Gentle Triple-Action Enzyme + PHA Resurfacing Treatment
Estimated shipping: August 30–September 9
Pre-order
The immediate visible reward of a prestige resurfacing treatment, with the sensory restraint of a sensitive-skin polish.
Designed as a gentler alternative to a traditional chemical peel, this multi-path treatment combines bromelain enzymes, gluconolactone, lactobionic acid, and biodegradable jojoba esters to sweep away dull surface buildup and refine texture without the aggressive sting, visible peeling, or prolonged recovery associated with stronger resurfacing procedures.
Enzymes loosen protein-rich dead-cell buildup, PHAs encourage controlled exfoliation while binding water, and ultra-fine esters lift away what has been released without harsh abrasion. Ectoin, panthenol, allantoin, and aloe help preserve comfort throughout the process.
The result is fresher, more even-looking skin with improved softness, luminosity, and surface refinement, without the stripped or over-polished feel of a traditional scrub or the downtime of a peel. Use 2-3 times weekly to reveal fresh skin and encourage new skin renewal.

Gluconolactone + Lactobionic Acid
Polyhydroxy acids help loosen the bonds between dull surface cells while supporting water retention and a comfortable finish.
Pineapple-Derived Bromelain
Enzymatic exfoliation helps break down excess keratin and dull surface buildup without relying on an aggressive acid peel.
Ultra-Fine Jojoba Beads
Controlled circular movement carries loosened surface debris away, completing the Sweep Method without a harsh scrub feel.
The Resurfacing Triad
Enzyme + PHA Resurfacing Polish combines two complementary polyhydroxy acids with pineapple-derived bromelain to loosen dull buildup through multiple pathways before the Sweep Method carries it away.

The Alchemy Approach
Traditional scrubs rely primarily on friction. Acid peels rely on intensity. Enzyme masks can be gentle, but often require longer treatment times. The Enzyme + PHA Resurfacing Polish combines three complementary forms of renewal in one refined, three-minute ritual.
Bromelain helps loosen dull, protein-based surface buildup.
Gluconolactone and lactobionic acid gently refine uneven texture.
Spherical jojoba beads sweep away what has already been released.
A Different Approach to Resurfacing
Designed to deliver immediate smoothness and radiance without relying on harsh abrasion or an aggressive acid experience.

"This is the weekly reset my routine was missing. It lifts the dull, slightly rough feeling without turning Sunday night into an exfoliation project. A few minutes later, my skin feels fresh and ready for the rest of my routine." - Ebony R.
