minimised and cell turnover increased.
