Skintel/Pro Tips

Botanical extracts like Lemon Aspen and Lillypilly have a natural exfoliating effect on the skin and help to balance sebum to refine the appearance of pores. Though this moisturiser has an exfoliating effect on the skin to help manage congestion, it’s still gentle enough that you can use it after dermal treatments.

I've been using Skinstitut glycolic scrub to exfoliate for around 15 years now. Doesn't irritate my skin at all. Why change products when something works so well for you for so long?
