This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.0–4.0.

Exfoliates skin's surface, smooths texture, softens fine lines & brightens. Renewing ingredients like yarrow extract & a fermented antioxidant blend of cherry blossom, chocolate vine & bayberry support the skin’s microbiome & barrier while working beneath skin’s surface for healthier cell turnover and younger-looking skin over time.
Apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Use clean fingers or a cotton pad to apply an even layer over the entire face, avoiding direct contact with eyes and lips. Do not rinse. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
