In our 20s, it takes around 14-21 days on average for our cells to renew themselves; this process gradually lengthens to 28-45 days in our 30s, 45-60 days in our 40s, and 90 days in our 50s-60s. However, with a buildup of dead skin cells and excess sebum, skin will look dull with a rough texture, pores will be clogged and enlarged, acne will appear, hyperpigmentation will take longer to fade, and skincare products, no matter how expensive and amazing they are, won’t be able to penetrate properly and work effectively.
Therefore, it is very important to regularly exfoliate in the proper way.
When it comes to exfoliation, physical scrubs, besides removing dead skin cells on the skin surface, also slough away healthy skin cells, and may cause micro-tears and wounds, thereby creating an opening for bacteria. Whilst, acids work by dissolving the bond between only dead skin cells, while leaving healthy skin cells attached.
OUMERE’s No. 9 Exfoliant contains alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxy and poly hydroxy acids to gently exfoliate dead skin cells while promoting skin cell renewal. It also stimulates collagen production, reduces acne and scars, as well as promotes the penetration of other skin care products.
Formulated with natural, highly effective lactic acid, mandelic acid, lactobionic acid, gluconolactone, apple cider vinegar, salicylic acid and willow bark extract, No. 9 gently exfoliates, clears pores and prevents acne to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Other highly effective natural active ingredients are also featured in the formula, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-acne Goldenseal Extract, fine lines and wrinkles reducing Pseudo-alteromonas Ferment Extract, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant Mulberry Extract, which has the highest resveratrol concentration in nature, brightening and rejuvenating Grapeseed extract, whitening and brightening Licorice Root Extract, and soothing and calming organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice.

While your skin may experience a light tingling sensation when first using No. 9, it is completely normal.
One bottle lasts over 6 - 8 months if used every other night.
Apply 5-6 drops to the palm of your hand. Beginning at the forehead, pat gently onto face, neck, and décolleté. Do not rub product into skin as this can cause irritation. There is no need to rinse product off, No. 9 will cease exfoliating after approximately 30 minutes when your skin naturally returns to its normal pH level. Wait at least one minute before applying additional products. The longer No. 9 stays on skin before applying next product, the more exfoliation your skin will experience.
Due to the nature of the product, sediments may occur. This simply means that the plant extracts and their essences have been kept as a whole in the formula, and thus does not affect the quality of the product. Simply shake to disperse the content.
Lactic Acid Gentle exfoliant that dissolves dead skin cells and other impurities without irritation. This natural acid, which is also a humectant, promotes cell renewal, revealing younger, brighter, firmer, and more hydrated skin.
Mandelic Acid An alpha hydroxy acid derived from almonds. Mandelic acid has anti-bacterial properties, and is effective for those with acne-prone skin.
Lactobionic Acid A poly hydroxy acid with anti-oxidant properties, and gentle exfoliating capabilities.
Gluconolactone A polyhodroxy acid that works to improve bumpy skin and even skin tone. As it has a larger molecular structure than AHAs and is naturally a humectact, not only is it suitable for sensitive skin without causing irritations, it can also pull moisture out of the air and absorbs it into the skin to help hydrate and soothe dry skin. Additionally, it functions as an antioxidant and anti-microbial, and help promote improvement in the skin’s firmness/tightness.
Apple Cider Vinegar Am alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates and brightens skin.
Willow Bark Extract A natural source of beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, which has been shown to reduce the appearance of acne.

It also assists in regulating sebum production, making it beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
Licorice Root Extract A natural tyrosinase inhibitor, its glabridin contet plays a vital role in inhibiting tyrosinase activity to provide skin brightening effects, whilst reducing pigmentation induced by UVB rays. It also contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties to soothe redness and inflammations, as well as increasing skin elasticity.
