The Look Alive Exfoliator

A soft, smoothing moment of reset

Formulated for all stages of motherhood

Dermatologist founded and tested

Safe for sensitive skin

As a dermatologist and a mom, I wanted a super gentle powder exfoliant that could make my skin as smooth as my baby's and help me feel like myself again. I created this water-activated powder to lift away dead skin and grime—no scrubbing required. It smooths, softens, and brightens without irritation. Gentle enough for every day. You look like you slept. (Even if you didn't.)

AM or PM after cleansing, give the bottle one squeeze into your hand.
Add a little water to the powder and rub your palms together to create a soft paste.
Make small circles as you massage it onto your face.
Rinse well and pat dry.
Follow with your favorite moisturizer.
Feel like you again.

I Made This for Us

I wanted exfoliation you could actually use every day. So I chose gluconolactone, a gentle PHA that hydrates while it smooths, and enzymes like lipase and protease that only break down what your skin is ready to release. They work, then they stop.

That soft, bright, "did you do something?" skin? That's exfoliation being effective and kind. Finally.

5-Second Answers from Dr. Aegean

You just want someone to tell you what actually works. My job is to look at the actual research and tell you what really matters, without the fear and without the confusion.

This powder exfoliant is activated with water and forms a lovely soft paste that uses gentle enzymes to smooth skin without the harsh abrasion of physical scrubs or the sting often associated with stronger liquid acids. The powder format allows for gentle controlled exfoliation while respecting the skin barrier. Exfoliation, without the drama.

Use this whenever you feel like your skin is looking a little dull and needs a refresh. This exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use, if tolerated. Most people can start using it a few times per week and gradually increase to daily use based on skin comfort and response. As with any exfoliant, individual tolerance can vary. Start where you are—your skin will tell you what it needs.

Yes, which means one less thing to second-guess. This gentle powder exfoliant was thoughtfully formulated for all stages of motherhood, including pregnancy and postpartum. Each formula is reviewed by an independent toxicologist and developed using ingredients with well-established safety profiles at conservative concentrations. For more information, read our full Safety Statement.

Yes, this exfoliant was formulated with sensitive and reactive skin in mind. It has been evaluated through an independently administered Repeat Insult Patch Test (RIPT), including individuals with sensitive skin—a standard dermatologic test used to assess irritation potential over time. While no product can be guaranteed for everyone, this testing supports that the formula is well-tolerated when used as directed, even for sensitive skin.
