What makes the product unique?
Geek & Gorgeous's most powerful exfoliating liquid is specifically designed to deliver a large amount of AHA acid to your skin while still being gentle and kind. Containing 12% AHA acid, it effectively but gently exfoliates the skin's surface, making the skin visibly smooth and radiant after the first use. And with regular, long-term use, the formula's glycolic acid + lactic acid combination stimulates collagen production (and thus smoothes wrinkles), accelerates the fading of pigmentation spots, and increases the skin's ability to retain water.
The combination of cactus + yeast extract alongside AHA acids reduces neurosensory irritation caused by high levels of AHAs, and the extra water-binding ingredients enhance the moisturizing effect of AHAs, especially lactic acid.
Who is this product for?
For everyone, especially those who are bothered by skin aging, skin imperfections, and/or dehydration. Those with very sensitive, redness-prone skin - as with all AHAs - are best to avoid this product. For them, Geek & Gorgeous Calm Down is worth taking a look at.
How to use:
The ideal first step after cleansing the face. Use it like a toner, drizzled over your face with a cotton pad or dripped into the palm of your hand, smooth it over your face! Avoid the immediate eye area! Wait for it to soak in and then apply your favorite serums and moisturizers. Due to the high AHA content, a slight tingling sensation is possible when using, this is perfectly normal. On the evenings when you use this treatment, do not use other exfoliating products, including exfoliators.
Depending on your skin type and your tolerance to AHA acids, you can use it every day or just once or twice a week. If you've never exfoliated or used a product of similar strength, start gently and gradually get your skin used to it. Use 1-2 times a week for the first two weeks, then if all is well and there is no visible peeling or irritation, you can go up to 3-4 times a week. If everything is still fine after two or three more weeks, then use once a day. If you experience visible peeling or other irritation, reduce the frequency.
IMPORTANT: AHA acids make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 in the morning!
Key ingredients:
- Glycolic and Lactic Acids: The most proven and researched AHA acids that gently exfoliate the skin's surface. Glycolic acid is also an excellent anti-aging ingredient and stimulates collagen production, while lactic acid is famous for its moisturizing properties.
- Nopal Cactus + Yeast Extract: A combination of extracts rich in low molecular weight peptides, minerals, and carbohydrates, specifically designed to reduce neurosensory irritation associated with AHAs.
- Galactoarabinan: Extract from red pine to hydrate the skin, smooth fine lines, and increase the effectiveness of AHA acids.
- Xylitylglucoside + Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol: A sugar-based moisturizing trio that increases the skin's ability to retain water and strengthens the skin's protective barrier.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: A new generation of "hyaluronic acid mesh" with water retention properties several times greater than those of plain hyaluronic acid, helping to provide long-lasting hydration.
