How it works

A peel is a short-contact step: it goes on, it works for the few minutes the pack allows, and it comes off again. This one carries four acid families at once, glycolic and lactic acid at the surface, mandelic acid as the larger and slower of the alpha hydroxy acids, gluconolactone as the polyhydroxy acid, and salicylic acid with capryloyl salicylic acid for the oil-soluble side. That combination is why it belongs in an evening of its own rather than in a routine that already includes an acid or a retinoid. Follow the timing printed on the pack, rinse, and put a plain moisturizer on afterwards. Once or twice a week is the most any skin needs from a step like this.

Key benefits

  • Glycolic, lactic and mandelic acids are the AHA acids on the list.
  • Gluconolactone is the PHA; capryloyl salicylic acid is the LHA.
  • Salicylic acid is declared at 2%, the only acid with a percentage on this bottle's list.
  • Panthenol and allantoin are on the list to offset the exfoliation.

How to use

  1. Use the AHA BHA PHA LHA 35 Peel in the evening, after cleansing, on clean dry skin.
  2. A thin even layer over the face, kept clear of the eyelids, the corners of the mouth and any broken skin.
  3. Leave it for the time the pack gives, rinse it off, then follow with a plain moisturizer and nothing else.
  4. Once or twice a week at most. Do not use it on the same evening as a retinoid or another acid, and do not leave it on longer than the pack says.

Worth knowing

  • This formula carries an active acid, so pairing it with another exfoliant in the same routine is worth spacing out.

What professionals say

What professionals say

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.

  • As we age, the glue that holds our skin cells together becomes denser, which slows down the natural cell turnover process.

    Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic
  • This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
