Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 25% AHA and 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel 1 fl. oz.
From the brand behind the beauty industry’s favourite BHA toner comes a powerful, once-weekly mask that resurfaces to reveal radiant, smooth skin. Formulated to visibly smooth wrinkles, refine rough, bumpy texture, brighten your tone and unclog congested pores, it’s safe to say that the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel is a veritable overachiever.
Powered by a medley of exfoliating acids, PAULA’s CHOICE’s 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel gets to work in just 10 minutes to counter congested pores, smooth rough skin and reveal a radiant glow.
The concentrated, rinse-off peel harnesses water-soluble AHAs (8.4% glycolic acid, 7.1% lactic acid, 5% mandelic acid, 2.5% tartaric acid and 2% malic acid, to be exact) and oil-soluble salicylic acid to achieve multi-level resurfacing action. That’s a fair few acids, we know, but they’re balanced by calming plant extracts such as allantoin, bisabolol and plant-derived butterfly pea flower extract (the ingredient behind the blend’s natural lilac colour) to soothe irritation and reduce the signs of redness. Beyond fighting breakouts, diminishing blackheads and smoothing your skin, you can expect the peel to reveal hydrated, supple and luminous skin post-rinse.
Weekly, apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area and lips. Leave on for ten minutes then rinse using warm water. Pat dry. Do not use other exfoliants at the same time as this product. Do not use more than once per week.
