Lang Wellness Brightening Face & Body Exfoliator with Kojic Acid
A gentle physical exfoliator formulated with kojic acid, perlite (volcanic mineral), and nourishing oils. Designed for use on both face and body. Suitable for all skin types.
What's In It:
• Kojic Acid: A compound produced during the fermentation of certain foods (like rice for sake production). Kojic acid is commonly used in skincare products designed for those concerned about uneven skin tone.
• Perlite: A natural volcanic glass that's been expanded by heat. In skincare, perlite acts as a gentle physical exfoliant—the small particles help manually remove dead skin cells when you massage the product on your skin.
• Organic Shea Butter: A plant butter from shea tree nuts that provides moisturizing benefits to help prevent the drying effect that exfoliators can sometimes cause.
• Organic Jojoba Seed Oil: A lightweight oil that helps the exfoliator glide smoothly on skin without feeling harsh.
• Sodium PCA: A natural moisturizing component that helps attract moisture to skin.
• Betaine: A plant-derived ingredient that helps keep skin hydrated during exfoliation.
• Glycerin (made using organic ingredients): A moisture-attracting ingredient.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that helps protect the formula.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate): A fat-soluble form of vitamin C used as an antioxidant in the formula.
• Essential Oils Blend: Includes lemon peel, patchouli, cedarwood, spearmint, and juniper oils that create the product's scent.
What It Does:
This is a physical exfoliator (sometimes called a scrub). The perlite particles manually buff away dead skin cells on the surface when you massage it on damp skin. The kojic acid is included as an additional ingredient for those focused on skin tone concerns.
How to Use It:
- Use on damp skin (in the shower is ideal)
- Apply a small amount to the area you want to exfoliate
- Gently massage in small circular motions for 30-60 seconds
-
Be gentle—don't scrub hard or you may irritate your skin
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
- Pat skin dry
- Follow with moisturizer
How Often to Use:
Start with 1-2 times per week. You can increase to 2-3 times per week if your skin tolerates it well, but more is not better with exfoliators—over-exfoliating can irritate skin.
Best For:
• All skin types (but use gently if you have sensitive skin) • Those concerned about rough texture • Anyone who wants a physical exfoliator that works on both face and body • People looking to add kojic acid to their routine
What to Expect:
Your skin should feel smoother immediately after use from the physical exfoliation. The product has a distinct scent from the essential oils blend—earthy, minty, and citrusy notes.
Important Notes:
• Sunscreen is essential: When using any product with kojic acid, always use sunscreen during the day. Kojic acid can make skin more sensitive to sun, and sun exposure can worsen the appearance of dark spots.
• Contains lemon peel oil: Citrus oils can increase sun sensitivity, which is another reason why daily sunscreen is non-negotiable when using this product.
• Contains essential oils: Including lemon, patchouli, cedarwood, spearmint, and juniper. Some people's skin is sensitive to essential oils. Patch test if you're unsure.
• Be gentle: Physical exfoliators can irritate skin if you scrub too hard or use too often. Light pressure and infrequent use (1-3x weekly) is best.
• For external use only: Avoid contact with eyes.
• Don't use on irritated, sunburned, or broken skin.
• Patch test recommended: Test on a small area first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Not Suitable For:
• Very sensitive or reactive skin (the combination of physical exfoliation + kojic acid + essential oils may be too much) • Active acne with open wounds • Immediately after professional treatments (waxing, peels, etc.)
Best Practices:
• Always follow with moisturizer after exfoliating • Use sunscreen every day (SPF 30 or higher) • Don't combine with other strong exfoliating products (AHAs, BHAs, retinol) on the same day • Listen to your skin—if it feels irritated, reduce frequency or stop use
