Why We Love It
Our favourite exfoliant for addressing signs of ageing as well as brightening and smoothing texture. It's skin friendly, effective and can help increase collagen production!
We have designed Smooth Out to give your skin a clinically proven collagen-boosting amount of AHAs and, at the same time, to be as gentle as possible. The 12% glycolic and lactic acid combination removes the dead skin cells gently, but effectively from the surface of the skin and gives you a healthy glow overnight.
With ongoing use, it boosts the skin’s own collagen production, smooths fine lines, fades hyperpigmentation and boosts the effectiveness of treatments and moisturizers used afterwards.
We combined the AHAs with Nopal Cactus Extract that’s designed to reduce potential neurosensory irritation caused by higher amounts of alpha hydroxy acids and we also added extra humectants to boost the water-binding ability of lactic and glycolic acid.
We especially recommend it if your focus is smart-aging, if you have hyperpigmentation, or if would like more even, smooth and glowy skin.
ROUTINE
Apply as the first step after cleansing to a dry face. You can use Smooth Out from once a week to once a day depending on your skin’s level of tolerance. You might experience some light tingling after application, which is normal and will soon dissipate.
HOW TO APPLY
Use it as a toner, either with a cotton pad or pour it into your hands and apply with fingertips.
FOLLOW WITH
Other serums, emulsions, creams, oils and sunscreen during the day.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Due to potential irritation/sensitivity, it's not recommended to combine multiple exfoliants within the same routine.
IMPORTANT: AHA acids make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Use a good SPF in the morning!

THE FORMULA FOCUS INGREDIENTS
Glycolic Acid
The most proven and most researched AHA that not only gently exfoliates the surface of the skin, but also boosts the skin’s own collagen production and fades brown spots.
Lactic Acid
The second most researched AHA that is not only a gentle, but effective exfoliating acid, but is also a fantastic humectant.
Nopal cactus + yeast extract
A unique combination of cactus and yeast extracts containing low molecular weight peptides, carbohydrates and bound minerals designed to reduce neurosensory irritation caused by the application of high amounts of AHAs.
Galactoarabinan
A natural polysaccharide extracted from the larch tree that reduces Trans-epidermal Water Loss as well as increasing the efficacy of skin exfoliants.
Xylitylglucoside + Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol
A sugar based humectant trio that increases the skin’s water-binding capacity and strengthens the skin’s barrier.
Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer
A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid which helps keep the skin nicely moisturized.
