Key ingredients and what they do for your skin

🍎 Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water
The base of the essence instead of ordinary water.
A natural source of malic acid and antioxidants.
It contributes to skin vitality and makes the formula exceptional compared to ordinary exfoliants.

🧪 Glycolic Acid (7%)
The AHA with the smallest molecule in the group.
It penetrates the skin effectively and helps loosen dead cells from the skin surface.
It contributes to a smoother texture, a more even tone and less clogged pores.
The 7% concentration is effective yet gentle enough for regular use.

💊 Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
Helps even out skin tone, improve the appearance of pores and support overall radiance.
It works with glycolic acid for a more even and fresher skin look.

🌱 Panthenol (provitamin B5)
Soothes and helps maintain skin comfort after exfoliation.
It contributes to a feeling of softness and smoothness.

💧 Sodium Hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid)
Helps attract and retain moisture in the skin.
It contributes to a feeling of hydration and comfort even after exfoliation.

Texture

🤍 A light, watery essence that absorbs quickly into the skin.
It leaves no greasy or heavy feel.
After application the skin feels fresh and smooth.
The scent is very delicate and natural, of apple.

Use

🪄 Use in the evening as part of your routine, after cleansing and before serum and moisturizer.

✅ Apply a small amount to a cotton pad or directly to clean, dry skin.
✅ Gently spread over the whole face or target problem areas.
✅ Let it absorb, do not rinse.
✅ Follow with serum and moisturizer.
✅ Always use SPF in the morning; acids increase sensitivity to the sun.

Frequently asked questions

❓ Is this essence suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, but with caution. 7% glycolic acid is effective. If your skin is very reactive, start with use once a week and gradually increase. The formula contains panthenol and hyaluronic acid, which help maintain comfort after exfoliation.

❓ Do I have to use SPF after using it?

Yes, always. AHA acids increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. If you use AHA 7 in the evening, always apply at least SPF 30 in the morning. Without SPF you risk pigmentation and irritation.

❓ Can I combine the essence with retinol?

Not on the same evening. AHA acids and retinol are both strong active ingredients that can irritate the skin together. Alternate them every other evening, or use AHA 2 to 3 times a week and retinol on the other evenings.

❓ How soon will I see results?

Most users notice a smoother texture and fresher skin tone after 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. Improvement in the appearance of acne marks and a more even tone is more pronounced after 4 to 8 weeks.

❓ How is AHA different from BHA?

AHA acids, such as the glycolic acid in this product, exfoliate the skin surface and help even out tone and texture. BHA acids, such as salicylic acid, penetrate the pore and clean it from within. For clogged pores and oily skin, a combination of both, alternated in the routine, is ideal.
