AQUIFY HYDRATING EXFOLIANT

Skin Priorities Addressed

• Dehydrated, flaky skin
• Rough, uneven texture
• Dullness from dead cell buildup
• Dry patches needing gentle removal
• Skin lacking bounce and vitality

How It Works

This hydration-focused exfoliant addresses the unique needs of dry, dehydrated skin. Papaya enzymes gently dissolve the "glue" holding dead, flaky cells without stripping essential moisture. Finger lime extract provides vitamin C and natural fruit acids that brighten while maintaining the skin's hydration levels. The jojoba beads are especially beneficial for dry skin as they contain natural wax esters that condition while exfoliating. The formula is designed to remove barriers to hydration absorption, allowing subsequent products to penetrate more effectively.
