Apricot Penta-Acid Polish
Benefits
The Apricot Penta-Acid Polish by Irene Forte is a dual-action exfoliating scrub mask that deeply cleanses the skin while refining texture through a combination of plant-based chemical and physical exfoliation.
Gluconolactone—a gentle Polyhydroxy Acid—supports controlled surface renewal and brightens skin tone, improving overall clarity through gradual, even exfoliation. While a synergistic blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Tartaric Acid from Grape, Malic Acid from Apple, Citric Acid from Lemon, and Mandelic Acid from Almond) works at a bond-level to loosen the connections between dead skin cells.
Apricot Seed Powder completes the exfoliation process through physical resurfacing, mechanically lifting away residual dead skin cells and surface impurities. Working directly at the outermost layer, it refines what has been loosened by the acid complex, supporting a more uniform skin appearance.
This final polishing step delivers immediate tactile smoothness, leaving the skin feeling comfortable and refined in texture. The result is skin that appears more even in tone and naturally brighter, with a clarified, polished finish.
