An exfoliating fluid with 12% AHA + Cactus that instantly leaves the skin refreshed & radiant, and with regular use, it smoothes wrinkles and promotes youthful, healthy skin.
Product features:
- Effective for aging, uneven, dull skin

- Helps overcome dehydration
- Stimulates collagen production, accelerates the fading of pigment spots
- Liquid, water-like consistency that does not need to be washed off

It's the most powerful exfoliating liquid from Geek & Gorgeous, specifically designed to deliver a high 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, leaving the skin visibly smooth and more radiant after the first use. 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.
Who is this product for?
For everyone, especially those who are bothered by aging skin, imperfections, and/or dehydration. Those with very sensitive, redness-prone skin - as with all AHAs - should avoid this product. For them, Geek & Gorgeous Calm Down is worth taking a look at.
How to use:
Ideal to use right after cleansing. Use as a toner, drizzle over your face with a cotton pad, or drip into the palm of your hand. Avoid the immediate eye area! Wait for it to soak in, then apply your favorite serums and moisturizers. Due to the high AHA content, a slight tingling sensation is possible when using it, but this is perfectly normal. On the evenings you use this treatment, do not use any other exfoliating products, including scrubs.
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 30 SPF 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 renowned for its moisturizing properties.
- Nopal Cactus + yeast extract: A combination of extracts rich in peptides with low molecular weight, minerals, and carbohydrates, specifically designed to reduce neurosensory irritation associated with AHAs.
- Galactoarabinan extract: Red pine extract that helps to hydrate the skin, reduces fine wrinkles, and increases 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.
