Smooth Texture With Gentle AHA Resurfacing
The Bio-Compatible Answer: Abrasive physical scrubs create micro-tears and damage the lipid barrier. The bio-compatible alternative uses a gentle AHA trio (Glycolic, Lactic, Malic) buffered with heavy humectants to softly dissolve dead surface cells, revealing smoother texture without inflammation or downtime.
The Problem: The Damage of Aggressive Exfoliation
Textured, rough, or dull skin is a sign that dead skin cells are not shedding properly. However, the beauty industry's solution is often highly destructive.
Traditional exfoliation relies on jagged physical scrubs (like walnut shells) or aggressive, unbuffered chemical peels (like 20% AHA solutions). These legacy methods rip through the acid mantle, leaving the skin raw, stinging, and chronically red. Over-exfoliation is one of the leading causes of premature aging and compromised barriers.
The Solution: Micro-Dosed, Buffered Resurfacing
To achieve a "glass skin" finish, exfoliation must be daily, gentle, and imperceptible.
By combining multiple types of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) at lower concentrations, you can target different layers of the epidermis simultaneously without overwhelming the skin. When these acids are heavily buffered with hydrators like Glycerin and Sodium PCA, the skin receives the smoothing benefits without the inflammatory response.
How Kay's Glow Serum Refines Texture
Kay's Glow Serum acts as Phase 2 of The Bohemia Skin System, providing gentle renewal for dull, textured skin:
- The AHA Trio: Glycolic acid refreshes the surface, Lactic acid gently exfoliates while drawing in water, and Malic acid provides mild, balancing exfoliation.
- Oxygen Re-Energizing: Pure Oxygen helps lift the look of dullness and re-energizes surface cells, allowing light to reflect more evenly off your newly smoothed skin.
- No Stinging: Buffered entirely by Aloe, Sodium PCA, and botanical extracts to ensure the resurfacing process feels like a cool drink of water, not a chemical burn.
Maximize Resurfacing with Proper Hydration
After resurfacing with Kay's Glow Serum, you must lock in the moisture. Add the complete 3-Step Bohemia Skin System to safely cleanse with Boho Balm and instantly supply GHK-Cu Copper Peptides with Infinite Aura Moisturizer to seal the barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, when properly formulated. Kay's Glow Serum is designed for daily use because the AHA concentration is perfectly balanced and buffered. However, if you are new to acids, we recommend starting 2 to 4 nights per week and adjusting as your skin allows.
Yes. Lactic acid has a larger molecular size than Glycolic acid, meaning it penetrates the skin more slowly and gently. It is also a unique AHA because it is a humectant, meaning it actively draws moisture into the skin while it exfoliates.
Absolutely. AHAs remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. This new skin is highly vulnerable to UV damage. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable.

Many use it nightly. Start 2 to 4 nights per week and adjust as your skin allows.
The texture is designed to be non sticky and makeup friendly. Let it set, then moisturize and apply SPF.
Yes. AHAs can increase sun sensitivity. Use daily SPF.
Why this AHA trio works
- Oxygen glow: helps lift the look of dullness so results appear brighter, not harsh
- Glycolic refresh: Exfoliates surface buildup to reveal a fresher look.
- Lactic comfort: Known as one of the gentler AHAs and also draws in water.
- Malic balance: Supports mild exfoliation and complements other AHAs.
Resurfacing without the sting
Kay’s Glow uses glycolic, lactic, and malic acids to softly lift dull surface cells so light reflects more evenly. The finish is comfortable and designed to layer clean under moisturizer and makeup. Use it nightly or on alternate nights based on how your skin feels. Always wear SPF in the daytime when using AHAs.
AHAs softly remove dull surface cells. Oxygen, listed on our INCI, re-energizes surface cells for a healthy looking glow that complements the smoothing step. Always wear SPF by day.

Let customers speak for us
I am obsessed with this moisturizer. I have repurchased this product now 4x and my skin LOVES it. I pair this with the system - barrier renewal cream and lays glow serum and feel like my skin looks amazing and luminous under makeup or without. I can easily use a tinted sunscreen on top only and feel confident. I use this product most frequently of the 3 and replace it much quicker!

