The combination of aluminium oxide micro-crystals (identical to those used by dermatologists) and a formula rich in Shea Butter make the Thalgo Eveil A La Mer Resurfacing Cream a highly effective exfoliator that does not dry out the skin. From the very first application, the texture of your skin is superbly enhanced: it feels smoother, softer and more supple. Your complexion appears more luminous.
