This 5% formulation offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. A stronger 10% formula is available here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use.
