Your quest for clearer skin ends here. Inspired by the natural beauty of Canadian landscapes, Apokathario harnesses nature's best sources of Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids. AHAs help break down the bonds of surface dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off and reduce hyperpigmentation. Meanwhile, BHAs are oil-soluble and penetrate deeper, effectively clearing out bacteria and dead skin cells that can accumulate in pores. The result is fewer breakouts, a brighter complexion, and smooth, clear skin.

This gentle gel overnight exfoliant is safe for sensitive skin, providing a soothing experience without stinging or tingling. It also delivers antioxidants, calming ingredients, and moisturization for optimal skin health.

Apokathario is formulated specifically for sensitive skin. It contains no added fragrance, includes hydrating ingredients, and uses gentle exfoliating agents safe for all skin types. However, it's important to take a cautious approach to exfoliation. If your skin feels damaged, unusually dry, or broken, it may not be the right time to introduce an exfoliating product. The best practice is to start slowly—consider patch testing or using it just once a week—and always listen to your skin.

AHAs and BHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so we recommend using Apokathario at night and following up with sunscreen during the day.

We worked hard to create an exfoliating gel serum that absorbs well into the skin without feeling sticky. However, everyone's skin is different, and factors like weather and humidity can affect how your skin feels. To minimize any stickiness, apply a small amount evenly to your face, allowing time for it to absorb before following up with your night cream.

Apokathario is a chemical exfoliant and does not contain any physical scrubbing ingredients. Instead, it utilizes natural fruit extracts and sugar maple to break down the bonds of dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off gently. This process occurs on a molecular level, so you won’t see or feel any visible peeling—you'll simply wake up with smoother, softer skin.

Apokathario can be used 1-3 nights a week. If you're new to chemical exfoliants, it’s best to start slowly with a patch test and then begin with one night a week. Avoid the eye area. It's easy to overdo exfoliation, so it's important to listen to your skin. If you notice any signs of moisture barrier damage, unusual dryness, or broken skin, take a break and reintroduce the product when your skin feels back to normal.
