Key ingredients (why it works)
- Salicylic Acid: A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that gets deep into pores to clear out excess oil and help reduce breakouts and blackheads.
- Vitamin E: A nourishing antioxidant that protects skin from daily environmental damage while helping to keep it moisturised.
- Shea Butter: A rich, creamy butter that deeply moisturises and softens skin, helping to lock in hydration all day.
- Jojoba Oil: A lightweight oil that closely mirrors the skin's own oils, balancing moisture without feeling greasy.
Ideal for
Ideal for skincare lovers who want a targeted, science-led exfoliator that cuts through congestion, helps clear breakouts, and refines the look of enlarged pores.
For the best results
- Week 1: Skin may start to feel smoother and look a little brighter from the first few uses
- Week 4: With regular use, you may begin to notice a more even skin tone and a refined pore appearance
- Week 8: Over time, with consistent exfoliation, skin can start to look and feel smoother and more luminous
How to use
Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin and massage gently in circular motions. Focus on areas that tend to feel rough or congested such as the nose and chin. Leave on for 1 to 2 minutes to let the active ingredients work. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat skin dry. Use 1 to 2 times a week. Always follow with a moisturiser and SPF during the day.

Pro tips
Always follow with SPF the morning after exfoliating, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sunlight. This will protect your newly revealed skin and keep your results looking their best.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How often should I use a salicylic acid exfoliator?
A: 2 to 3 times per week is ideal for most skin types. If you are new to acids, start once a week and build up gradually to avoid over-exfoliating.
Q: Can I use this exfoliator if I also use a retinol product?
A: It is best not to use both on the same evening as this can cause irritation. Use the exfoliator on alternate nights to your retinol, and always follow up with a good moisturiser.
