Texture & Feel

A lightweight micro-bubble essence that transforms into fine bubbles after application. It spreads easily over the skin and leaves a fresh, hydrated, non-sticky feel while preparing the skin for smoother makeup application.

Product Overview

The main exfoliating ingredient is Gluconolactone at 7%, a PHA known for providing gentler exfoliation than many traditional AHAs. The formula also contains Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA), which provides additional pore and texture care.

Alongside exfoliating ingredients, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate help condition the skin, while Niacinamide, Bakuchiol, and Kojic Acid target dullness, uneven tone, and uneven-looking texture.

The formula contains 8 forms of Hyaluronic Acid, including Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, and Potassium Hyaluronate, helping maintain a hydrated and plump-looking complexion.

Olive Young describes the product as a low-irritation, micro-bubble treatment designed to refine texture and improve the appearance of dead-skin buildup while creating a smoother base for makeup.

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face and gently pat dry.
2. Pump an appropriate amount onto the areas where texture or flaking is a concern.
3. Spread a thin, even layer over the skin.
4. Allow the micro-bubbles to develop and absorb.
5. Use before makeup when you want a smoother application and more refined-looking skin.
6. According to Olive Young, it can also be applied as a sleeping-mask step when desired.

How Not to Use

• Do not apply to broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lips.
• Do not aggressively rub or scrub the skin.
• Do not combine with several strong exfoliating products in the same routine if your skin is sensitive.
• Avoid excessive application, especially when first introducing the product.
• Stop use if persistent burning, redness, swelling, or irritation occurs.

• Normal skin
• Combination skin
• Oily skin
• Dry skin
• Dull-looking skin
• Rough or uneven skin texture
