French Farmacie Élixir Exfoliant
French Farmacie’s dermatologist-tested Élixir Exfoliant isn’t your average exfoliator. Its innovative oil-based formula is more of a pampering treat, employing plant-powered ingredients rich in AHAs, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to lift away dead skin cells and unlock a brighter, smoother, more even skin tone while you sit back and relax for 10-30 minutes. It’s suitable for all skin types, too – even sensitive, oily, acne-prone and mature – and improves the absorption of forthcoming skincare products once wiped away with the included muslin cloth, which also provides gentle exfoliating action. Apply it 1-3 times a week, always following with French Farmacie’s Sérum Radiant.
- AHAs and enzymes: Exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin beneath.
- Antioxidants: Help to detoxify and even skin tone.
- Vitamins and essential fatty acids: Keeps skin health, moisturised and provides smoothing, anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients free of artificial fragrances or colourants. No animal-derived ingredients or animal testing.
- Apply a full dropper to clean, dry skin
- Leave on for 1030 minutes
- Wipe away with the muslin cloth
- Rinse skin thoroughly and pat dry
Can I use it without the muslin cloth?
We recommend using the complementary muslin cloth to remove your Élixir Exfoliant, as this gives the skin an extra bit of exfoliation. The muslin cloth is also a gentler alternative to a flannel and doesn’t cause damage to the skin. Just make sure to always treat the skin with care; over-scrubbing can cause irritation or disrupt its barrier.
What’s the benefits of an oil-based exfoliant?
Unlike other exfoliators that use physical exfoliators and can sometimes cause irritation and redness, Élixir Exfoliant has an oil base and harnesses plant-based ingredients for a gentler chemical exfoliation. The oil helps to nourish the skin throughout and after your treatment, so you’re never left with dryness.
Is it just for the face?
Élixir Exfoliant is perfect for boosting glow and evening the skin tone, but we have a top tip: try it as a lip treatment to enjoy an extra touch of smoothness!
Is it okay to use on acne-prone skin?
Of course! Élixir Exfoliant is non-comedogenic, so won’t clog the pores, and provides essential exfoliation to remove build-up that can lead to acne, revealing healthier, refreshed skin. The oil-based formula is also nourishing and won’t dry out the skin.

WHAT MAKE IT LUXE
PAIRS WELL WITH
The dermatologist-tested ‘face-oil-meets-serum’ formula of French Farmacie’s Sérum Radiant is the key to nourished, balanced skin that’s glowing with healthy vitality, and it’s all thanks to the brand’s carefully curated use of plant-powered ingredients. Essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals: it’s infused with everything the complexion requires to look and feel its best, caring for every skin type – including sensitive, acne-prone and mature – both immediately and with continued application. Just smooth it over the skin after your French Farmacie Élixir Exfoliant treatment mask to stimulate collagen production and even skin tone.
Intensive Talika research has come together in one dermatologically tested mask – Bio Enzymes Brightening Mask – created to revive your skin, leaving it illuminated and hydrated. The use of Biocellulose means that a higher concentration of vitamin B3, chamomile, yarrow and aloe vera is absorbed into skin – the equivalent of a month’s worth of serum use in a single treatment. This means that you can quickly and effectively give your skin the key nutrients that will keep it looking refreshed.
