The three exfoliators in this range are built on two principles that most natural brands don't deliver simultaneously: genuine efficacy and a clean, traceable ingredient chain. The Resurfacing Face Peel works through real enzymatic and fruit acid action — not a token drop of fruit extract in a water base, but active concentrations of cajá, mango, and banana pulp alongside biodynamic mullein and organic helichrysum. The Miror Exfoliating Cleanser uses biodynamic lavender flower powder grown at Oway's own farm in Bologna, the Ortofficina, where biodynamic cultivation produces botanicals with measurably higher phytoactive concentrations than conventionally sourced equivalents. The Glowing Face Gommage pairs mineral purifying clay with Amazonian pataua oil, Andean chia, and alpine willowherb — a formula that refines and nourishes in the same step rather than stripping first and repairing after. All products are manufactured with renewable energy, packaged in aluminium, and free from synthetic preservatives of concern. Vegan and cruelty-free.

The range covers the three main methods of surface renewal without relying on synthetic abrasives, harsh acids, or aggressive peeling agents. The Resurfacing Face Peel is an enzymatic and light acid treatment: tropical fruit enzymes dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells without physical contact, while natural fruit-derived acids refine surface texture. It is the most active of the three. The Glowing Face Gommage is a clay-based physical treatment: purifying mineral clay absorbs excess oil and gently polishes as it is removed, with the added function of an active alpine botanical that addresses sebum regulation beyond the exfoliation moment. The Miror Exfoliating Cleanser is a gentle physical cleanser: biodynamic lavender flower powder provides mild mechanical exfoliation as part of a wash-off routine, making it the most everyday-compatible and the mildest of the three. Understanding the difference matters because layering types carelessly — using the peel and the gommage in the same session, for example — can over-process the skin surface.

Fruit enzymes are naturally occurring proteolytic compounds — found abundantly in tropical fruits — that break down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface. Where a physical exfoliant uses friction and a clay mask uses absorption, enzymes work purely through biochemistry: they digest the "glue" between dead cells and living ones, allowing the outer layer to shed without any mechanical pressure on the skin. In the Resurfacing Face Peel, three fruit sources contribute their enzymatic activity: cajá (a Amazonian tropical plum), mango pulp, and banana pulp. These are complemented by natural fruit-derived acids — citric acid from fruit sources — which gently loosen surface texture and support cell turnover at a level appropriate for a leave-on treatment rather than an intensive salon peel. Biodynamic mullein soothes and brightens alongside the enzymatic action; organic helichrysum and upcycled pear protect against the oxidative stress that can follow any resurfacing step.

Mullein (Verbascum densiflorum) is a tall flowering plant whose extracts have long been used in herbal traditions for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-illuminating properties. The mullein used in the Resurfacing Face Peel is grown biodynamically on Oway's Ortofficina farm, which means it is cultivated without synthetic inputs, harvested in alignment with biodynamic principles, and processed to preserve the full phytoactive spectrum of the plant. In the context of an exfoliating formula, it serves a dual function: it helps even skin tone and support luminosity as the surface renews, and it counteracts the potential for redness or sensitivity that can accompany enzymatic activity. Pairing a brightening botanical with an active exfoliant in a single formula is intentional — it means the skin's immediate post-exfoliation state is addressed by the formula itself rather than requiring a separate recovery step.

Kaolin, a fine white mineral clay, performs two functions simultaneously in the Gommage. The first is sebum absorption: kaolin draws excess oil from the pore lining and the surface, creating a matte, balanced finish and reducing congestion that would otherwise build to blocked pores over time. The second is gentle physical polish: as the mask is massaged off with water, the clay micro-particles provide mild mechanical exfoliation, smoothing the surface without the jagged edges of coarser mineral abrasives. What distinguishes this formula from a simple clay mask is the botanical intelligence built around it. Alpine willowherb (Epilobium fleischeri) — an alpine plant with a long tradition in European herbal medicine — works at the sebaceous level to regulate oil production over time, not just in the moment of application. Amazonian pataua oil and Andean chia replenish the lipid barrier as the clay works, so the result is not the tight, stripped finish typical of clay masks but a balanced, nourished surface.

Lavender flower powder is exactly what the name says: dried lavender flowers, micronised to a fine powder. In the Miror Exfoliating Cleanser, the powder used is grown biodynamically at Oway's Ortofficina farm, which means it carries the same elevated phytoactive profile as the biodynamic botanicals in the rest of the skincare range. As a physical exfoliant, it has three qualities that make it well-suited to a daily-use cleanser. Its particles are fine and botanically rounded rather than sharp or irregular, which means they smooth the surface without creating micro-abrasions. The lavender itself has well-documented calming and skin-conditioning properties, so the exfoliant is also an active — it refines and soothes in the same action. And unlike synthetic microbeads (environmentally banned) or walnut shell powder (known for jagged edges), lavender powder is biodegradable, traceable, and grown under conditions the brand controls directly. The formula's gel-to-milk transformation when water is added distributes the powder evenly across the skin, making the exfoliation more consistent than manual scrubbing with a gritty texture.

