This silky lotion contains 12% glycolic acid blended with plant extracts will hydrate your skin whilst sloughing away dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking clear and smooth and feeling incredibly soft. This lotion is ideal for using all over the body and will quickly reduce spots and blackheads as well as scars left from these conditions.
How does it work?
A blend of hydrating ingredients and Safflower Oil nourish the skin, whilst Jasmine and Lavender oils leave their delicate scent on the body. Skin toning Ivy extract and the regenerating powers of Vitamin E combine to firm and smooth the skin’s texture.
Alpha-hydroxy acids are naturally occurring acids, derived from the sugars of selected plants and fruits such as Sugar Cane, Grapes, Citrus Fruits, Apples and Bitter Almonds. These acids perform at the base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.
At the same time Glycolic Acid also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free; when this starts to disintegrate, skin begins to sag and wrinkle.

* Acne
* Sun damaged skin
* Blotchy pigmentation (chloasma)

Skincare tips
Smooth lotion over the body after showering or bath time and massage in until fully absorbed. Used daily skin will soon become smoother and more even toned.
When using any product containing glycolic acid you must use a moisturiser with a SPF of at least 15 during the day, if you plan on sunbathing or visiting a hot climate use a minimum factor 25.
DO NOT USE If you're pregnant/breastfeeding, under the age of 17, if you are undergoing any kind of intense beauty treatment (microdermabrasion, glycolic acid (at a salon) treatment, Retin-a, laser therapy etc) or if you're on medication which increases the skins sensitivity such as Roaccutane
