AHA Exfoliator
AHA Exfoliator is for you if you want your glow and smoother skin back. The glycolic acid clears away the dead cells that stay on the surface and make skin look dull, so skin reflects the light again.
With 10% glycolic acid, the smallest of the fruit acids (AHAs), AHA Exfoliator dissolves the bonds that hold dead cells in place. In a placebo-controlled study, glycolic acid gave measurably clearer skin than placebo after just 45 days, and the skin tolerated the acid as well as placebo.
Apply one to two pumps to clean, dry skin a few evenings a week, no more than three. The gel absorbs quickly and there is nothing to rinse off. Wear SPF 30 or higher during the day. Fragrance-free. Not for very sensitive skin, or thin skin prone to redness. A warm, tingling feeling is normal, but rinse off if the feeling becomes uncomfortable, and avoid broken skin, sunburn and irritated skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor or midwife before use.
92.3% natural ingredients. pH 3.8 to 4.5.
Benefits
Measurably clearer skin than placebo in 45 days (glycolic acid 10%)*
As well tolerated as placebo (glycolic acid 10%)*
Lifts dullness and brings back visible radiance (glycolic acid)
Exfoliates and improves skin texture (glycolic acid)
Prevents impurities and softens fine lines over continued use (glycolic acid)

*The study figures come from studies of the active ingredients, and the product contains them at the same dose or higher.
Apply one to two pumps in a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin. Avoid the eye area.
HOW
Leave AHA Exfoliator on the skin. There is nothing to rinse off.
Follow with your serum and moisturiser to keep the skin comfortable.
HOW OFTEN
Use the exfoliator a few evenings a week, up to three. Start at the lower end and build up as your skin adapts to the acid.
GOOD TO KNOW
Wear SPF 30 or higher during the day. Exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun, and skipping sunscreen undoes the work on pigmentation.
How the study was done:
Glycolic acid 10%: 115 people, randomised and double-blind against placebo, applied once nightly and graded by a physician at 45 and 90 days. After 90 days, every participant on glycolic acid had clearer skin
Results vary from person to person.
Glycolic Acid 10%. The smallest AHA molecule. Documented to exfoliate, improve skin texture, prevent impurities and soften wrinkles.
Betaine. From sugar beet. Soothing and moisturising, and documented to reduce age spots.
Glycerin. Holds moisture in the skin during exfoliation, acts as a skin protectant against drying agents and reduces water loss through the skin.

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
The tube itself on Niacinamide Serum is made with 63% post-consumer recycled plastic: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The cap, and the rest of our bottles and tubes, are still virgin plastic, and that is the part we are working on.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium. The aluminium in the Niacinamide Hand Balm tube is 95% recycled. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it
Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean.
Glass bottles: glass.
Aluminium tubes: metal.
The carton: paper.
We are not there yet, and we are working on bringing more of our packaging along.

Why it works
Skin sheds dead cells on its own, but the process slows with age. Those cells stay put, scatter light and make everything underneath look flat. That is what dullness actually is.
Glycolic acid dissolves the bonds holding those cells together, so the surface renews at the pace it used to. Betaine and glycerin keep the process comfortable, and betaine is also documented to reduce age spots.

Det er en dejlig opstrammende creme som efterlader huden glat og en lille smule "fedtet"/ smurt noget på-agtig fornemmelse.
Jeg er glad for cremen.
Mvh.

I’ve struggled with blemishes for years, but this is the only product that truly works. It’s gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin
Love how smooth my skin feels and my pores almost disappear.
Great product.
I use this every night. It keeps my skin clear, and it looks so much better now. I love that it has no scent.
I’ve been using this AHA product for a while now, and it really helped improve my skin texture. It gently exfoliates, leaving my skin smoother and more bright. It’s perfect for my routine, and I can definitely see the difference.
Known as AHA
An alpha hydroxy acid. It dissolves the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface, so they lift away instead of building up. What is underneath is smoother and clearer, and fine lines look shallower.
Known as sugar beet betaine
An amino acid taken from sugar beet. It draws water into the skin and helps hold it there. Betaine is documented to moisturise, to soothe and to reduce age spots.
A moisture binder: it pulls water towards the skin and holds it there. Glycerin is documented to moisturise, to retain moisture in the skin and to reduce water loss through it, and to act as a skin protectant against drying agents.
