TRIPLE EXFOLIATION, ZERO STRIPPING.

THE EXFOLIATION SYSTEM

An 8-fruit enzyme complex dissolves the dead-cell bond at the surface with no friction. Glycolic Acid (smallest AHA, deepest action) resurfaces and renews; Lactic Acid exfoliates while hydrating; Mandelic Acid (mildest, almond-derived) works at the surface and suits sensitive skin.

REGULATION AND BALANCE

Zinc PCA regulates sebum and refines pores; Allantoin soothes and counterbalances the acids; Organic Calendula supports barrier recovery in the same step.

THE CLEANSING BASE

Sulfate-Free Cleansing Base

No SLS, no SLES, no sulfates of any form. The base uses Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate — amino acid-derived glutamates from coconut. They clean effectively without disrupting the acid mantle or stripping the barrier. Most exfoliating cleansers compensate gentle actives with aggressive surfactants. This formula does the opposite: strong exfoliation, gentle base.

1.  Apply one pump to damp fingertips.

2.   Work in gentle circular motions across face and neck — 30 to 60 seconds.

The circular motion activates enzymatic release. On still skin, the formula cleanses but does not fully exfoliate.

3.  Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Lukewarm —not hot. Hot water accelerates transepidermal water loss and reduces the soothing effect of the Allantoin and Calendula.

4.  Follow with the Radiance Face Oil while skin is still warm.

Warm skin absorbs the botanical oils faster and more deeply.

Frequency: daily cleansing with circular technique is suitable for most skin types. For sensitive or reactive skin: use circular technique every other evening for the first two weeks, then increase.

D1–3 = Skin noticeably cleaner, pores less visible. Complexion looks more even after the first uses.

D7–14 = Visible improvement in tone clarity and surface texture. Serums and oils applied after absorb measurably faster.

D21+ Consistent radiance. Sebum better regulated. Fine texture maintained with continued use. The ritual performs better across all four steps.

Results based on formulation data and usage observations. Individual results vary with skin type and frequency of use.

What does sulfate-free mean and why does it matter?

Sulfates — SLS and SLES — are surfactants that clean effectively but strip the skin barrier, disrupt the acid mantle, and can trigger reactive and sensitized skin. This formula uses glutamate and sucrose ester tensioactives instead: equally effective at removing impurities, without the disruption. For a formula that already contains AHAs, a sulfate-free base is not optional — it is necessary.

Does this contain physical scrub particles?

No. There are no micro-beads or physical exfoliants in this formula. Exfoliation is enzymatic — via 8 fruit extracts that dissolve the bond between dead cells — and chemical, via a calibrated triple AHA blend. Gentlerthan physical scrubbing. More precise.

Is it safe to use AHAs every day?

At the concentrations calibrated in this formula, yes. The triple AHA blend is designed for daily use, balanced by Allantoin and Calendula to prevent the sensitization that higher-dose AHA treatments can cause. For very reactive skin: start every other evening, increase gradually.

My skin is sensitive. Can I use this?

Yes, with the right approach. Mandelic Acid — the mildest of the three AHAs — has a well-documented tolerance profile on sensitive skin. The Allantoin and Calendula soothe in the same step. Start 3x per week without circular motion, assess after two weeks, then increase frequency.

Will the Glycolic Acid make my skin photosensitive?

At the concentrations in a rinse-off formula, the photosensitization risk is significantly lower than in leave-on AHA treatments.
Apply SPF in the morning as part of any routine that includes AHAs — morning or
evening. Standard clean beauty practice.

What does Zinc PCA actually do?

Zinc PCA regulates sebum production at the follicle level, reduces pore appearance, and has a gentle anti-bacterial action. Particularly effective for combination and oily skin. It clarifies without stripping — an
important distinction in a formula that already contains exfoliating acids.
