Calm Down
description
who is it for?
how to use
It is an ideal first step after cleansing your skin. Use it as a toner, either with a cotton pad or pour it into your hands and pat it on as men do with after-shave. Wait until it is absorbed (brush your teeth in the meantime :)) and you can follow up with your favourite serums and moisturizers.
IMPORTANT: The product contains BHA, do not use it if you are allergic to Aspirin.
GOOD TO KNOW: This exfoliant contains only acids that do not make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so it is an ideal gentle exfoliant for the summer. (However, UV light being the number one external skin-damaging factor, we still do recommend using a good SPF every morning.)
Shelf life: 2 years from production (unopened), 8 months PAO (period after opening)

Doux et efficace
I mix this product with Garancia vitamin C powder to get all the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C.
It’s also a very good product for gently exfoliating the skin. Thanks Geek & Gorgeous !
Cet exfoliant est très doux, je l'ai introduit très facilement en le mélangeant à ma poudre vitamine C Garancia. Je m'en sers tous les jours, c'est un très bon produit pour commencer l'exfoliation ou si on a la peau sensible.
I really like this one, doesn't irritate my skin at all and seems to help with acne!
60 aged, I wax my beard, so I hope to prevent ingrow hairs. I saw no difference with or without the lotion. After, about hydarting, seems working fine.
