Illuminating Exfoliating Serum

A custom blend of willow bark and meadowsweet using three different extraction methods to obtain the whole plant inflammation modulation compounds along with highly bio-available salicylic acid liposomes to penetrate deeper into the sebaceous glands.  In turn, it limits congestion and clears the skin.  The particular formula ensures it supports both oily and dry skin.

Sea fennel, orange flower, and a unique peptide calm redness and improve overall tone for a clear complexion.

Superfoods of green tea and pomegranate impart a range of skin-loving antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damage, while also containing regenerative compounds to firm the skin.

Moth bean extract has been shown to be 50x more effective than retinyl palmitate (a very mild form of retinoids) in promoting cellular renewal and lessening hyperpigmentation.

• Apply 1-2 pumps on clean, damp or dry skin. Follow with your favorite facial oil or moisturizer. You may notice a slight film for about 30 seconds as it absorbs. You can blend your oil/moisturizer with the serum as a micro-emulsion or it can be layered while it is absorbing.
  
• As a spot or zone treatment, apply a thick layer and let dry (5-10 minutes).  Then very lightly take a damp cloth and remove any film.
  
• It can be applied 3 times a week for sensitive skin and up to once a day for more exfoliation.  For maintenance, 3-5 times a week is advised.
