WHAT IT DOES

Unclogs Pores and Clears Blackheads
Salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores to dissolve the oil and dead skin that cause blackheads and whiteheads. Pores clear out. Congestion reduces. Your skin stays cleaner between cleansing.

Exfoliates Dead Skin and Smooths Texture
Five-fruit AHAs remove the upper layers of dead skin cells that make your complexion look dull and rough. Texture smooths out. Skin feels softer. Your face looks more refined.

Reduces Breakouts and Prevents New Pimples
By clearing pores and speeding up cell turnover, this serum stops breakouts before they start. Existing pimples heal faster. New ones form less frequently.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone
AHAs fade dark spots, post-acne marks, and discolouration. Niacinamide works alongside to brighten and even tone. Dull skin looks more radiant and awake.

Hydrates and Plumps
Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, drawing moisture into your skin and keeping it there. Fine lines plump. Skin feels soft and comfortable, never dry from the acids.

Soothes and Calms
Blue tansy, hemp seed extract, allantoin, and panthenol reduce redness and inflammation. Even with strong exfoliating acids, your skin stays balanced and comfortable.

Stimulates Collagen
AHAs boost collagen production over time. Skin becomes firmer. Fine lines soften. Your complexion looks more youthful.

THE EXPERIENCE

After cleansing at night, apply 3-4 drops from the glass dropper bottle to your face and neck.

The light gel spreads easily. It feels smooth and comfortable—no tingling, no warming from the acids. Just a clean, weightless texture.

There's a subtle blue tansy scent—herbal, calming, barely noticeable. It fades quickly.

Within 30 seconds, the serum absorbs completely. Your skin feels smooth and slightly hydrated. No stickiness. No waiting around.

Apply your moisturiser immediately while the serum is still settling. The two blend beautifully together, and you're left with balanced, comfortable skin.

Use it every evening (or start 2-3 times per week if you're new to acids, then build up). Over time, your skin gets smoother, clearer, and brighter. Blackheads reduce. Breakouts heal faster. Texture refines. Your complexion looks more even and radiant.

Why It Works:

Key Active Ingredients:

Five-Fruit AHAs (10%)
A synergistic blend of glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid. These alpha hydroxy acids exfoliate the upper layers of skin, removing dull, dead cells. They smooth texture, brighten tone, fade dark spots, and stimulate collagen production. At 10% concentration, this is a professional-strength treatment that delivers real, visible results.

Salicylic Acid / BHA (2%)
A beta hydroxy acid that's oil-soluble, so it penetrates deep into pores where acne starts. Dissolves the oil and dead skin that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts. Reduces inflammation and prevents future congestion.

Hyaluronic Acid (1.5%)
A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin and holds it there. Plumps fine lines, smooths texture, and prevents dehydration from exfoliating acids. Keeps skin soft, comfortable, and balanced.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) (2%)
Strengthens skin barrier, reduces inflammation, regulates oil production, minimises pores, brightens tone, and fades dark spots. Works synergistically with acids to enhance results while minimising irritation.

Gluconolactone / PHA
A gentle polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates without irritation. Improves texture and tone while adding hydration. Perfect for sensitive skin that can't tolerate stronger acids alone.

Blue Tansy
High in antioxidants with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Calms redness, soothes irritation, and evens texture. Gives the serum its distinctive herbal scent and characteristic blue tint.

Hemp Seed Extract
Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Hydrates, soothes, and regulates oil production without clogging pores. Non-comedogenic and perfect for acne-prone skin.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Deeply hydrating and soothing. Improves moisture retention and prevents water loss. Supports barrier function and keeps skin soft and supple while acids exfoliate.

Witch Hazel Extract (Alcohol-Free)
Natural astringent that tones skin, tightens pores, and improves elasticity. Calms inflammation and reduces redness without drying.

Allantoin
Soothes and calms irritated skin. Promotes healing and helps skin retain moisture even with strong exfoliating acids present.

