The result is a non-gritty, fast-absorbing finish that works as the final step in your skincare routine to refine texture and prepare the skin for makeup or sleep. It’s made for daily use and designed to provide chemical exfoliation without the mechanical scrubbing or visible peeling of harsher treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cream exfoliate without scrubbing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula relies on two chemical exfoliants: glycolic acid to target surface dead skin and salicylic acid to penetrate pore buildup. Both are present at mild concentrations so the skin is renewed gradually rather than peeled abruptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.06% glycolic acid gently loosens corneocytes on the skin surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.45% salicylic acid helps dissolve sebum and debris in pores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo physical beads or abrasive particles—chemical action only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for daily application to maintain smoothness over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it dry out sensitive or dry skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydration is built into the product: a birch sap–rich base delivers moisture and supports barrier health so exfoliation is balanced with skin-replenishing ingredients. The gel-cream texture absorbs quickly and minimizes tackiness, reducing the chance of tightness often caused by harsher acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBirch sap helps retain skin moisture and soothe the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight gel-cream avoids a greasy residue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulated for gentle, regular use to avoid over-drying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for those seeking mild chemical exfoliation rather than intensive peeling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow and when should I add it to my skincare routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse this cream as the last step in your routine—after serums and creams—so the active acids can contact the skin directly. Apply evenly over the face; it can be used morning or night, but pair with daily sunscreen if used in the daytime due to increased skin turnover from acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply a thin layer at the final step of your skincare routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be used both morning and evening—use SPF during daytime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStart with every-other-day use if you’re acid-sensitive, then increase frequency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not combine with other strong actives without patch testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat results can I expect and how quickly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisible smoothing and reduced flakiness often appear after consistent weekly use, while pore clarity and overall skin tone can improve gradually as the acids keep surface and pore buildup in check.

It's especially useful for users who prefer non-abrasive, low‑irritation AHA\/BHA maintenance rather than intense resurfacing treatments. If you have very reactive or compromised skin, patch-test and introduce the product slowly, and consult a professional for personalized guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetula Alba Juice, Water, Propanediol, Tromethamine, Glycolic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycereth-26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Beeswax, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 60, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sorbitan Stearate, PEG-240\/HDI Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether, Glyceryl Stearate, Panthenol, Salicylic Acid, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyacetophenone, Sodium Acrylate\/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, PEG-100 Stearate, Isohexadecane, PEG-2M, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Allantoin, Sucrose Distearate, Polysorbate 80, Adenosine, Sorbitan Oleate, Disodium EDTA, Pantolactone, Lactobacillus\/Pumpkin Ferment Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this every day?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—it's formulated for daily use, though beginners should start gradually and increase frequency as tolerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Should I wear sunscreen after using this cream?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
