Revamp Active Exfoliating Vitamin Crystals

Exfoliation is key to having cleaner & brighter skin! It decongests, buffs away dead skin, unclogs blockes pores & gets the skin cells turning over faster resulting in fresher looking skin! Ever noticed those little bumps on your nose after applying makeup? A suitable exfoliant is needed in every skin-care routine to buff these away.   Featuring Malic acid - a gentle exfoliating AHA that penetrates into the skin to restores vitality, deeply decongest & kills bacteria in breakouts to fastrack the healing & minimise superficial scarring. Malic acid is known to break down the sticky glue that binds sebum (oil) & bacteria that clog up the skin & make it appear dull & textured, revealing smoother, brighter & softer skin. Matched with L-Ascorbic acid & Oryza Sativa that both target and action pigmentation & hyperpigmentation through decreasing & suppressing overractive melanin - the pigment colour that makes pigmentation.

Ingredients explained

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder*

We don't have description for this ingredient yet.

L Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - superstar
Also-called: Vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid;Ascorbic Acid | What-it-does: antioxidant, skin brightening, buffering
  • Works best between a concentration of 5-20%
  • Boosts the skin’s own collagen production
  • Fades pigmentation and brown spots
  • If used under sunscreen it boosts its UV protection
  • Extremely unstable and oxidizes very easily in presence of light or air
  • Stable in solutions with water only if pH is less than 3.5 or in waterless formulations
  • Vit E + C work in synergy and provide superb photoprotection
  • Ferulic acid doubles the photoprotection effect of Vit C+E and helps to stabilize Vit C
  • Potent Vit. C serums might cause a slight tingling on sensitive skin

Malic Acid (Apple) - goodie
What-it-does: exfoliant, buffering

Malic acid comes from apple and is an AHA. If these magic three letters don’t tell you anything, click here and read our detailed description on glycolic acid, the most famous AHA. 

So malic acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh.

There is not much research out there about malic acid itself. We could find one comparative study, that compared the effectiveness of glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and malic acid. The first two ones were the winners while malic and citric acid were less effective.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder* - goodie
What-it-does: soothing, moisturizer/humectant

A spray-dried or freeze-dried version of Aloe Leaf Juice. The point of both drying methods is to make water evaporate from the juice and leave just the "useful" components behind.

So the aloe powder has similar soothing, emollient and moisturizing properties as the juice. You can read a bit more about the juice here. 

Citric Acid (Lemon)
What-it-does: buffering

Citric acid comes from citrus fruits and is an AHA. If these magic three letters don’t tell you anything, click here and read our detailed description on glycolic acid, the most famous AHA. 

So citric acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh. 

There is also some research showing that citric acid with regular use (think three months and 20% concentration) can help sun-damaged skin, increase skin thickness and some nice hydrating things called glycosaminoglycans in the skin. 

But according to a comparative study done in 1995, citric acid has less skin improving magic properties than glycolic or lactic acid. Probably that’s why citric acid is usually not used as an exfoliant but more as a helper ingredient in small amounts to adjust the pH of a formulation.
