Key features & specs

How it compares

In the realm of exfoliants, Herbivore Botanicals competes with high-strength synthetic chemical peels. Unlike traditional 10% glycolic treatments that can cause significant redness, Prism uses fruit-derived acids which tend to be more biocompatible. It provides a middle ground between daily gentle toners and harsh weekly peels, making it a versatile addition to a 2026 skincare routine.

How to use it

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat skin completely dry.
2. Apply 4-8 drops of the serum to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
3. Massage gently until the product is absorbed into the skin.
4. Follow immediately with a facial oil or moisturizer to lock in hydration.
5. Always apply SPF the following morning, as AHAs increase sun sensitivity.
