The unique mechanism
the six-active glow complex
A body wash is on your skin for ninety seconds, so it has to work fast. This one exfoliates two ways at once, then leaves the six actives behind.
Vitamin C
Antioxidant cover in the one step of the routine that reaches everywhere — back, shoulders, the places a lotion gets rushed.
Niacinamide
Works on the look of uneven patches while supporting the skin barrier, so exfoliating doesn't leave you tight.
Arbutin
A well-tolerated tone corrector that targets the appearance of stubborn marks.
Azelaic acid
The one dermatologists reach for when a blemish has gone but the mark hasn't — which is most of what body unevenness actually is.
Licorice root
Calming, and long used to soften the appearance of discolouration.
Carrot seed oil
Antioxidant-rich and warm-toned, so the finish reads lit rather than stripped.
The exfoliation, two ways
Cellulose beads for physical polish; lactic, salicylic and citric acid at gentle levels for the texture beads can't reach. The free gloves add the third.
What it will not do
Change your skin colour. This is a brightening and tone-evening wash. No hydroquinone, no mercury, no steroids — and we'd say so on the label if there were.
Honest comparison
most brightening washes are shower gel with a claim on the front.

Why we made this
The brightening aisle kept offering our customers one of two things: something that only moisturised, or something that promised to change their colour. Neither is what she asked for.
She asked for her tone to look even. For the mark left by last year's ingrown to stop announcing itself. So we put six actives in one bottle, on a base she'd actually reach for twice a day — and we tested it on our own skin first.

Before you buy
the questions we actually get
Will this lighten my skin?
No. This is a brightening and tone-evening wash — it works on the look of dark spots, marks and dullness so your tone reads more even. It is not a skin lightener, it contains no hydroquinone, mercury or steroids, and we don't sell it as one.
Are the gloves really free?
Yes — one pair of Exfoliating Shower Gloves comes with every bottle, no code needed. They do a third of the exfoliating work, which is why we'd rather include them than sell them.
How often should I use it?
Daily is fine. If your skin is on the sensitive side, use the gloves two or three times a week and lather by hand the rest — the acids are gentle, but exfoliation compounds.
Will it dry my skin out?
It shouldn't — the niacinamide and glycerin are there to stop that. Seal with the Million Dollar Glow lotion while your skin is still slightly damp and you'll feel the difference.
Can I use it on my face?
It's formulated for the body. For your face, the Glow Essence Soap Bar or the Radiant Power Daily Face Cream are built for the job at the right strength.