Skin type, frequency tolerance, and primary goal all point toward different products. The Resurfacing Face Peel suits normal, combination, and dull skin dealing with uneven tone, texture roughness, or post-blemish pigmentation — enzymatic exfoliation is particularly effective at brightening and refining without requiring physical pressure. It is a targeted treatment used once or twice a week. The Glowing Face Gommage suits oily, combination, and congested skin that accumulates sebum and develops visible pores or surface buildup — the clay component addresses oil balance alongside exfoliation, and the alpine willowherb works preventatively between sessions. The Miror Exfoliating Cleanser suits any skin type that wants gentle, regular refinement built into the cleansing step itself rather than as a separate treatment; it works as the mildest option for dry or sensitive skin that still needs some exfoliation. For sensitive or reactive skin, proceed with caution on all three and test the Miror first before introducing the Gommage or Peel.

Not simultaneously, but they can coexist in a well-structured weekly routine without conflict. The key principle is not to compound exfoliation in the same session: using the Resurfacing Face Peel and the Glowing Face Gommage on the same evening, or using the Miror on a day when the Peel is scheduled, accelerates surface cell removal beyond what most skin can recover from without irritation, dryness, or barrier disruption. A sensible division would be: use the Miror as an occasional swap into the cleansing step two to three evenings a week; schedule the Glowing Face Gommage on one of the remaining evenings; and use the Resurfacing Face Peel on a separate evening, at most once a week. On any night an active exfoliator is used, follow with the De-Stress Tonic Potion and a moisturizer, and apply SPF diligently the following morning, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV exposure.

The two products exfoliate through entirely different mechanisms and address different skin concerns. The Resurfacing Face Peel works chemically and enzymatically: it dissolves dead cells and loosens surface texture through the action of tropical fruit enzymes and fruit-derived acids, with no physical scrubbing required. This makes it particularly effective for tone correction — uneven pigmentation, post-blemish marks, dullness — because enzymatic exfoliation reaches uniformly across the surface regardless of pressure applied. The Glowing Face Gommage works physically and physiologically: kaolin clay physically buffs the surface as it is removed, while alpine willowherb addresses sebum production at the source. Its oil-absorbing function makes it the more relevant choice for skin that struggles with shine, blocked pores, or excess oil — concerns that fruit enzymes address less directly. A simple decision: reach for the Peel when the concern is tone and radiance; reach for the Gommage when the concern is congestion and oil balance.

Active-sensitivity skin should avoid the Peel entirely while a flare is present. This includes rosacea-prone skin in a reactive phase, post-procedure skin (laser, chemical peel, microneedling), or skin experiencing active eczema or dermatitis. Enzymatic exfoliation is gentler than aggressive acid peels, but it still accelerates cell removal, which can worsen inflammation and barrier disruption on compromised skin. Those who use concentrated vitamin C serums, retinol, or other active treatments should not use the Peel on the same evening — the combination of multiple actives on freshly exfoliated skin can overwhelm the barrier and cause unwanted sensitivity. Pregnant individuals should consult with a healthcare provider before using any exfoliating treatment. For sensitive skin that is generally stable rather than currently reactive, starting with one use per week and monitoring the response over two to three weeks is the cautious path.

It is both. The Gommage is applied as a mask — left on for a few minutes while the clay draws out impurities and excess oil — and then removed as an exfoliator, massaging it off with water so that the clay particles polish as they rinse away. This dual action is what distinguishes a gommage (from the French word for erasing or polishing) from a standard clay mask, which is typically applied and rinsed without the massage step, and from a scrub, which has no leave-on purifying phase. In practice, it means a single product does the work of both a pore-purifying treatment and a surface refinement step. The formula also delivers nourishing botanicals — passionflower oil, pataua, chia, shea — during the leave-on phase, so the skin receives conditioning as the clay purifies. The combined effect is refined, balanced skin rather than the dry, tight aftermath common to clay-only masks.

It is not designed as a daily cleanser and should not be used every day as a full replacement. The biodynamic lavender powder exfoliates the surface with each use, and cumulative daily exfoliation — even of a gentle kind — will over-thin the stratum corneum over time, compromising barrier function and increasing sensitivity. It is best thought of as a treatment cleanser that replaces the everyday cleanser two to three evenings a week, with a non-exfoliating cleanser used on the remaining days. That said, compared to other physical exfoliants it is among the mildest available: the lavender powder's fine, botanical particles are far less abrasive than coarser mineral or seed-based scrubs, and the oil-rich base of corn germ oil and sweet almond oil cushions the skin during the exfoliation step and conditions as it cleanses. For those who want some exfoliation built into the cleansing routine without a separate treatment step, the Miror is the right tool — used with appropriate frequency.

Exfoliating treatments always follow cleansing and always precede serums and moisturizers. The sequence is: cleanser → exfoliator (if using that evening) → De-Stress Tonic Potion → serum → moisturizer. The Resurfacing Face Peel and the Glowing Face Gommage are both applied to clean skin after the cleanser step, left for their respective contact times, and rinsed before the rest of the routine continues. The Miror replaces the second cleanse in a double-cleanse protocol, or stands in as the sole cleanser on exfoliation evenings — it does not require a separate rinse step after toning. On exfoliation nights, the De-Stress Tonic Potion is particularly valuable as a transitional step: it rebalances the surface and prepares freshly renewed skin to absorb the serum and moisturizer that follow. SPF the next morning is not optional after any exfoliation — it is the essential companion step that protects the more exposed skin the treatment has revealed.
