Have a word with your skin to look its best, glow brighter, and feel more confident! 

A quick yet potent pick-me-up for your complexion, this non-drying formulation polishes and refines your skin in an instant. A sophisticated blend of Beta and Alpha Hydroxy Acids—including Glycolic, Azelaic, and Salicylic acids—works in synergy to exfoliate the skin's surface and brighten your look. This powerful combination effectively clears pores and refines the appearance of skin texture for a smoother, more polished finish. Our formula is packed with high-performance antioxidants, including 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Glutathione, Retinol, and Vitamin E. Together, they shield your skin against environmental stressors and free radicals, while supporting the appearance of skin renewal and elasticity for a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion. 

Natural extracts like Aloe Vera, Green Tea, and Grape Seed provide immediate soothing comfort, while advanced peptides—Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8—boost Pep Talk’s age-defying benefits by visibly minimising the appearance of fine lines and expression wrinkles. To complete the transformation, brightening agents like Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid target the look of uneven skin tone and dark spots, revealing a radiant and balanced glow. 

Benefits

Instant Radiance: Visibly transforms dull, tired skin into a glowing, "glass-like" complexion in minutes.

Surface Refinement: Gently dissolves the bonds of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more polished texture.

Pore Decongestion: Effectively targets surface impurities and clears the look of congested pores.

Tone Correction: Diminishes the appearance of uneven skin tone and surface discolouration.

  • Advanced Age-Defying: Softens the look of fine lines and promotes a firmer, more revitalised appearance.
Pro tip

The "Party Prep" Secret: Use Pep Talk 24 hours before a big event. By removing the layer of dull, dead cells on the surface, your makeup will sit smoother, and your skin will reflect light for that "filtered" look in photos.

How to use

When: Use 1–3 times a week, ideally in the evening.

How: Apply an even layer to a clean, dry face and neck.

Duration: Leave on for 3–5 minutes, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.

Removal: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

The Routine: Always follow with 5-a-Day to replenish moisture and Front Cover SPF the next morning.

Safety Precautions:

  • Sun Safety: This product contains AHAs that increase sun sensitivity. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily while using this product and for one week after.
  • The "Tingle": A slight tingling sensation and temporary redness are normal. If intense burning or swelling occurs, rinse off immediately.

Science

Pep Talk is a high-performance "Flash Peel" designed to accelerate the look of skin renewal. Utilizing a dual-action blend of Lactic and Salicylic acids, it provides targeted exfoliation to clear pores and refine the skin's surface.

This is enhanced by an Encapsulated Retinol Complex, which supports the appearance of skin elasticity without the typical irritation of traditional retinoids. To ensure a luminous finish, Glutathione and Vitamin C provide potent antioxidant protection, while Niacinamide works to visibly smooth the skin's texture and maintain a healthy-looking moisture barrier.

Key ingredients

Lactic Acid (AHA): A gentle yet effective resurfacer that hydrates while it exfoliates for a smoother, brighter complexion.

Salicylic Acid (BHA): An oil-soluble acid that clears pores of surface impurities and targets visible congestion.

Encapsulated Retinol: A stabilised form of Vitamin A that promotes visible surface-cell renewal and age-defying results.

Glutathione & Vitamin C: A powerhouse antioxidant duo that defends the skin's surface and enhances radiance.

Niacinamide: Visibly refines the appearance of pores and smooths the look of fine lines.
