Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask

Additional information

Skin Type

• All skin types
• Acneic and aging skin

Benefits

This scrub is a powerful cellular turnover scrub with Retinol (Vitamin A), Malic Acid, and jojoba beads to clean, soothe and polish the skin. The retinol encourages the breakup of blackheads and clogged pores, jojoba beads gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while kojic lightens age spots and scars left from blemishes.

Directions For Use

Massage onto face, neck and chest. Allow to dry up to 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and follow with toner.

Tips For Use

• For most skin types, use this product with the Glycolic Cleanser 2 – 3 times per week. The Glycolic Cleanser breaks up the dead, keratinized skin, and the Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask polishes off the dead skin. The retinol also starts desquamating the follicle lining so impactions can purge.
• For sensitive skin or rosacea, use this product with the Green Tea Citrus Cleanser 2 – 3 times per week.
• For use as a mask, apply a thin layer and allow the actives to penetrate into the skin for 5 – 10 minutes.
• Add a minimal amount of water and rub gently in circular motions—no rough scrubbing. Then remove completely with water.

Active Ingredients

• Jojoba Beads provide the physical exfoliation component of the product. They gently buff away dead surface debris and leave behind jojoba esters, which are a moisture retaining component of natural skin sebum.
• Kojic Acid (2%) lightens skin discolorations, slows the production of melanin, and assists in maintaining desired skin coloration after aggressive depigmentation treatments.
• Retinol dissolves keratinization, resurfaces and smoothes the skin, and stimulates collagen production to improve skin quality and youthfulness.
• Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil is an astringent that purifies, tones, and brightens the skin. It also promotes taught, toned skin tissue.
• Malic Acid (L) enhances desquamation of the stratum corneum and improves the appearance of the skin.
• Zanthoxylum Americanum (Prickly Ash) Bark Extract encourages healthy circulation and provides gentle stimulant properties to promote healthy oxygenation. It is also anti-inflammatory
