POLISH exfoliating body lotion
200ML
WHY POLISHED?
Caring for the skin on your body is just as important as caring for the skin on your face. Without the right routine, body skin can easily become dry, itchy, rough or develop small bumps (like keratosis pilaris). Just like your face, your body benefits from regular exfoliation to keep it smooth, hydrated and healthy.
That’s where AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) come in. These gentle exfoliating acids work by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells to the surface, allowing them to shed more easily. This not only helps to clear away dull, dry and rough patches but also encourages new, healthier cells to come through. Over time AHAs improve skin texture, fade uneven pigmentation, soften fine lines from sun exposure and even strengthen the skin barrier by boosting hydration levels. Unlike harsh scrubs that can scratch or irritate, AHAs resurface in a way that’s effective yet gentle.
Polished our body exfoliator, is powered by 15% AHAs to gently yet deeply exfoliate and smooth the skin. Blended with hydrating hyaluronic acids, skin-restoring vitamins B and C, and the antioxidant CoQ10, it works to hydrate, strengthen and protect all while leaving your skin softer, brighter and beautifully refreshed.
SKIN HEROES
Ingredients appear in different concentrations throughout skincare formulations, and each one plays a unique role in helping a product come together and work its magic on your skin. While the spotlight often shines on well-known vitamins, many other hero ingredients quietly do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
The skin heroes inside every Skin Cosmeceuticals product that help renew, rebalance and transform your skin are here to give you insight into the proven ingredients that make these products so special.
Ultra Low Weight Hyaluronic Acid
• Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema and pruritus
• Effective Seborrheic Dermatitis treatment
15% Lactic Acid
• Studies showed increased epidermal and dermal firmness and thickness and clinical improvement in skin smoothness and in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide
• Inhibits Melanosome transfer to Keratinocyte – normalising hyperpigmentation
• Maintains surveillance function of Langerhan Cells during UV exposure – reducing tumour formation
• Stimulates collagen synthesis & fibroblast production – increases elasticity and firmness, reducing fine lines
• Regulates moisture levels – over active sebaceous activity slowed
• Increases ceramide and free fatty acid production – hydration levels restored – inhibits TEWL
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
• Liquid vitamin C is one of the most effective and beneficial cosmetic antioxidants available today
• Works to protect against UV induced cell damage and lipid peroxidation, two of the strongest contributors to the aging process.
• Adds extra protection to the skin on a cellular level by increasing the cell survival rate in the epidermis when exposed to UV rays. Exposure to UV rays is the highest contributor of premature aging and potential skin disorders.
