This'll treat the area to some much-needed TLC, with a nourishing and exfoliating blend of aloe, jojoba oil, and salicylic acid that can help the skin look smoother and firmer with consistent use — typically within a couple of weeks, but some users saw a difference in a matter of days!
An ink remover for that ink- or permanent marker-stained item you thought was a lost cause.

You can use this for all sorts of stubborn stains besides just ink, like blood, wine, grass, coffee, and grease stains.

A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo because chances are, your sponges and brushes are overdue for a good cleaning. Made with gentle, plant-based ingredients, this cleanser will remove all the built-up makeup, oil, and impurities from your tools — and watching all the gunk be washed down the sink is *so* satisfying.

Together, they'll bring a noticeable difference to your skin, including a brighter tone, reduction of fine lines, and a smoother, plumper feel.
The Pink Stuff's new sponge set, which includes their widely raved about (and probably legit magical) pink cleaning paste and throws in a workhouse of a sponge with it.

Just empty it out after, and you're good to go again!
