Oils have always been said to be bad for our skin. But there are certain oils that can be used to remove the bad ones. When massaged into the skin, oils in the cleanser bind to surface impurities [pulling out dirt without clogging pores] and allow them to be comfortably rinsed away leaving the skin clean, soft and hydrated, explains Dr. Diane Walder, a Miami-based cosmetic dermatologist.
A celebration of home-grown treatment oils, our Pro-Glycolic Absolute Anti-Ageing Facial Oil is infused with Glycolic Acid to exhibit a remarkable skin-strengthening, softening, firming and hydrating properties.
The Science
Packed with omega fatty acids, vitamin E, and linoleic acids, Argan Oil works to lightly moisturize your skin, aims to soften dry patches and reduce acne. “It helps control your skin’s oil production by balancing out your sebum levels, so you’ll have fewer breakouts and less irritation than before,” says Dr. Wexler.
Avocado Oil aims to intensively hydrate and soften your skin whilst with its humectant properties, it contributes to retaining moisture. “Using it topically can allow the oils to soften and hydrate the skin from the outside making it appear plumper and brighter. And it's completely natural: no chemicals, additives or perfumes,” says Gabriela Peacock.
Glycolic Acid aims to penetrate the delicate skin deeply boosting its firmness whilst contributing to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, crows-feet and puffiness. “It penetrates deeply into the skin and “un-glues” dead skin cells and removes them from the skin, making skin brighter and evening out skin tone, all while encouraging new cells to appear,” says Mark Curry.
