Tronque Exfoliating Refining Serum

The exfoliating serum you'd reach for on your face, reformulated for the body.

A lightweight, milky formula delivers a face-worthy blend of seven natural AHAs and a BHA at 7.5%, gently resurfacing and refining skin from the neck down without scrubbing, stripping, or irritation.

A chemical exfoliation for the face, yet the body, where rough texture, bumps, and congestion live is too often left to a harsh physical scrub.

Glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, and citric acids sweep away dull, dead surface cells, while salicylic acid works into the pore to clear congestion, ingrown hairs, and the bumps of keratosis pilaris. Bakuchiol — a gentle, plant-derived alternative to retinol — supports visible cell renewal, and niacinamide (Vitamin B3) calms, strengthens, and evens the look of tone. Pineapple enzymes, hyaluronic acid, and olive squalane round out the formula so skin is left smoother, more radiant, and comfortably hydrated — never tight.

The result is the kind of soft, polished, even-looking skin you usually only expect from the neck up.

Founded by Tanné Snowden after her own experience with endometriosis, every Tronque formula is built to work in harmony with the body, not against it.

Key Ingredients
7.5% Blend of 7 AHAs + BHA - A face-grade exfoliating complex of glycolic, two forms of lactic, malic, tartaric, and citric acids (AHAs) plus salicylic acid (BHA). Together they dissolve dull surface cells and clear inside the pore to visibly refine texture, tone, and clarity — without a physical scrub.

Bakuchiol (Plant-Derived Vitamin A) - A gentle, naturally derived retinol alternative that supports visible cell turnover for smoother, more refined-looking skin, without the irritation associated with traditional retinoids.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - Calms, strengthens the look of the skin barrier, and helps even the appearance of tone and texture.

Pineapple Enzymes - A natural enzymatic exfoliant that gently digests dead surface cells for added smoothness and radiance.

Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) & Olive Squalane - Replenish moisture and seal in hydration, so skin feels supple and comfortable — never stripped or tight after exfoliation.

New Zealand Botanicals (Bilberry, Finger Lime, Sugar Maple & Sugar Cane Extracts) - A nutrient-dense blend of naturally derived fruit acids and antioxidants that supports the formula's gentle resurfacing and luminous finish.

Use one of three ways: as a targeted treatment on areas of concern, as a primer serum before your moisturizer, or mixed directly into your favorite moisturizer. Massage a thin layer gently into clean, dry skin.

This is a highly active formula. Start slowly, two to three times per week, and build as your skin adjusts. A light tingle is normal. Do not apply to open, freshly shaven, or freshly scrubbed skin. Because the acids increase sun sensitivity, always follow with sunscreen for daytime use, and layer with Tronque Firming Butter or Vitamin C Body Oil to lock in hydration.
