The Glycolic Cleanser breaks up the dead, keratinized skin, and the Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask polishes off the dead skin. The retinol also starts desquamating the follicle lining so impactions can purge.  For sensitive skin or rosacea, use this product with the Green Tea Citrus Cleanser 2 – 3 times per week.  For use as a mask, apply a thin layer and allow the actives to penetrate into the skin for 5 – 10 minutes.  Add a minimal amount of water and rub gently in circular motions—no rough scrubbing. Then remove completely with water. Ingredients: Jojoba Beads provide the physical exfoliation component of the product. They gently buff away dead surface debris and leave behind jojoba esters, which are a moisture-retaining component of natural skin sebum. Kojic Acid (2%) lightens skin discolorations, slows the production of melanin, and assists in maintaining desired skin coloration after aggressive depigmentation treatments. Retinol dissolves keratinization, resurfaces and smoothes the skin, and stimulates collagen production to improve skin quality and youthfulness. Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil is an astringent that purifies, tones, and brightens the skin. It also promotes taught, toned skin tissue. Malic Acid (L) enhances the desquamation of the stratum corneum and improves the appearance of the skin.  Zanthoxylum Americanum (Prickly Ash) Bark Extract encourages healthy circulation and provides gentle stimulant properties to promote healthy oxygenation. It is also anti-inflammatory.
