Lactic Acid
This alpha hydroxy acid helps smooth the skin and stimulates cell turnover and renewal without drying out the skin. You'll find it along with other AHAs and exfoliating fruit enzymes in Rapid Reveal Peel.
Retinol
Pure vitamin A is the gold standard for a more radiant skin appearance and less visible signs of aging. You'll find it in Overnight Retinol Repair and Age Reversal Eye Complex.
Phytic Acid
Found in rice bran, this skin-soothing phytochemical helps safely rid skin of dulling debris. It is found in Daily Microfoliant® and Daily Superfoliant™ where it is pulverized into an ultra-fine powder gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
Prickly Pear Extract
This non-acidic blend is derived from a hearty succulent from the Sonoran Desert that thrives in adverse conditions. It helps speed up the skin's natural exfoliation process and reduce the appearance of aging. You'll find it in the form of a scrub with MultiVitamin Thermafoliant®.
Salicylic Acid
This skin-smoothing, breakout-friendly beta hydroxy acid helps remove dead skin cells by breaking down the bonds between cells. It is included in Gentle Cream Exfoliant along with Lactic Acid.
Hibiscus Fruit Extract
This rich source of vitamin C and pyruvic acid has excellent moisturizing properties and does not burn while smoothing and brightening the skin. The Daily Resurfacer scrub, which also contains salicylic acid, is available as a leave-on scrub.
