Description

The AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a 10-minute facial exfoliator that combines 30% Alpha Hydroxy Acids including glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acid with 2% salicylic acid to improve texture in no time.

Benefits

This AHA/BHA 32% solution has a pH of 3.6, offering exfoliation to the upper surface of the skin for a brighter and more even appearance, and helps to combat visible blemishes while improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines with continuous use.

It contains Tasmanian Pepperberry to reduce irritation associated with acid use. It is plant-derived and varies in color seasonally, and this color variation may be visible in the formula. Additionally, it includes a cross-linked polymer form of hyaluronic acid for comfort, Vitamin B5 to aid healing, and black carrot as an antioxidant.

Instructions for use

  • Clean the face and wait for the skin to dry. Do not use on wet skin. 
  • Apply evenly to the face and neck using fingertips, avoiding the eye area. 
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. 
  • Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes both during application and removal, and rinse well. 
  • This low-viscosity solution is intended to be used as a mask. 
  • Do not leave on for more than 10 minutes. 
  • It is not recommended to use more than twice a week. 

Contact of the product with the skin should be of limited frequency or duration. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch test prior to use.

Warning!

This solution contains a very high concentration of free acids. It is recommended to use it only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation and your skin is not sensitive.

Contraindications

The product should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn.

    Simply perfect, I went to Sephora in Thessaloniki searching for it like crazy. The next day I tried it and the results were immediate. Since then, I haven't had any pimples.

    It is an awesome product that helps with blemishes and pimples. Be careful not to get it in your eyes, I had a serious irritation, but it was my own fault. Your face will become soft and glowing after application. You can also apply it on your lips!

    I have oily skin with acne tendency. I have been using this peeling for 2 months, once a week. At first, I left it on for 2-3 minutes and gradually increased it to 10 minutes. Definitely, afterwards, it requires moisturizing and attention to not have wet skin when applying the peeling. Then, I rinse it off with lukewarm water. It never caused any irritation or itching for me, only a few times I felt a slight pulling sensation. I believe it does the job. Specifically, what I noticed is that the internal pimples I had (like white marks that don't pop) have significantly reduced. I haven't seen a tremendous difference in black spots on my nose and chin in the long run, but I think it generally helps with the skin. After a month of use, I started using the niacinamide from the same brand and now I have tighter pores, less oiliness, and definitely cleaner skin. I don't know if it's due to the combination of these two, but they have worked for me.

    It exfoliates the skin after application, I felt it softer, however, the next day I had 4-5 pimples and both times I used it within a month. I would not highly recommend it.

    Incredible product for combination and oily skin. I have intense oiliness on my face due to sebum, intense black spots on my nose, and pores on my cheeks. Since I started using this specific mask, the oiliness has decreased and the appearance of my skin has improved significantly.
    For application, it requires clean and dry skin. It did not irritate me at all.
    It is worth the money.
    Attention: This specific product contains acids, which means it should only be used during the winter months and, of course, with sunscreen in the morning, even if there is no sunlight, as there is a possibility of developing sunspots. Its use is prohibited during the summer months, even with sunscreen.

    This is a strong product, that's for sure. In terms of freshness after exfoliation, I don't feel it, but I don't use it for aesthetic reasons, mainly for exfoliation. Personally, I even put it in my eyes as I have very oily skin and it doesn't sting at all. I haven't experienced any irritation or anything, but I don't know to what extent this product can be used on sensitive skin...

    P.S. Ideally, use it twice a week for hardcore results...

    I left it for 5 minutes. At first, when I applied it, I felt a tingling sensation on my face, nothing terrible. When I removed it, my face was clean and bright (even noticed at work!!) and very soft. I am very satisfied. 45+ years old, combination skin.

    I agree with all the comments, the use of it at the beginning should be done more cautiously, as soon as you feel tingling or burning, rinse it off. I started applying it for 3 minutes and then with use, the skin gets used to it and there is no discomfort within 10 minutes. It helped me a lot with very small pimples that appeared on my forehead during stressful periods and they all disappeared after two applications (do not use it on pimples with a wound or pus). I have been using it for two years and will buy it again

    Amazing product! Ten minutes application on clean and dry skin. Caution away from the eyes. The result is clean, bright, soft skin without prominent pores and it eliminates any pimple or blemish that exists. It doesn't require much quantity. Application with fingers and gentle massage, you leave it and it does the job on its own. I didn't expect it to be so good!

