Wash your hands after application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA note from me\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often expect to feel something from an exfoliant, and if it doesn't tingle, they think it's not working. This one works just as well because it is gentle: you can maintain it daily without your skin protesting. What I see in those who have been using it for a few weeks is skin that catches the light again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd because your skin becomes more sensitive to the sun: sunscreen, every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure if your skin can handle this daily? Feel free to send me a message.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obagi Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58848225689935,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0014\/5999\/files\/OBAGI_Nu-Derm_Exfoderm_Tottle_PDP_1260x1260-1260x1260.jpg?v=1790070113"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.beautyplanshop.be\/en\/collections\/maskers-exfolianten.oembed","provider":"Beauty Plan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
