Textured skin, congestion, dullness — these common skin concerns are often signs that your skin needs a proper reset. Exfoliation is essential to maintaining skin clarity and radiance, but not all exfoliants are created equal.
Luminous 8% Glycolic Scrub is designed to gently slough away dead skin buildup while supporting smoother, more radiant skin. It pairs 8% Glycolic Acid with natural pumice granules to refine skin texture and promote cell turnover, all while keeping your skin calm and hydrated.
Ingredient Breakdown
Each ingredient has been selected to support skin resurfacing, clarity, and comfort—making it ideal for regular use without compromising your skin barrier.
Purified Water
The foundation of the formula, acting as a solvent to dissolve active ingredients and create a lightweight, rinseable texture.
Glycolic Acid (8%)
A powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating natural exfoliation. This promotes a brighter, smoother complexion and supports improved skin tone over time.
Pumice Granules
Finely ground volcanic rock that provides gentle, physical exfoliation. It buffs away surface buildup and rough patches, enhancing the effectiveness of glycolic acid and leaving skin instantly smoother.
Sodium Hydroxide
Used to balance pH and ensure that the glycolic acid functions effectively without being overly harsh. Helps keep the formulation safe and skin-compatible.
Polysorbate 60
An emulsifier that ensures even distribution of oil- and water-based components for consistent application and rinse-off.
Methylchloroisothiazolinone & Methylisothiazolinone
Effective preservatives used in small amounts to keep the product fresh and free from microbial contamination.
Cetearyl Alcohol
A fatty alcohol that acts as a mild emollient and stabiliser—contributing to a smooth, creamy texture without drying out the skin.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Soothes and hydrates the skin while buffering the intensity of exfoliation. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making the scrub more suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Cyclopentasiloxane
A lightweight silicone that enhances spreadability and provides a silky after-feel. It helps prevent moisture loss without clogging pores.
Disodium EDTA
A chelating agent that stabilises the formula by binding to metal ions, improving shelf life and efficacy.
Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E)
A stable form of Vitamin E that acts as an antioxidant, helping protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
Sorbitol
A plant-derived humectant that attracts moisture to the skin’s surface, keeping skin soft and hydrated post-exfoliation.
Why Formulate a Dual-Action Scrub?
Luminous combines two exfoliation methods:
-
Glycolic Acid promotes natural cell turnover and smooths skin from within.
-
Pumice Granules provide surface-level exfoliation for immediate softness and clarity.
This dual-action approach delivers both instant results and long-term improvements in texture, tone, and radiance. It's ideal for those who want a deep refresh without relying on harsh or stripping exfoliants.
Best Practices for Use

Apply to clean, damp skin.
