Details

Illuminating Exfoliant is a gentle face exfoliant that pairs physical and plant-based chemical exfoliation, for skin that looks dull or congested.

Lactic acid (an AHA) and willow bark (a natural BHA) lift surface build-up, and biodegradable jojoba wax beads give a soft, non-scouring polish. Kaolin absorbs excess oil, while saccharide isomerate and aloe vera keep skin hydrated after rinsing, so it feels smooth rather than tight. It holds 14 key ingredients, 74% of them organic, and Emma Lewisham states it is vegan and cruelty-free.

Facialist's note: massage two pumps onto damp skin for 20 seconds, then rinse. Use it two to three evenings a week.

Suited to
All skin types, especially skin that looks dull or congested.

Size: 100ml

How to use
  • Use 2 to 3 times a week, in the evening.
  • Massage 2 pumps onto damp skin for 20 seconds, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
  • For a deeper exfoliation, leave on dry skin for 5 to 10 minutes as a mask, then add water, massage and rinse.
  • Wear sunscreen during the day while using AHA/BHAs.

    LITERALLY discussing how lovely this is with a colleague this morning!

    I was apprehensive due to the financial investment, however the size of the bottle and the quality of the product were on point. A very gentle exfoliant, that leaves my skin feeling refreshed and renewed. Very very happy with my purchase. Can't wait to explore other items within the range for glwoing skin.
