Frequently Asked Questions

It's designed for gentle exfoliation using glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids plus fine aluminum oxide crystals. Slight tingling may occur; use 2–3 evenings a week and stop if irritation persists.

Use 2–3 evenings a week. Many customers notice smoother, brighter-looking skin within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Individual results vary.

Salicylic acid helps keep pores clear, so it can suit blemish-prone skin. If your skin is sensitive, patch test, start once a week, and don't use it on broken or inflamed skin, including inflamed breakouts.

It helps remove dull surface cells and smooth uneven texture, which can help the look of dark marks and uneven tone over time, especially alongside a brightening serum and daily SPF.

Slight tingling can occur because it contains exfoliating acids. Lasting burning or stinging is not normal: rinse it off and stop use if irritation persists.

It's designed for evening use, so makeup usually goes on more smoothly the next morning. Always apply SPF before makeup during the day.

Smooth and Glowing

The Exfoliating Gel leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. I noticed how much brighter my complexion looked after just one use. It gently removes buildup without making my skin feel stripped or dry. My texture looks more refined and my products absorb better afterward. I use it a few times a week and it fits perfectly into my routine. My skin feels renewed and looks more radiant.

My Skin Feels So Smooth and Clean ✨

I’ve tried a few exfoliators before, but they were always too harsh or left my skin feeling dry. The Absolut Skin Exfoliating Gel is completely different — it’s gentle, but you can still feel it working. After using it twice a week, my skin feels soft, fresh, and looks so much brighter. It really helped smooth out the texture around my cheeks and chin. I love that my skin feels clean without that tight, stripped feeling — it’s definitely a new favorite.
