Foamer 5 is a gentle exfoliating foam with 5% glycolic acid, ideal for dull, uneven-textured complexions and as a first step into exfoliating acids. Use up to once a day, in the evening.

1. Cleanse, then dry your face completely. The foam works best on dry skin, as water dilutes the acid.
2. Apply a small amount to the face, avoiding the eye contour area and lips.
3. Massage gently.
4. Rinse with water after 2 minutes, or as soon as you start to feel a tingling sensation.
5. Follow with your serum and moisturiser as usual.

Tips:
- New to acids? Start with 2 evenings a week and build up towards daily use as your skin tolerates it.
- A brief tingle is normal. If you feel stinging or see redness, rinse straight away and reduce frequency.
- Avoid using on the same night as retinol (Activ Retinol 0.5 or 1.0) or other exfoliating products.
- Exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every morning while using this product.
- Patch test before first use, especially on sensitive skin.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP before using exfoliating acid products.
- Once your skin is comfortable with Foamer 5, you can consider stepping up to Foamer 15 for a more intense exfoliation.
Key ingredients:
- Glycolic Acid 5%: an alpha hydroxy acid that gently lifts away dead surface cells, helping skin look smoother, brighter and more even
- Enoxolone (Glycyrrhetinic Acid): a soothing, calming agent from liquorice that helps offset the tingle of the acid
- Glycerin: a humectant that keeps skin hydrated and comfortable while you exfoliate

Full ingredients (INCI):
Water (Aqua), Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Methylpropanediol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Potassium Sorbate.
Yes, it is the gentler of the two Foamers and is designed to be tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. Start with once or twice a week, patch test first, and always rinse at the first sign of tingling.
Choose Foamer 5 if you are new to glycolic acid, have sensitive skin, or want a gentle maintenance exfoliant. Choose Foamer 15 if your skin is resilient, normal to oily, and already used to acids.
In the evening, after cleansing and drying your skin, before serums and moisturiser. On Foamer nights, skip other strong actives like retinol and let this be the workhorse.
Skin often looks fresher within the first couple of weeks. Brand studies measured a more radiant complexion and smoother texture over 28 days of regular use.
