Normal, combination or oily skin wanting daily clarifying serum benefits from a lightweight PHA and AHA formula Dull, congested or uneven skin texture needing consistent daily renewal Those wanting a lightweight acid serum step that sits comfortably between toner and moisturiser Anyone wanting gentle daily resurfacing without the weight of a full exfoliation treatment product Those building an active Exuviance routine for normal to oily skin who want a dedicated daily clarifying serum Those on GLP-1 medications experiencing skin texture changes wanting a low-risk daily improving serum How Does It Work?The PHA and AHA complex loosens dead skin cell bonds at the surface and accelerates surface cell turnover, progressively clearing the dull dead layer that causes congestion, uneven texture and reduced radiance. PHAs exfoliate without sun sensitivity or irritation. AHAs accelerate the exfoliation and provide additional collagen stimulation with consistent long-term use. Together they produce daily progressive skin renewal in a serum format that absorbs rapidly and comfortably between the toning and moisturising steps. Hydrating and soothing actives maintain skin comfort and moisture throughout daily use.Key Ingredients PHA and AHA complex: A balanced blend of Polyhydroxy Acids and Alpha Hydroxy Acids that clarify pores, renew the skin surface and improve overall skin texture and tone with daily use. PHAs provide gentler non-irritating exfoliation with barrier support. AHAs provide faster surface renewal and collagen stimulation. The combination delivers more comprehensive daily clarifying results than either acid family alone. Hydrating and soothing actives: Maintain skin comfort and moisture throughout the daily exfoliating and renewing process, ensuring the skin remains comfortable and balanced rather than tight or dry.
