Fresh Face Gentle Hydrating Exfoliant

Gentle exfoliation for smoother, brighter, hydrated skin

Fresh Face is a gentle liquid facial exfoliant created to smooth dull, uneven skin without leaving it feeling tight or stripped.

The hydration-first formula combines gluconolactone PHA and white willow bark with hyaluronic acid, snow mushroom and calming botanical extracts. It gently lifts away dull surface cells while helping skin retain moisture, revealing a softer, fresher and more radiant-looking complexion.

Ideal for anyone who wants the benefits of regular exfoliation without an aggressive scrub or harsh, drying toner.

 

Why your skin will love it

• Gently exfoliates dull surface cells
• Helps smooth rough or uneven-looking texture
• Boosts hydration for softer, plumper-looking skin
• Leaves skin feeling fresh and comfortable, rather than tight
• Supports a brighter, more radiant complexion
• Prepares the skin beautifully for serum and moisturiser

 

Hero ingredients

Gluconolactone PHA
A gentle polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin’s surface while also supporting hydration. PHAs are generally considered milder than many traditional exfoliating acids.

White Willow Bark
A botanical extract traditionally used in skincare formulations designed for dull, congested or uneven-looking skin.

Snow Mushroom
A moisture-loving botanical extract that helps leave skin feeling soft, plump and hydrated.

Hyaluronic Acid
Helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a fresh, supple and comfortably hydrated complexion.

Centella Asiatica
A calming botanical extract that helps soothe and support delicate-feeling skin.

Green Tea
An antioxidant-rich botanical extract that helps support skin exposed to everyday environmental stressors.

Rose Water
A refreshing botanical water that contributes to the formula’s naturally delicate aroma and sensorial feel.

How to use

After cleansing, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin using your fingertips or a reusable cotton pad. Sweep gently over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Begin by using Fresh Face two or three evenings a week. Increase the frequency gradually according to your skin’s response.

Follow with Face Food Serum and Saving Face Moisturising Cream.

Do not rinse. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin. Patch test before first use and wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day.

Who it is for

 Fresh Face is ideal for skin that feels:

• Dull or lacklustre
• Dehydrated
• Rough or uneven
• Congested
• In need of a gentle radiance boost

Suitable for most skin types, including mature, dry, combination and sensitive-prone skin. If your skin is highly reactive, introduce it gradually and patch test first.
