full Details

Apricot Seed Powder gives this deep-cleansing, exfoliating mask the power to clarify and refine the skin, with assistance from five other gentle-acting natural acid exfoliants.

Within this gentle-action formula, Gluconolactone is the next-generation ingredient helping to regenerate and repair the skin barrier, boosting moisture levels alongside Aloe Leaf Juice, while Alpha Hydroxy Acids of exceptional quality come as a four: Tartaric Acid from Grape, Malic Acid from Apple, Citric Acid from Lemon and Mandelic Acid from Almond, all harvested in Italy. These gentle acids aid skin renewal, working to protect collagen and improve uneven skin tone to delay signs of ageing.

How to use

After cleansing and toning, apply a layer to the face, neck and décolleté. Leave on for 5-10 minutes to allow the natural chemical exfoliants to work, then remove with lukewarm water. For optional additional physical exfoliation, gently massage the granules on the face, neck, and décolleté in slow circular motions before rinsing off. Follow with Steps 3-5.

Use Apricot Penta-Acid Polish 1-2 times a week, depending on skin type.

Obsessed

"Love this mask/face cleanser!"

— Rose B. (5/5)

Incredible facial polish

"I exfoliate weekly, usually once, maybe twice. My skin has redness and pigmentation issues, but I am an avid skincare lover so I feel very hydrated and soft as a baseline. I wasn't expecting much of a difference in this product compared to others I've used, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how baby soft my face felt after using this. I felt a slight "it's working" tingle, but never irritation. The smell is gentle and lovely. I layered the pistachio face mask on afterwards and sat back and admired. A little goes a long way, so at the price pint of IF products, I'm thrilled to know I'll have this for quite a while. I look forward to seeing long lasting effects!"

— Natalie A. (5/5)
