Élixir Exfoliant
Reveal brighter, softer, smoother skin—and a healthier scalp—in one effortless step.
Élixir Exfoliant functions as a mask, an overnight treatment, and a rejuvenating scalp ritual. Use it as a 30-minute treatment for gentle brightening and smoothing, apply before bed to wake up with visibly more even, luminous skin, or massage into the scalp and through hair ends to lift buildup, restore balance, and nourish.
A multitasking ritual that softens, nourishes, and awakens—leaving skin noticeably smoother, brighter, and renewed, and scalp and strands refreshed.

Apply a full dropper to clean skin and leave on for 30 minutes. Dampen the FF muslin cloth and gently polish in circular motions until the cloth comes away clean, revealing brighter, smoother skin. Use 1–3 times a week on alternate days as an exfoliating treatment mask. Follow with your normal hydrating and moisturizing skincare routine.
For overnight use, apply as the last step in your evening routine a few times a week to wake up with visibly more luminous skin.
Massage into the scalp to lift buildup and restore balance, working through hair ends to nourish and revive. Let the oil sit for a desired amount of time, from 30 minutes to overnight for deeper treatment. Shampoo your hair thoroughly while dry to remove the oil, then condition as usual.
FOUNDER TIPS: Use it as an exfoliating lip treatment for très smooth lips.
NOTES:
—As with any product or cloth, be gentle. Over-scrubbing can disrupt the skin barrier.
—AHAs can increase the sensitivity of the skin, so take the necessary precautions with sun exposure.
—If you use a retinoid or retinol, try alternating with Élixir Exfoliant on different days. Research suggests combining an AHA exfoliant and retinoid can improve hyperpigmentation, but using them together on the same day may cause dryness and irritation.
MUSLIN CLOTH CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
—Wash the muslin cloth between uses, as dirty cloths can spread bacteria back onto the skin.
—Suitable for machine washing and tumble dry low.
