The Gentle Exfoliating Daily Lotion Sensitive is a sophisticated, leave-on treatment engineered for those who require precision resurfacing without the risk of irritation. Classified within the QMS Exfoliant System as a "Mild" intensity formula, this lotion serves as a daily "glow-giver" for tired, sensitive, and reactive skin. With a carefully balanced pH of 4.5, it respects the delicate nature of the skin’s barrier while methodically clearing away dulling debris. Unlike traditional peels that are rinsed away, this lotion remains on the skin to provide a continuous, gentle stimulus that revitalizes the complexion from the inside out.

Healthy skin renewal relies on the efficient shedding of dead corneocytes from the stratum corneum. In sensitive skin, this process is often sluggish, leading to a dull, uneven appearance. This lotion works by utilizing a synergistic blend of AHAs and PHAs to dissolve the desmosomes—the biological "glue"—holding dead cells together. Because this formula uses Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), which have a larger molecular structure, the exfoliation is more controlled and occurs primarily at the surface to prevent the stinging or "trauma" often associated with smaller acids. By accelerating this natural exfoliation, the lotion signals the deeper basal layer to increase keratinocyte proliferation, forcing the skin to produce new, healthy cells at a more youthful rate. Additionally, the inclusion of prebiotics ensures that as the skin resurfaces, its protective acid mantle and microbiome remain balanced and resilient against environmental stressors.
