Pigmentation Exfoliator

When dead skin cells build up, they block your serums from working. This exfoliator safely clears that wall so your treatments can penetrate. Most exfoliants aggravate hyperpigmentation and Chubaba by causing inflammation — this one is built to resurface gently, so your brightening routine finally delivers.

• Clears the path — removes dead-skin buildup so serums go deeper.
• Safe resurfacing — fades dark spots without the irritation that causes rebound pigmentation.
• Hydrates as it exfoliates — the PHA pulls moisture in to prevent dryness.
• Smoother texture — refines rough patches for a more even glow.

Mandelic Acid has a larger molecule that enters the skin slowly and evenly, lowering the chance of the irritation that drives post-inflammatory dark marks. Paired with Gluconolactone (PHA), it dissolves the "glue" between dead cells while acting as a humectant — so you exfoliate without the dryness of stronger acids like high-strength Glycolic.

• Mandelic Acid — a large-molecule AHA that resurfaces gently and evenly.
• Gluconolactone (PHA) — exfoliates while holding moisture in the skin.
• Allantoin and Aloe Vera — soothe the skin’s response, so it suits those prone to sensitivity.

For evening use only, 2–3 times a week. Cleanse first with the Pigmentation Cleanser. Apply the exfoliator, avoiding the eye area, and let it absorb before applying the Pigmentation Night Serum. This contains an AHA, so a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning is a must.

Works for all skin types wanting to fade dark patches, and also helps acne-prone, congested skin. Not suitable for extremely dry or overly sensitive skin. Patch test first if you react easily.

• Size: 50ml
• Key actives: Mandelic Acid (AHA), Gluconolactone (PHA).
• Sun alert: contains AHAs that may increase sun sensitivity — daily SPF 50 is required.

Clinical studies show Mandelic Acid is a well-tolerated AHA that helps improve the look of hyperpigmentation, including melasma and post-inflammatory marks, with less irritation than smaller-molecule acids such as Glycolic.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before using on your face.

How is this different from a normal exfoliator?

Most exfoliants use fast, small acids that can inflame melanin-rich skin and make dark marks worse. This uses a slow, large-molecule Mandelic Acid with soothing PHA, so it resurfaces without the rebound.

How often can I use it?

2–3 evenings a week is enough. More than that can weaken your barrier.

Can it help with breakouts too?

Yes. Mandelic Acid helps clear the pores and lift congestion, so it also suits acne-prone skin.

Do I need sunscreen with it?

Always. It contains an AHA, so wear SPF 50 every morning to protect your results.
