Gentle Exfoliation & Brightening Serum
Green Envy AHA Serum is a gentle resurfacing treatment—designed to smooth texture, refine tone, and reveal your skin’s natural glow. At its core is a 7.5% AHA Complex, combining Glycolic and Lactic Acids with botanical fruit acids from Australian Finger Lime and Bilberry to gently dissolve dead skin and promote healthy cell turnover.
Unlike harsher exfoliants, Green Envy is balanced with barrier-supportive actives—Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, Niacinamide to strengthen skin tone and function, and Tasmanian Pepper Leaf to calm potential irritation.
The result? Visibly brighter, clearer, and more luminous skin—refreshed, never stripped.
Our 7.5% Signature AHA Blend
- Dual-Depth Exfoliation: A signature AHA blend of Finger Lime, fruit acids, Glycolic, and Lactic Acid works across multiple layers to lift dullness and refine texture.
- Gentle Formulation: Formulated with a precise AHA ratio to exfoliate effectively—without irritation or compromising skin integrity.
- Soothing & Restorative: Niacinamide and Tasmanian Pepper Leaf calm, comfort, and help strengthen the skin during exfoliation.
- Radiance & Pore Refinement: Promotes a clearer, more even complexion while minimising the appearance of pores and enhancing glow.
Aroma: Lime
Suitable for: Our AHA Serum is thoughtfully formulated for mature, dry, oily, combination, normal, dehydrated, and sensitive skin types.
Not Suitable For: Not recommended for compromised or reactive skin types, including those experiencing eczema, dermatitis, or barrier damage—unless accustomed to AHAs.

Smoother, Brighter Complexion
A cellular renewal complex that stimulates the skin's natural renewal process, dissolving tired, dull surface cells and revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath. This promotes a more radiant, even-toned complexion and enhances overall skin brightness. With consistent use, your skin will appear revitalized, smoother, and visibly more youthful, with improved texture and luminosity.
Minimises Pores
AHAs work to clear pores by dissolving dead skin cells and excess sebum, preventing buildup and reducing congestion, which minimizes the chance of breakouts. This gentle exfoliating serum also helps shrink the appearance of enlarged pores, leaving the skin smoother, more refined, and clearer. With consistent use, AHAs contribute to a brighter, healthier complexion and improve overall skin texture and tone.

