If you want smooth, glowing skin, the secret is exfoliating to encourage cell turnover and reveal the new skin cells below.
Recently, I’ve been loving the Farmacy Beauty Honey Glow 17% resurfacing acid serum as part of my weekly routine to keep my skin looking and feeling its best. This chemical exfoliating serum is great for those already using acids, looking to move to the next stage in their skincare journey with a slightly stronger formula.
What’s to love
- It’s a potent formula – not one to be overused – but I’ve never experienced any irritation from it.
- It fits in beautifully to my weekly evening rotation, no need to use every day to get glowing results.
- You wake up with glowing, dewy skin that feels smoother to touch.
- Part of Farmacy’s continued commitment to sustainability, the serum features upcycled prickly pear to help soothe skin and is housed in a sustainable, mono-material pump.
- Love that the brand sources its ingredients from local, organic farms, and uses sustainable, recyclable packaging.
- It is formulated without mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, gluten, or fragrances.
- The packaging feels luxe: a heavy glass bottle with a fabulous gold cap.
How does it work?
This 17% acid blend contains an AHA/BHA blend to resurface the skin.
It is a 10% AHA blend in the Honeymoon Glow consists of glycolic, lactic, and fruit acids (hibiscus), the 1% BHA blend consists of willowbark and salicylic acid, and the 3% flower acid consists of hibiscus flower.
It also contains hyaluronic acid and buckwheat honey to keep the skin hydrated.
Its quite a thin, liquidly serum, smoothing easily over the skin and absorbs quickly. Sometimes you get a ‘tingle’ when applying, which is common with AHAs and BHAs, this doesn’t happen to me every time but it can happen.
I love to use this once or twice a week in my evening rotation paring with a nourishing cream on top. Glowing skin, hello!
As always, make sure to apply SPF the following day.
