Product Reviews by Experts


Saya has done it again! The jojoba beads are so finely milled you can barely feel them on the skin, but when combined with the AHAs they create the most powerful yet gentle exfoliant that has my skin feeling super soft and smooth. My skin wasn’t at all irritated or overwhelmed and the blend of beautiful Australian botanicals soothed as the enzymes went to work. I adore this addition to my skincare routine and have been using it on the body too. I love that Saya has stayed true to their vegan and cruelty free values from the very start. They are proof that skincare can be kind and effective without harming animals at any point in the production process. I will forever admire them for this commitment and will continue to champion this beautiful Australian brand.


Silky smooth skin with no down time- the AHAs in this exfoliate gently polish the skin surface revealing a smoother skin finish, perfect for makeup application or if you just love a deep clean. I love that this is mess-free with satisfying jojoba beads that moisturise the skin as they dissolve into skin. Top drawer. Love the focus on clean, accessible skincare; the packaging is aesthetic as well as recyclable, extending the product’s longevity. I feel safe in the knowledge that the whole range is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, not tested on animals and uses no animal-derived ingredients. The formulas are free from parabens, sulphates & synthetics.


I love how creamy the texture of this cleanser is! It feels beautiful on the skin. The exfoliating ingredients are also not abrasive to the skin and leave my skin soft and supple. I also appreciate that it does not dry or strip the skin and leaves a nourished feeling. The high quality of botanical ingredients in the formulation such as Kakadu Plum, Illawarra Plum, and Burdekin Plum is very impressive!
