Smooth Out

description

We have designed Smooth Out to give your skin a clinically proven collagen-boosting amount of AHAs and, at the same time, to be as gentle as possible. The 12% glycolic and lactic acid combination removes the dead skin cells gently, but effectively from the surface of the skin and gives you a healthy glow overnight.
3.5-3.9
pH
10%
Glycolic Acid
2%
Lactic Acid
With ongoing use, it boosts the skin’s own collagen production, smooths fine lines, fades hyperpigmentation and boosts the effectiveness of treatments and moisturizers used afterwards. We combined the AHAs with Nopal Cactus Extract that’s designed to reduce potential neurosensory irritation caused by higher amounts of alpha hydroxy acids and we also added extra humectants to boost the water-binding ability of lactic and glycolic acid.

who is it for?

Everyone! Well almost. :) Unless your skin is very sensitive or prone to redness (in this case take a look at Calm Down) Smooth Out should work. We especially recommend it, if your focus is smart-aging, if you have hyperpigmentation, or if would like more even, smooth and glowy skin.
Skin type
all skin types except for sensitive, redness-prone
Skin problem
dull skin, aging, dark spots, uneven skin tone
Texture
water-like, weightless liquid, like a toner

how to use

It’s 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. Avoid using around the eye area!

You can use Smooth Out from once a week to once a day depending on your skin’s level of tolerance. You might experience some light tingling after application, which is normal and will go away soon. You can reduce the tingling sensation, if you apply the product to completely dry skin. Do not use other exfoliants or scrubs at the same time as Smooth Out.

IMPORTANT: AHA acids make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Use a good SPF in the morning!

Shelf life: 2 years from production (unopened), 8 months PAO (period after opening)

ingredients & research

key ingredients:

Glycolic acid – The most proven and most researched AHA that not only gently exfoliates the surface of the skin, but also boosts the skin’s own collagen production and fades brown spots.

Lactic acid – The second most researched AHA that is not only a gentle, but effective exfoliating acid, but is also a fantastic humectant.

Nopal cactus + yeast extract – A unique combination of cactus and yeast extracts containing low molecular weight peptides, carbohydrates and bound minerals designed to reduce neurosensory irritation caused by the application of high amounts of AHAs.

Galactoarabinan – A natural polysaccharide extracted from the larch tree that reduces Trans-epidermal Water Loss as well as increasing the efficacy of skin exfoliants.

Panthenol – A classic skincare ingredient that is a reliable soothing, moisturising and skin-protecting agent.

Xylitylglucoside + Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol – A sugar based humectant trio that increases the skin’s water-binding capacity and strengthens the skin’s barrier.

Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer – A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid which helps keep the skin nicely moisturized.

Aqua (Water), Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Methyl Gluceth-20, Galactoarabinan, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Opuntia Ficus‐Indica (Prickly Pear) Extract, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Pentylene Glycol, Glucose, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol

Great Exfolient

I've been using Smooth Out for about 6 months. I really like how it smooths and exfoliates without irritating my skin.

Better than The Ordinary’s toner

Superior to The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% toner.

Absolutely essential in my routine

This product is an absolute game changer! I was using it for a year and didn't repurchase for a couple of years for goodness knows what reason but now that I've started using it again, I know not to make the mistake of skipping it again!

It really keeps my breakouts under control and the change in the texture of my skin is noticeable. Face feels flawless when I'm washing it and makeup goes on much smoother as well. I use it every night and have noticed that when I am getting a pimple, it doesn't come to a head when I use this and flattens on its own.

I had an issue with the packing when I bought it and the customer service team responded promptly and offered a replacement which I got really quickly despite being in Melbourne so was just as pleased with the service as I am with the product!