Jojoba Oil
Lightweight oil that mimics skin's natural sebum. Balances oil production without clogging pores. Non-comedogenic and nourishing.

Sodium PCA
Natural moisturising factor that helps skin retain water. Keeps hydration levels balanced while acids work.

Aloe Vera Juice
Base ingredient that hydrates, soothes, and heals. Anti-inflammatory and perfect for calming skin while acids exfoliate.

What Makes This Different:

Fresh-Made in Sydney, Not Mass-Produced
We make this serum fresh to order in small batches. Your acids and actives are at peak potency when they reach your skin. Most serums sit in warehouses for months, losing effectiveness. Ours doesn't.

Made Fresh in Sydney
Clean formulas, no nasties. Vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted with botanical actives.

Professional-Strength Acids Without Irritation
10% AHAs and 2% BHA is a serious exfoliating treatment. But we balance these acids with 1.5% hyaluronic acid, blue tansy, hemp, niacinamide, and panthenol. Your skin gets powerful exfoliation without becoming sensitised or irritated.

Oil-Free Hydration
Water-based formula that layers beautifully under moisturiser. No pilling. No heaviness. Perfect for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin.

Fast Absorption
No waiting around. This serum absorbs in 30 seconds so you can apply moisturiser immediately and get on with your evening.

HOW TO USE & WHAT TO EXPECT

When to Use:
Evening only, after cleansing.

---

How to Apply:

1. Cleanse your face and gently pat dry (or leave slightly damp).
2. Apply 3-4 drops from the dropper to your face and neck. The light gel spreads easily.
3. Gently press into your skin with your fingers. It absorbs in about 30 seconds.
4. Apply moisturiser immediately while the serum is still settling (or right after it absorbs). They blend beautifully together.

Starting Protocol:
If you're new to AHAs/BHAs, start with 2-3 times per week for the first 1-2 weeks. Once your skin adjusts, increase to every other night. After 4-6 weeks, you can work up to nightly use if your skin tolerates it well.

Pro Tip:
This serum works perfectly with the Antioxidant Moisturiser. Apply moisturiser immediately after the serum—they mix together on your skin for optimal hydration and comfort.

---

Important Notes:

• Always patch test before first use
• SPF 30+ is mandatory every morning when using AHAs (they increase sun sensitivity significantly)
• Evening use only (do not use in morning routine)
• Some mild tingling during first few uses is normal as skin adjusts
• Mild dryness or flaking may occur initially—this is normal exfoliation
• If excessive irritation occurs, reduce frequency to every other night
• Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight (below 21°C)
• Shelf life once opened: 12 months
• Refrigeration is optional but can help extend freshness
• Pregnant or nursing: Consult healthcare provider before use (contains AHA/BHA)
• Avoid use on sunburned, windburned, or actively irritated skin
• If using prescription retinoids, consult dermatologist before combining with this serum
• Wait 2 weeks between professional chemical peels and using this serum
• Packaging: Glass dropper bottle

What to Expect:

Week 1-2:
Skin feels smoother after each application. Some people experience mild purging (temporary increase in breakouts as acids bring congestion to surface faster). This is normal and a sign the serum is working. Texture starts improving.

Week 3-4:
Purging subsides. Blackheads reduce noticeably. Pores look smaller. Skin tone brightens. Existing breakouts heal faster. Fewer new pimples form. Overall texture is smoother and more refined.

Week 6-8:
Skin is significantly clearer and brighter. Blackheads and clogged pores are reduced. Dark spots and post-acne marks fade. Fine lines appear softer. Overall complexion is more even, radiant, and youthful-looking.

Remember:
This is a professional-strength exfoliating treatment. AHAs and BHAs work by speeding up cell turnover, deep-cleaning pores, and stimulating collagen production. Results build over time with consistent use. Pair it with a hydrating moisturiser, wear your SPF every morning without fail, and your skin will respond with lasting clarity, smoothness, and radiance.
