Key Ingredients

This formula features Saccharomyces and Grape Extracts to boost radiance, Lactic Acid to refine and hydrate, and Tasmanian Pepper and Arginine to soothe and calm the skin.

Saccharomyces Extract + Grape Extract 

TeraCeutic™ Ferment provides gentle exfoliation, supporting cell turnover to refine texture, boost clarity, and enhance radiance while maintaining hydration.

Lactic Acid

A gentle AHA, Lactic Acid breaks down dead skin cell bonds to encourage exfoliation, improve texture, and draw in moisture for a smoother, brighter complexion.

Tasmanian Pepper Leaf Extract

Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phyto-compounds, this native Australian extract helps soothe redness, calm skin discomfort, and protect against environmental stressors.

how to use

1. After cleansing, apply 2-3 drops to the palm and gently press into face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

designed to be refilled

We design skincare that is made to last. Our refill range lets you continue using your signature vessel while reducing waste. Refills are kerbside recyclable, cost less than a full-size product, and ensure you always have your favourites on hand.

Always Refined, Exfoliating Essence is an active, yet gentle skin-perfecting chemical exfoliator that effortlessly helps to renew skin to reveal a brighter and bouncier complexion.
Chemical exfoliants use acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells, improving texture and radiance without physical scrubbing.

It refines skin texture, brightens the complexion, minimises pores, and provides light hydration.
Use it daily, either in the morning or evening, after cleansing and before serum or moisturiser.

outstanding product!
I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and have noticed a VISIBLE difference in my skin. I love that the concentration is strong enough that I actually feel it working, my skin has become so much smoother and clearer, the only word to describe is refined. My make up is going on smoother and I definitely notice less wrinkles. Would 110% recommend this product as your number 1, must add to your daily routine. If you get nothing else, let this one be the one!

Game changer for combination skin
I have combination skin and used to get stubborn dry patches that nothing seemed to fix.. until I tried the al.ive body Exfoliating Essence. It’s completely transformed my skin. It feels smoother, more balanced, and those dry areas are gone. It’s gentle but so effective and my skin has never looked or felt better.

Refining skin texture
From day one this exfoliating essence makes a noticeable difference. Smoothing my uneven skin texture, improving my damaged skin and creating a non-oily foundation to build upon with my other Al.Live skin products. Highly recommended as step one after cleansing.
