For congestion & rough texture
Clarity, taken slowly
Rough texture and congestion are usually spent cells lingering too long. Coax them off gently — never scrub — and seal what's underneath.
An enriched foaming cleanser that lifts the day without stripping
A clay mask once or twice a week, for the look of congestion
Plain hydration, so skin doesn't overcompensate with oil
Or build it piece by piece

Gentle resurfacing, and why texture answers to patience, not pressure.
Questions
Do I need an acid?
A chemical exfoliant such as glycolic acid helps many people with texture, a few nights a week. None of our ingredient lists contains one, so if you want an acid, choose it elsewhere and keep the rest of the routine gentle.
Can I scrub instead?
We'd rather you didn't — physical scrubs often damage the barrier. Gentle cleansing and a clay mask do the work without the friction.
