Daily AHA anti-ageing facial moisturiser
Description
Exuviance Glycolic Expert Moisturiser is a dermatologist-developed daily face moisturiser formulated with 10% Glycolic Acid in a pH-optimised system to deliver resurfacing anti-ageing benefits with minimal irritation. Designed for normal to combination skin, this lightweight lotion gently exfoliates and lightly hydrates to improve overall skin texture, smooth the look of fine crepe-lines and wrinkles and reveal a more luminous, even-toned complexion. AHP Amino Acid (a collagen-building peptide) helps support the skin’s natural collagen for a firming boost, while Vitamin E and botanical extracts provide antioxidant and soothing care. The formula is fragrance-free, dye-free, paraben-free, oil-free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.
