Brightening Micro-Exfoliant for Dull, Uneven and Blemish-Prone Skin, Acid-Free Exfoliation with Fuller's Earth

Acid-Free Brightening Micro-Exfoliant with Fuller's Earth Clay for Dull, Rough and Blemish-Prone Skin

A brightening micro-exfoliant for dull or rough-feeling skin. As your skin naturally renews itself, dead skin cells build up on the surface, making the skin look dull and feel congested. Sometimes they collect in the pores, where they can show up as spots and blackheads.

Regular exfoliation helps keep your skin bright, soft and healthy-looking. Saaren Taika Brightening Micro-Exfoliant gently lifts away dead skin cells with a fine natural exfoliant and Fuller's Earth clay, while Fucus DuoActive® and Fucus Fusion® from Bothnian Sea bladderwrack support your skin barrier, so exfoliation does not leave the skin feeling tight.

Exfoliates Without Acids or Tightness

Many exfoliating products cleanse effectively but leave the skin feeling tight. In the Brightening Micro-Exfoliant, a fine natural exfoliant and Fuller's Earth clay remove dead skin cells and excess sebum without exfoliating acids. At the same time, oat oil, seed oils and our bladderwrack active ingredients keep your skin soft.

Regular exfoliation helps the skin look more even, which can also make surface unevenness and post-blemish marks less visible.

Developed and Made by Us, from Start to Finish

It is common in skincare to add a few active ingredients to a ready-made base developed by someone else. We do not make our exfoliant that way. Saaren Taika Brightening Micro-Exfoliant is developed from start to finish in our own product development in Finland, where it is also made and shipped to you. That is why every ingredient has been chosen to support what the exfoliant is meant to do.

Key Active Ingredients

A fine natural exfoliant lifts dead skin cells mechanically. Fuller's Earth clay is known for binding excess sebum and impurities.

Centella asiatica extract is known for its skin-calming properties, and green tea extract for its antioxidant properties. Oat oil together with apricot kernel and sunflower seed oils soften and nourish your skin, so it feels smooth after exfoliating.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin on the face and neck. Massage gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area, and rinse with lukewarm water. Use once or twice a week depending on your skin's needs, then continue with toner, serum and moisturiser. For a deeper cleanse, follow with our Deep Cleansing Face Mask.