Kay is my icon and induce her and Tay’s TikTok at the time and on boho med spa on YouTube!!!! Kay is literally a true genius to make this amazing serum for everyone in the whole world!!!! all thanks to her !!!! it’s really been a judge difference to my skin!!! Absolutely recommend 1000% with the 3 combo!!!
these products are a lifesaver and I’ve been struggling with acne hormonal, oily, flaky, dry skin and acne scars and was not confident with bare skin in public cause of the acne and using filter for selfies. When I first try the products last week and the next day saw the huge difference!!! Acne less visible, soft skin with no dryness flaky and perfect for sensitive skin!!! And I finally found fully the perfect skincare routine and finally had the confidence on camera with no filter cause that’s my goal this year and it’s working. And also the bobo balm is also the perfect makeup remover- I’m an actor and I do a lot of theatre productions and wear lots of makeup and breakout easy- this is perfect to use when I finished the show and do my skincare in the dressing and go home fresh glow skin -recommended for all actors to use it. a huge thank you to Holly, Kay and the team for these amazing products that is absolutely a LIFESAVER for my skin 🩷 please get these products on Amazon or Bohemia skin
I have been using this product since it came out, so a few months now and my skin has such a glow to it and is always so soft. I am a few months postpartum and have not dealt with any breakouts which I usually do when I'm postpartum and my hormones are crazy so this is a life saver for me!
I started using this serum on my husbands skin and WOW. It not only smells delicious but it is also very moisturizing. His skin GLOWS and I’m telling you he looks 20 years younger. It also gives a gorgeous color to his face if that makes sense? He looks fresh and lively. We are both obsessed with this serum. It does everything it says it will. Don’t hesitate and just snag it before it’s sold out.
The glow serum is a great base for my makeup. I use this everyday I wear makeup and am on my second bottle now! It’s lightweight and smells great!
My FAVORITE cleanser! Perfect for the northeast winters when my skin is super dry. Also used this while in mexico because i knew my face would get red from the sun. So hydrating, cleanses perfectly and leaves you feeling dewy without leaving any residue. Forever will be buying!
I love the products. My skin has totally changed for the better. Thank you for creating such awesome products. My skin is clear,soft,smooth and hydrated.
This serum and moisturizer combo is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I am 51 and have lots of wrinkles. I have been using it since Aug 2025 and I can tell a noticeable difference in my skin. The glow serum makes my face feel amazing!!!!
As always, packaged and shipped wonderfully!
Love the 2 products together.
So glowy and hydrating. I'm obsessed!
Kay’s Glow Serum it’s like nothing that I’ve ever tried before. You can just feel it working the minute you put it on your skin. It feels literally like a cool drink for the skin when you apply it. It glides on and absorbs quickly. Moisturizer is so easy to apply over it. You literally get the glow from within look. I highly recommend this product. Run don’t walk!!! I’m on my second bottle!!
I’ve had such a skin journey, and I’ve been struggling to find something that actually works. I’ve struggled with acne since I was a teenager, and it never stopped not even in my late 20’s. I’ve been on accutane 2 times, and while it works for acne my skin would be so dry, and after 2 years being off the medicine, I would just end up with acne again, and it was always a cycle. I’ve been going to a dermatologist and getting prescription skin care since being a teenager, and it never worked. I ended up finding this skin care line and literally within a month of treatment and using your suggested skin care my acne was cleared up. Before Bohemia, I went back to a dermatologist tried antibiotics, tretinoin and it didn’t help. I knew the dermatologist wasn’t working, so I went looking for anything that would help. Within a month again of your suggested products, my skin started to really clear up. I use their Kay’s glow serum and it does a really good job at helping fight breakouts as well as keep my skin glowy and hydrated. I also use their cleansing balm, and I must say I am VERY picky when it comes to a cleansing balm. This one feels amazing on the skin and does a great job. It was my first step of stripping all my wedding makeup off, and with the amount of product on a face for a wedding I really thought I’d have to go in multiple rounds to get it all off, but first try the boho cleansing balm got ALL makeup off. A little goes a long way with product, and I am truly impressed. Like I said, I really do trust and put my faith in this brand. They know what they’re doing, and they genuinely know how to fix skin problems.
I began using just Kay’s Glow Serum about 3-4 months ago. And then about a month ago, I started using the full system. It has made all the difference for my skin. I’ve been trying to get my skin in the best possible shape for my wedding and I have sensitive skin. So trying new products is always a gamble for me. But this system didn’t cause me any issues. Before using the system, my skin always felt dry, tight and itchy. It was uncomfortable and it affected how my makeup went on. Now, my skin consistently feels plump, glowy and hydrated. I’ve started to love my skin without makeup which is something I didn’t think would ever happen for me. I look forward to doing my skincare each day. I will definitely be using this system from now on!
Smooth. Then glow.
Cleanse with Boho Cleansing Balm. Treat with Kay’s Glow Serum. Moisturize with Infinite Aura.
