15% AHA + 1% BHA Beginner Face Peeling Solution is a gentle, yet effective, weekly exfoliant designed to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion with just a 10-minute application. Formulated specifically for beginners, this peel combines three AHAs—glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids—at a combined total of 15% strength, with a 1% BHA (salicylic acid). Together, they work synergistically to unclog pores, slough off dead skin cells, and improve overall texture and tone.
Key Ingredients
- 5% Glycolic Acid (AHA): A small-molecule acid that penetrates deeply to boost collagen production, even out skin tone, and diminish the appearance of fine lines.
- 5% Lactic Acid (AHA): A gentle exfoliant derived from milk that helps hydrate while promoting cell turnover, leaving skin soft and radiant.
- 5% Mandelic Acid (AHA): Known for its larger molecular structure, it offers a milder exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin, reducing redness and pigmentation over time.
- 1% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to dissolve excess sebum and debris, preventing breakouts and reducing blackheads.
Benefits
- Gentle Weekly Exfoliation: With a combined 15% AHA concentration and 1% BHA, this formula is balanced for safe, once-a-week use—no daily irritation.
- Improves Texture & Tone: AHAs loosen the “glue” holding dead cells on the surface, promoting a smoother canvas and more even skin tone.
- Clearer, Unclogged Pores: Salicylic acid delves into the pore lining, helping to reduce and prevent blackheads and whiteheads.
- Hydration Support: Lactic acid’s humectant properties help lock in moisture, so skin doesn’t feel tight post-peel.
- Beginner-Friendly: Lower AHA concentrations and a modest 1% BHA make this peel suitable even if you’ve never tried chemical exfoliation before.
Who It’s For
- First-time chemical peel users.
- All skin types—normal, oily, combination, and even mildly sensitive—provided you follow patch test and usage guidelines.
- Anyone looking to address minor texture issues, uneven tone, clogged pores, and dullness without harsh physical scrubs.
How to Use
- Patch Test First: Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to check for irritation.
- Cleanse & Dry: Start with a clean, dry face. No toners or serums—just gentle cleansing.
- Apply Evenly: Dispense a thin layer of the peeling solution onto a clean cotton pad or fingertips. Avoid the eye area and lips.
- Leave On for 10 Minutes: Relax and let the peel work. Mild tingle or warmth is normal. If you experience excessive burning, rinse immediately.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Use lukewarm water to remove all residue, then pat skin dry.
- Follow with Hydration: Apply your favorite gentle moisturizer. Avoid layering active serums immediately afterward.
- Sun Protection Is Key: Because AHAs and BHAs increase sun sensitivity, follow up daily with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Cautions & Tips
- Frequency: Use only once per week, preferably in the evening.
- Sun Sensitivity: Always wear sunscreen the next day; avoid prolonged sun exposure for 48 hours.
- Avoid Mixing with Other Actives: Do not layer with retinol, vitamin C, or other acids on the same night to prevent irritation.
- Discontinue If Needed: If you develop persistent redness, itching, or peeling beyond normal exfoliation, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
