αλέξανδρος
Your Skin:
Acne, blackheads, dry or oily skin, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, wrinkles and loss of firmness.
Our Remedy:
This alpha hydroxy exfoliator contains 10% glycolic acid (derived from sugar cane) to gently exfoliate and resurface the skin and reveal a soft, clear, smooth and bright face. The glycolic acid is suspended in soothing Greek organic rosewater to hydrate your skin while it exfoliates. Retinol (Vitamin A) is added to reduce the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores and assists in reducing acne.
Glycolic Acid is an effective exfoliating agent which can remove the upper layer of dead skin cells resulting in improved skin texture. Regular use can reveal a brighter, glowing complexion as well as improvement in skin tone and colour. Aside from the visible surface difference it can make, Glycolic Acid has also been shown to improve cell turnover in the deeper layers (epidermis) of the skin. It can help boost collagen, the main protein which gives skin its support and structure, whilst simultaneously improving the quality of the elastic fibres in the skin.
Alexander combines Glycolic and Retinol with Liquorice root extract to reduce redness, prevent discolouration and soften skin.
Regular and consistent use of this product will help to protect the skin, improve its overall appearance, as well as reducing the signs of premature skin ageing and restore your glow.

αλέξανδρος — Ancient Greece + Mythology
This gentle yet highly effective exfoliator is named after Alexander the Great as it contains liquorice root extract. The soldiers of Alexander the Great were ordered to chew its roots to keep themselves healthy and hydrated. Liquorice has a long history that dates back thousands of years. Evidence of the plant has been found in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Roman, and Hindu civilizations, and many prominent historical figures are said to have utilized liquorice for its medicinal properties including Alexander the Great.
