Clinically-proven to smooth, refine, and brighten skin with a unique blend of five alpha hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acid, this gentle liquid exfoliant boosts the efficacy of serums, moisturisers, and other treatments.
What It Does
A gentle pro-strength exfoliating treatment, Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant smooths, tones, and brightens skin with a powerhouse mix of five alpha hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acid at a 10% concentration. A best-seller for good reason, it’s clinically proven to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, clear, and increase skin’s brightness after just one week of use. And, with toning benefits too, it also boosts the efficacy of your serums and moisturisers, for radiant, perfectly primed complexions.
Key Actives
- The 10% five-acid complex. Mandelic, lactic, malic, tartaric and gluconic acids in one blend, working on dullness, texture, fine lines and the look of pores.
- Alpha hydroxy acids. Mandelic, lactic, malic and tartaric acids. They exfoliate at the surface, which is what lifts brightness and smooths texture.
- Gluconic acid. A polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Its larger molecule exfoliates more gently and hydrates at the same time.
- Niacinamide. A form of vitamin B3 that supports the moisture barrier, helps balance oil and softens the look of fine lines.
- Fruit and botanical extracts. Sugar cane, lemon, orange, apple and green tea extracts, adding antioxidant support alongside the acids.
Who It Suits
Formulated for universal use for all skin types and tones.
Key Benefits
- Brightening: Radiance-renewing exfoliant including mandelic, lactic, gluconic, and tartaric acids, visibly improves skin clarity.
- Smoothing: Gentle exfoliation via alpha hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acid helps minimise the appearance of fine lines and pores.
- Toning: Formulated to boost effectiveness of treatments, serums, and moisturisers, post cleanse.
How to Use
- Cleanse thoroughly and allow the skin to dry fully.
- Saturate a cotton pad and sweep across the face, avoiding the eye area.
- Use two to three times a week, morning or evening.
- Used in the morning it brightens and reduces the look of pores. Used at night it exfoliates and helps the rest of your evening routine absorb.
Blending five acids is not marketing. Each has a different molecule size, so they work at different depths and you get a broader result at a lower irritation cost than one acid at the same strength. Gluconic acid is the poly hydroxy in there and it holds water, which is why this stings less than a straight glycolic.

Key actives
| Active | What it does | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Mandelic and lactic acidsMandelic Acid, Lactic Acid | The two largest alpha hydroxy acids here, working nearer the surface and more slowly. | The large molecules are why this suits skin that reacts badly to glycolic. |
| Gluconic acidGluconic Acid | A poly hydroxy acid, larger again, which also holds water in the skin. | It is the reason a 10% acid blend feels comfortable rather than stripping. |
| Malic and tartaric acids with niacinamideMalic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Niacinamide | Two fruit acids that round out the blend, with niacinamide to support tone. | Niacinamide alongside acids is what keeps the skin looking calm rather than flushed. |

05 · Questions
Common questions
Molecule size decides how far an acid travels. Five different sizes work at five different depths, so you get a broader result than a single acid at the same total strength, and usually less irritation with it. The poly hydroxy acid in the blend also holds water, which offsets the drying.
Start twice a week in the evening and build up from there. Nightly is possible for resilient skin and unnecessary for most. If your skin feels tight, looks shiny-red, or stings when you apply moisturiser, you have gone too far.
No, it stays on. Apply it after cleansing and let it dry before your serum. Because it stays on the skin, sunscreen the next morning is not optional.
Not on the same night while you are settling in. Alternate them. Once your skin has been comfortable on both for a couple of months, some people combine them, but there is rarely a good reason to.
