A SENSITIVE-SAFE APPROACH TO EXFOLIATION.

Gentle Exfoliator is as effective as it is soothing. This sensitive-skin-safe toner combines a very considered blend of lactic acid (the most gentle AHA), a slow releasing poly-hydroxy acid (PHA), and aloe vera extract to remove dead skin cells without disrupting your skin barrier.

ALOE VERA LEAF JUICE

Rich in vitamins C, E and beta carotene, aloe vera is highly nourishing, soothing on the skin, helps to reduce flaking, and restores suppleness to dry skin. 

LACTIC ACID

An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, assisting in cell renewal and skin rejuvenation for an all round youthful look.

GLUCONOLACTONE

A poly-hydroxy acid, or PHA, that acts as a preservative, protecting Go-To products from microorganisms and also has the added benefit of helping to increase skin moisturisation.

This exfoliator is perfect for my sensitive skin. Incorporating it into my nightly routine has been easy, and my skin feels smoother already.

Love this for my sensitive skin. My skin is struggling at the moment so I was worried about using a chemical exfoliator but I love it. My skin is so soft after using and it is very gentle.

For someone with sensitive skin, this exfoliator is exactly as the name suggests! I can use it without any flare up.

A sensitive-safe approach to exfoliation.

In this formula, you’ll find 5% of skincare’s most notorious showoff: Lactic acid. Both a handworking exfoliator and a powerful humectant, lactic acid sloughs away dead skin cells and increases skin cell renewal—all the while, drawing water into the skin to boost hydration. It gets to work alongside the ultra-gentle gluconolactone. Used at 4%, this PHA delivers mild, progressive exfoliation while its humectant properties help replenish the skin. 

We’ve balanced these exfoliators with skin soothers, proven to reduce discomfort and calm irritation. Tasmanian pepper extract helps reduce the appearance of redness meanwhile aloe vera extract calms and nourishes. 

It’s exfoliation levelled up: Smoother texture, boosted hydration, and a calmer complexion overall. Use once or twice a week and always in the PM. 

Important! When using AHA products, wearing daily SPF becomes even more crucial. So, do it!

    Love this

    Was a bit sceptical as I’m so use to scrubbing my face with abrasives to exfoliate but makes my skin feeling clean and amazing.

    love it for my skin

    I have dry, sensitive skin and this works beautifully for me. Doesn't leave my skin red. Doesn't leave me feeling too dry. I always apply face hero afterwards and it feels and looks delightful.

    Disappointed

    I love so many Go-To products but this one is just too harsh for my skin. I’ve tried it a few times but it leaves my skin red, hot and tender.

    Not worth the price and way too gentle like a toner. Saw no effects.