FAQ
What does an AHA Exfoliating Serum do?
What does an AHA Exfoliating Serum do?
An AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) exfoliant serum, especially one containing glycolic acid and Australian Finger Lime AHAs, is an effective skincare treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and promotes skin renewal. Due to its small molecular size, glycolic acid penetrates deeply into the skin, making it one of the most potent AHAs available. When combined with the natural exfoliating properties of Australian Finger Lime, this serum delivers a powerful blend of skin-smoothing benefits.
Glycolic acid works by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the skin's surface. This process removes the dead cells, revealing a brighter, fresher complexion underneath. It also helps improve uneven skin tone and reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, as the increased cell turnover leads to a more radiant and even skin surface.
The inclusion of Australian Finger Lime, rich in natural AHAs, enhances this exfoliation, offering a gentle yet effective way to rejuvenate the skin. This combination helps improve the skin's texture, making it smoother while stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, this promotes firmer, more youthful skin.
In addition to these benefits, using an AHA exfoliant serum helps other skincare products work more effectively. By removing the layer of dead skin cells, the serum allows serums, moisturizers, and treatments to penetrate deeper, maximizing their absorption and effectiveness.
What is difference between a serum exfoliant versus a traditional face scrub?
What is difference between a serum exfoliant versus a traditional face scrub?
The key difference between a serum exfoliant and a traditional face scrub lies in how they exfoliate the skin. A exfoliating serum, typically containing chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs, works by gently dissolving dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover at a deeper level. In contrast, a traditional face scrub uses physical exfoliants, such as beads or granules, to slough off dead skin cells manually.
A serum exfoliant is preferable for several reasons. First, it's much less abrasive than a face scrub. Scrubs can sometimes cause microtears in the skin, especially if used too aggressively, which can lead to irritation or even damage over time. An exfoliant serum, on the other hand, is applied smoothly and evenly across the skin, offering a gentler and more controlled exfoliation.
Another advantage of serum exfoliants is their ability to provide a more consistent and even exfoliation. Because they work chemically rather than physically, they exfoliate the skin uniformly, leading to a more refined and even texture. This consistent and even exfoliation reassures you that your skin is being treated evenly, making them especially beneficial for improving skin tone and addressing concerns like uneven texture, fine lines, or hyperpigmentation.
Overall, an exfoliant serum is a gentler, more effective choice for those seeking smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin without the abrasiveness of a traditional scrub.
How often should I use exfoliating serums?
How often should I use exfoliating serums?
Every skin is different, depending on your type we recommend use this product 1-3 times per week. For normal and sensitive skin types, 1-2 times per week is ideal, while those with oily or combination skin may benefit from 2-3 times per week.
Rule of thumb: Your frequency should cease whenever you feel a slight tingle. If you feel a slight tingle after the first day than your frequency is once per week.
Please note that a tingling sensation is not an indicator of the serum's efficacy and should not be sought after. Instead, it signifies your skin's sensitivity to the product.
Why do we exfoliate our skin?
Why do we exfoliate our skin?
Did you know that our skin naturally sheds dead cells through a process called 'desquamation'? So, why do we still need to exfoliate manually? Click the link to our blog to discover the essential reasons behind exfoliation and how it benefits your skin beyond what nature already provides.
When should I use this product?
When should I use this product?
You can use an AHA both in the morning and at night, we recommend incorporating your AHA into your evening routine. While you sleep, your skin undergoes a natural renewal process, and using an AHA at night helps enhance this renewal by promoting exfoliation and cell turnover. If you choose to use an AHA in the morning, it’s important to note that it can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. In this case, always follow up with SPF to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent any irritation or hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure.

Awesome product. My skin feels and looks amazing. Highly recommend
This product is amazing. Ive been using it as directed, already I see a huge difference in my skin.
As important as my morning coffee, I can’t live without starting my day with Lei’s Green Envy. I love it as much as his other products.
I’ve been using Green Envy a couple of nights a week and it’s been great for smoothing my skin. It’s gentle but still effective — my skin looks a bit brighter and feels smoother the next day.
This has been perfect for my day 3 after Tret night! Only problem is to work out where to fit in into my routine once the peptide serum arrives!
I'm generally reluctant to use any AHA products due to skin sensitivity, however true to form, this product does what it says. Its really cleaned my skin due to the subtle exfoliation. It's very affordable too!
Having sensitive skin i was skeptical about trying. This hasn't caused any irritation and my skin tone is more even and glowing than it's been in a very long time.
I love love love this serum. As someone with mature, reactive skin that is also rosacea prone, this gentle exfoliating & brightening serum is a miracle. My skin looks so much brighter & is definitely smoother. Most importantly I have experienced absolutely no irritation at all. Leitin has got this formulation perfect but then again all of his products that I have tried are perfect. Definitely recommend & it will be a repurchase.
I use this once a week as part of my routine and I can see the improvement in my skin texture after a few uses! I recommend putting this into your routine - love the scent too!
Love all products
Love all the products
I have the confidence to show it off in a photo but I’m loving the feel of Green envy, I have added it to my night time routine. It has a lovely refreshing smell.
This is the perfect AHA for my mature combo skin.
Really enjoying this product, I love the zesty scent, I apply my Leitins Vit C then after it dries down I apply this serum, no irritation at all, my skin looks brighter, def a repurchase for me.
This product delivers exactly what it promises. A mild exfoliant used before nourishing toner. My skin looks noticeably smoother however I am using 4 products from Leitin and I’m not sure which ones are responsible for fresher looking skin. The routine is simple, the products super effective and affordable.
This is the most gentle AHA I have ever tried. My skin loves it, it has been perfectly balanced to do its job whilst hydrating to maintain skin barrier. Nailed it!
"I love using this product! It's easy to apply, feels light on the skin but still super hydrating. I always wake up with glowing, refreshed skin."
