Soft Reset Key Ingredients

This exfoliating solution has a cocktail of ingredients designed to get skin glowing quickly! It has a concentration of 16% AHAs.

  • LACTIC ACID – plant-derived alpha hydroxy acid that helps smooth the look of fine lines, reduces visible signs of ageing and works to hydrate the skin
  • NIACINAMIDE – water-soluble form of vitamin B3 helps clarify and refine skin’s texture, minimise the look of pores and deliver a smoother, more even-toned appearance
  • GLYCOLIC ACID  powerful AHA that works to retexturise, efoliate and brighten the skin to help visibly diminish fine lines and discoloration while keeping pores clear

How to Use It?

After cleansing, (Summer Fridays suggest using their Super Amino Gel Cleanser – review here), apply Soft Reset using a cotton pad. Simply wipe it over the skin, avoiding the eye area, allow it to absorb and then follow with your other skincare. It is designed for nightly use, but if you have senstive skin, or already use other actives in your regime, you may want to go slowly.

My Review

I have been getting on really well with Soft Reset. A little word of caution: the first time I used it, I applied quite a generous amount and let it sink in for about 10 minutes before I went on to my serums etc. I think this was a little too long direct acid exposure for my first use, as it is a pretty potent blend.

It caused some redness around my nose and mouth which was ever so slightly uncomfortable. The redness was completely gone by the morning, so I wasn’t at all concerned, but I wanted to flag it just in case you have sensitive skin. The times I have used it since, I have used less product, and left it only a minute before continuing with my skincare.

When I use it like this, I have no redness. I just wake up with soft, smooth and plumped up skin. It’s lovely. If you like something fairly strong, you will love this because it certainly packs a punch. I think a couple of times a week will do the trick. Especially if you don’t think you can tolerate nightly use at first.
