Exfoliant Cell Biotech Probio

1. Use it on clean skin, on the face, neck and décolleté.
2. Take a small amount of the sugar gel from the jar.
3. Wet your fingers, then massage gently. The texture turns into a milky emulsion.
4. You can leave it in place for five minutes before rinsing, for more from the enzymes.
5. Rinse with lukewarm water, then follow with your serum and cream.

How often should I use it?

Aquafolia does not print a frequency. Two or three times a week works for most skin, and once a week if you are reactive or already using acids. It is gentler than a grainy scrub, but exfoliation is still exfoliation. Let your skin set the pace.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Aquafolia lists it for all skin types, and the luffa is soft rather than sharp. Still, if your skin flushes easily, start with a short massage and rinse straight away instead of leaving it on. Skip the five-minute pause until you know how you react.

Why does the texture change?

The formula is built on a sugar technology. Dry, it is a gel. Add water on your fingers and it turns into a moisturizing emulsion as you massage. That is why you rinse without the tight, stripped feeling a grainy scrub usually leaves behind.

Where does it go in my routine?

After cleansing, before everything else. Rinse, pat dry, then apply your serum and cream while the skin is receptive. If you use the CELLULAR Fusion Serum, keep its normal order for that day: eye cream, face cream, then the serum applied on top.