    Verified purchase from MedicalSupport

    First time I feel the texture of my skin so smooth, my cheeks were free from clogged pores and I have seen a huge difference with the use of the peeling solution.
    CAUTION: The acids contained in the solution are very strong, its use should be limited to once a week and should not be left on the skin for more than 10 minutes.

    I was particularly skeptical as I have sensitive skin, which lately was in dire need of exfoliation and nothing else I tried was working. Use it sparingly at first, don't go straight for the ten minutes. Read the instructions carefully before use, it's not just a simple mask. And as other reviews point out, be careful with sun exposure afterwards. Overall, I believe that for its price and what it offers, it is very much worth it.

    From the very first uses, I noticed a difference. I was afraid because I have combination and sensitive skin, but it didn't irritate me at all. It needs moisturizer and sunscreen immediately after use every day. I do it every 10 days and leave it on for 5 minutes, no need for a primer

    Roughness and a sensation like little pinches at the beginning, especially since the skin was not accustomed to it. Start with 2 minutes and increase by one minute each week to allow the skin to adjust. Be careful to moisturize the skin afterwards. I noticed a visible difference in black spots and the cleanliness and radiance of the face

    Excellent product for skin exfoliation. As stated on the packaging, it is advisable not to leave it on for more than 5 minutes during the first use, as it is a quite powerful product that can cause irritation. It is very important for the skin to be completely dry before use, otherwise it is certain to cause irritation. Avoid sun exposure for the next few hours, I personally use it at night and preferably if I don't go outside in intense sunlight the next day.

    It is quite good for its price to exfoliate the skin. Like all skincare products, it requires moderation and consistency. Personally, I use it about once a week to keep my skin clean, unclogged, and radiant. Be careful not to apply it on redness, rashes, etc., as it is likely to leave marks. It can also be used on underarms, legs, etc., to help with discoloration

    I don't think it can be used twice a week, it is quite strong and with this use it will bring opposite results from what we want, the skin needs to be soothed after its use. I bought it as a backup because I also do external peeling with a dermatologist using mandelic and glycolic acid, as a more economical solution, and I tried it for the first time yesterday. I left it on for 10 minutes and rinsed it off. It definitely does a good job, the feeling it left on my skin is the same as when I do peeling externally, but it needs another use to see effectiveness on small imperfections, so I will come back, but I believe it is definitely worth its money.

    This peeling requires special attention but overall it does a nice job as a step before going somewhere to look extra radiant. I have never seen it leave black marks or give me crazy cleansing, but it definitely leaves a smooth feeling and the skin doesn't appear dull. Definitely very sunscreen if you go out in the sun afterwards and it's better to use it at night, with plenty of hydration afterwards. For its price, it is quite good

    (Mixed/sensitive skin) I have only used it once. I left it on for 5 minutes because it was the first time. As soon as I applied it, I felt a slight tingling sensation, but very mild. When I rinsed it off (with plenty of water), I didn't see any difference, but after a few hours, my skin was glowing, something I didn't expect from the first use. And in the patch test I had done on my hand, I noticed that after rinsing it off, that area was glowing and stood out from the rest of the skin! It definitely needs moisturizing immediately afterwards. I didn't intend to write a review so quickly, but I'm really impressed!

    It has a relatively neutral smell, it stings slightly. Not something tragic though, I use it when I want a drastic exfoliation. Not very often and definitely not in the summer, I'm a little afraid of it. Afterward, I apply a serum from the same company and the result is good, my skin is smooth and even, and I would say it reduces my pores. I would buy it again, I think it's good for its price.

    If used correctly and strictly following the instructions, it works wonders. On a skin like mine with redness, oiliness, and black spots, it somehow works! But how.. once a week.. at the beginning for exactly 2 minutes.. the following week 3 minutes, etc. up to a maximum of 10 minutes, never exceeding that! And no exaggerations as we said, once a week!!! Then I rinse gently with a damp cloth and then under cool water.. and definitely sunscreen in the morning.. (you can easily get burned if you don't apply). The feeling it leaves is a soft and super clean skin.. more radiant!

    It is the 3rd time I use it and I deduct one star because I don't know long-term results. What it definitely does for oily skin is to minimize pores and make the face appear more even and radiant. It stings slightly, but it is tolerable for me. I am waiting to see results on acne marks (red spots, tiny scars) and I will write again.

    It caused irritation to my skin, I have combination skin with pimples which got worse after using this product. Maybe it's because I used it in March when there is high sun exposure in the morning, although I did use sunscreen. Anyway, I have tried a mask with acids from a Greek company and I liked the result more
