Designed to be used in the shower, you can either pour a capful into a bowl of water and splash onto skin for 15 seconds, or you could just pour a capful into your palms and splash directly onto your skin for 15 seconds before continuing with diluting the formula by letting the shower run directly onto your face. This blend of lactic acid and berries extracts gently exfoliate, infuses skin with antioxidants and balances its pH to restore skin health and glow.

Apply a generous layer and leave it on like a mask for ten minutes before rinsing to give skin an instant dose of radiance. Or carry it with you on long-haul flights and apply a thin layer as a protective moisturiser.

For a weekly deep-cleansing ritual, apply a generous layer and rinse off after 10 to 15 minutes. You can also gently massage the mask as you're removing it to further enhance its exfoliating benefits. And if you have an emergency zit, you can also apply this mask directly onto spots and leave on overnight to reduce swelling and help it heal.
