Amanda's Autumn/Winter Skin Essentials Kit

Exfoliates dull, built-up skin
Lactic Acid works by loosening the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, helping to reveal the smoother, fresher-looking skin underneath. It’s also a humectant, so unlike many exfoliating acids, it helps attract moisture into the upper layers of the skin as it exfoliates.

Replenishes moisture after exfoliation
Once those dead surface cells have been removed, the Botanical Collagen & Peptide Moisturiser follows with Aloe Vera, squalane, Natural Moisturising Factors, peptides and nourishing oils to help replenish moisture and support the skin barrier.

Helps keep autumn/winter skin looking fresh
Cold weather and central heating can leave skin feeling dehydrated and looking dull. This combination tackles both: Lactic Acid keeps the surface smooth and clear, while the moisturiser helps keep skin feeling soft, plump and comfortable.

Better together
Removing the build-up of dead skin cells also means your moisturiser isn’t simply sitting on top of them. Your freshly exfoliated skin is better prepared for the products you apply afterwards, helping you get more from the rest of your routine.

Lactic Acid 10%
An AHA that exfoliates the surface of the skin, helping to improve dullness, uneven texture and the appearance of fine lines while revealing smoother, brighter-looking skin.

Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)
Helps maintain hydration and support the skin barrier, keeping skin feeling comfortable during and after exfoliation.

Aloe Vera
Used in both products to hydrate, soothe and support the skin’s moisture balance.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Peptides that support the skin’s natural renewal processes and help improve the appearance of firmness and fine lines over time.

Marine Collagen
Helps improve surface hydration and plumpness, leaving skin looking smoother and more supple.

Squalane
A skin-compatible lipid that replenishes moisture and supports the skin barrier without leaving skin feeling heavy.
Natural Moisturising Factors
A blend of humectants and amino acids that attract and retain water, helping dehydrated skin stay soft and comfortable.

Niacinamide
Helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture while supporting skin resilience.

Nourishing Botanical Oils & Extracts
Avocado, argan, mango, chamomile, rose, calendula and comfrey help nourish and comfort the skin - particularly welcome during the colder months.

Step 1 – Cleanse
In the evening, cleanse your skin and gently pat dry.

Step 2 – Exfoliate
Using the applicator brush, apply a thin, even layer of Lactic Acid 10%, avoiding the eye area, lips and any areas of sensitivity. Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.

Step 3 – Moisturise
Apply the Botanical Collagen & Peptide Moisturiser to your face and neck to replenish moisture and leave skin feeling soft and comfortable.

How often?
Start by using the Lactic Acid once or twice a week, gradually increasing use as your skin becomes accustomed to it. The moisturiser can be used every morning and evening.

Is this kit suitable for sensitive skin?
Lactic Acid is one of my favourite acids for sensitive and dehydration-prone skin. If you’re new to acids, start slowly and see how your skin responds.

Can I use the Lactic Acid every day?
No need! Start once or twice a week and gradually increase if your skin is happy with it. With exfoliation, more isn’t always better.

Why is this kit good for autumn and winter?
Cold weather and central heating can leave skin feeling dehydrated and looking dull. Lactic Acid exfoliates while also attracting moisture, and the Peptide Moisturiser helps replenish hydration afterwards.

Can I use the moisturiser every day?
Yes. Use it morning and evening, whether you’ve used the Lactic Acid or not.

Can I use this if I use retinol?
Yes, but I recommend using your retinol and Lactic Acid on different evenings rather than layering them in the same routine.

Will the Lactic Acid make my skin peel?
You shouldn’t expect visible peeling. It works by loosening and removing dead surface skin cells, so skin should gradually feel smoother and look brighter.

Why is the applicator brush free?
We’ve identified an issue with the glue in some of our brushes, which means some may shed bristles after several uses. Rather than waste them, we’re including one FREE with this set while stocks last. Not every brush is affected.

Do I need to wear SPF?
Yes. We recommend wearing a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, particularly when using exfoliating acids.
