‘It’s just the product working its magic,’ How many of us have heard this phrase—led to believe that the subtle burn of a skincare product was a sign of its effectiveness, when in fact, it was our skin crying out for help? Ladies, don’t you think it’s time we put the beauty is pain myth to rest? If it’s smooth and naturally glowy skin you’re after, we may have found the best pain-free solution for you: Myra’s newest exfoliating essence.

When Products Peel Away At Your Confidence

Now, hear us out. Exfoliants may have gained a bad rap in beauty circles lately but they really do work wonders in buffing away dead skin cells, which are often the cause of texture and dullness.

Sometimes, the issue with them stems from user-error—with some going beyond the recommended weekly use, or using concentrations that are too harsh for their skin type.

The second issue lies in the type of acid used. BHAs like Salicylic Acid are among the most popular in the market. And while effective in unclogging pores, they can be too harsh on sensitive skin—causing redness, dryness, and in extreme cases, peeling.

Unlocking Your Power Glow

This is where the new Myra Face Power Glow Gentle Exfoliating Essence comes in. True to its name, this lightweight essence is formulated with gentle acids. It has AHA, which gently buffs away dead skin cells for a more refined skin texture. It also has PHA, which is a great exfoliant for those with sensitive skin, as it unclogs and tightens pores without stripping the skin off moisture.

These effects are further boosted by Niacinamide and 5x Lumina Complex—a blend of plant extracts—for a bright and even complexion. Beauty Vitamins are then added in to reinforce and protect the skin barrier. The results? Glass skin made healthier.

It’s also fool-proof. Simply add it to your existing routine, right after cleansing. No need to rinse or scrub, just pat it dry. Uncomplicated and pain-free—for both your skin and your wallet. It highlights Myra’s commitment to empowering you with every means possible to unlock your power glow.

But don’t just take it from us. It’s time to see the difference for yourself.
