Global Exfoliating Acid Lotion

The Global Exfoliating Acid Lotion is designed for those seeking visibly cleaner, more even and radiant skin without compromising on the formulation rigour of high-end cosmetics. An ultra-concentrated exfoliating lotion that refines texture, blurs imperfections and prepares the skin like a perfect canvas to receive subsequent treatments, progressively transforming its clarity and vitality.

Global exfoliation for purer, more radiant skin

Designed to combat impurities, blackheads, visible pores, blemishes and tone irregularities, this acid lotion acts as a global perfector of the skin's surface. Its synergy of acids, botanical extracts and regulating actives works at several levels of the epidermis to:

• Gently remove dead cells and residue that dull the skin.
• Refine texture and minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and imperfections.
• Brighten and even out tone in skin with blemishes and colour irregularities.
• Reactivate natural radiance, restoring a fresher, more even appearance.
• Optimise the penetration and effectiveness of the specific treatments applied afterwards.

Multifunctional exfoliating complex: AHA, BHA and PHA

The formula integrates an architecture of acids from different families —AHA, BHA and PHA— carefully balanced to offer a complete, precise and tolerable exfoliation:

• Gluconolactone (PHA): a gentle yet effective polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates progressively while providing hydration and helping to reinforce the barrier function. Ideal for improving texture without compromising comfort.
• Malic Acid: AHA of fruit origin that helps refine the skin's surface, smooth roughness and enhance overall radiance.
• Citric Acid: AHA that participates in epidermal renewal and helps improve the appearance of blemishes and tone irregularities, providing clarity and evenness.
• Lactic Acid: AHA with exfoliating and hydrating action, which helps remove dead cells while improving the skin's softness and flexibility.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): oil-soluble, it penetrates inside the pore to help dissolve oxidised sebum, reduce blackheads and control the appearance of imperfections. Especially useful in areas with visible pores and recurring impurities.

This combination makes the lotion a versatile ally for skin with uneven texture, clogged pores, lack of radiance or a tendency towards imperfections, respecting the skin's balance when introduced sensibly.

Niacinamide, apple cider vinegar and purifying botanical extracts

Beyond chemical exfoliation, the Global Exfoliating Acid Lotion incorporates regulating and botanical actives to perfect the result:

• Niacinamide: a broad-spectrum vitamin that helps even out tone, improve barrier function, reduce the appearance of visible pores and soothe redness associated with imperfections and mild inflammation.
• Apple Cider Vinegar (Acetum): known for its pH-balancing action and its ability to bring clarity and freshness to skin prone to shine and irregularities.
• Burdock Extract (Arctium Majus Root Extract): traditionally linked to the care of impure skin, it helps purify, balance and improve the appearance of areas with excess sebum.
• Pineapple Extract (Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract): a natural source of gently keratolytic enzymes, it helps refine texture and provide additional radiance.
• Tomato-HGL-MS Extract (Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract): rich in antioxidant compounds, it helps protect against the oxidative stress associated with dull tone and pollution.
• Red Onion Extract (Allium Cepa Bulb Extract): a botanical active with regulating and soothing properties, which supports the recovery of skin with marks and irregularities.
• Fluid Sulfur (Sulfur): a classic active in formulations for blemish-prone skin; it helps regulate excess sebum and improve the appearance of pores and blackheads.
• Sorbitol: a humectant that helps compensate for possible surface water loss, maintaining an adequate level of hydration during the exfoliating process.

Texture and sensory experience

It comes in a fluid lotion format, with fast absorption and a light finish, applied with a few light touches on the skin without leaving a sticky feeling. It is the perfect intermediate step between cleansing and treatment, providing a sensation of more refined, fresh and prepared skin, without the need for mechanical friction.

Application method

To incorporate the Global Exfoliating Acid Lotion into your skincare routine:

• Always use on perfectly clean and completely dry skin.
• If needed, apply a few drops to the palm of your hand and distribute with light touches over the face, neck and, if desired, décolletage, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Alternatively, soak a cotton pad and press gently onto the skin, without rubbing excessively to avoid irritation.
• Start with a spaced-out frequency (for example, alternate nights) and adjust according to your skin's tolerance.
• Use preferably at night and always follow with broad-spectrum sun protection during the day, as acid exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity.

This is not a formula suitable for pregnant women due to the presence of salicylic acid in its composition. Do not apply to irritated skin, open wounds or after recent medical-aesthetic procedures without a professional's recommendation.
