AHA Exfoliator Mini
The same exfoliator, in a smaller size. Enough to see how your skin responds before you commit to the full size.
Dull skin is not dirty skin. It is dead cells sitting on the surface, scattering light instead of reflecting it, and washing your face again does not shift them.
AHA Exfoliator dissolves the bonds holding those cells in place. At 10%, glycolic acid is the smallest AHA molecule, so it works evenly across the whole surface rather than just polishing the top. Most people see a difference within the first few weeks: brighter skin, finer texture, less visible pigmentation and fewer marks left by old blemishes. Fine lines soften as the surface keeps renewing.
Glycerin and betaine hold moisture in while it works. That is what separates it from the acids that leave skin tight and flaking for days afterwards.
Use it on its own or as part of your routine. It goes in after cleansing and before your serum, a few evenings a week and no more than three. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and leave it on. There is nothing to rinse off.
Wear SPF 30 or higher during the day. Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun, and without sunscreen the work on pigmentation is undone.
It is fragrance-free and contains no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy. It is how we use it ourselves in three of our regimens: for dullness, for pigmentation and for balanced skin.
92.3% natural ingredients.
Benefits
Lifts dullness and brings back visible radiance.
Smooths uneven texture and refines the look of pores.
Fades pigmentation and marks left by old blemishes.
Softens fine lines over continued use.
Leave-on gel, fast-absorbing, no scrubbing.
Not for very sensitive or thin, red-prone skin. Contains no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If in doubt, ask your doctor or midwife.
A warm, tingling feeling is normal. Rinse off if it turns uncomfortable, and do not use on broken skin, sunburn or irritated skin.
Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin. Avoid the eye area.
HOW
Leave the exfoliator on the skin. It is a leave-on formula, so there is no rinsing step.
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.
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.
Clinically studied ingredients, at the doses we use:
Significantly clearer skin after 45 days, against placebo
Fewer clogged pores, and smoother texture as renewal picks up
As well tolerated as placebo, with no difference in reported side effects
Visibly brighter skin
Glycolic acid at 10% in 115 people, randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled, applied once nightly and graded by a physician at 45 days. Results vary from person to person.
Glycolic Acid 10%. The smallest AHA molecule, which is why it resurfaces evenly rather than just polishing the very top layer.
Glycerin. Holds moisture in the skin during exfoliation, so the surface renews without drying out.
Betaine. A sugar beet derivative that keeps skin comfortable through regular use.

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. 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. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

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.
Why it works
Skin sheds dead cells on its own, but the process slows with age and stalls further in winter. 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. The molecule is small enough to work evenly across the face rather than sitting on the high points, which is why the result is smoother skin rather than patchy skin. Glycerin and betaine are there to keep the process comfortable. In a randomised study of 115 people, glycolic acid at the strength we use was significantly more effective than placebo by day 45, with tolerability no different from placebo.
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 brighter, and fine lines look shallower. Glycolic acid also stimulates collagen production.
An amino acid taken from sugar beet. It draws water into the skin and helps hold it there, and it supports the barrier, so skin copes better with cold, wind and washing.
A humectant: it pulls water towards the skin and holds it there. Glycerin also sits on the surface as a light film that slows how fast that water leaves again, which is why skin stays soft instead of tightening a few hours after you apply it.
