Product Information
Pore Unblocking Acid Peeling exfoliates and renews skin prone to blackheads. It improves tone and texture, unclogs and cleanses pores, and reduces their appearance for smoother skin.
Features
- 15% AHA (almond and glycolic acid) exfoliates dead skin cells, gradually smoothing the complexion and reducing blackheads. It stimulates skin renewal, improves firmness and evens out skin tone. Glycolic acid has the smallest molecule of all AHA acids, so it penetrates the deepest and stimulates the skin most strongly, helping to reduce discolouration, fine wrinkles and scars, as well as improving skin texture and colour. Mandelic acid, on the other hand, is an excellent choice for oily and acne-prone skins, as it normalises sebum production and has an antibacterial effect, inhibiting the growth of, among others, C. acnes responsible for the formation of pimples and papules. - 2% BHA (salicylic acid) with gradual release technology penetrates deep into the "pores", cleansing them from the inside. It regulates sebum secretion and gently exfoliates dead cells, thus smoothing and accelerating epidermal renewal. The molecular combination of salicylic acid and acacia polysaccharides that we have used slowly releases BHA after the product is applied to the skin, resulting in high efficacy with minimised risk of irritation. - Glutathione and resveratrol, with powerful antioxidant properties, reduce the tendency to develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. - Exfoliating tripeptide acts on the cellular connections in the stratum corneum and promotes proper, even exfoliation. As a result, it smoothes the epidermis and accelerates its regeneration. It makes the skin radiant, supports the reduction of blackheads and minimises the appearance of dry skin. - Allantoin soothes irritation, reduces burning and accelerates skin regeneration.
Warning or Restrictions
You can use the peel all year round, but avoid direct sun exposure and protect your skin with a sunscreen such as a light protective emulsion SPF 50+ and reapply every 2-3 hours during the day. Before application, do a sensitisation test on the elbow bend. To do this, apply a little of the product to clean and dry skin on the elbow bend, wash off after 10 minutes and observe for the next 24 hours. If an adverse skin reaction occurs, discontinue use of the product. If severe irritation occurs, stop using the product. The peel should not be combined in the same skincare routine (i.e. at the same time of day) with a serum containing retinol, nor should it be used with oral isotretinoin treatment.People undergoing topical or general dermatological treatment may use the peel only after consulting their doctor. When using the peel, we recommend implementing products that take care of the hydrolipidic barrier. There are no contraindications for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women, however, due to the increased tendency of the skin to hypertrichosis and hyperpigmentation during this period, we recommend reaching for a gentler exfoliating product such as a regenerating acid peel. Do not use on children under 3 years of age.

Product Uses
Apply to cleansed face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for approximately 10 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Use in the evening, 1-2 times a week. Do not apply to damaged or irritated skin. A slight burning sensation of the skin during the first applications is normal and is due to the low pH of the peel (below 3). You can also use the peel on the body, avoiding mucous membranes, e.g. on the back, décolleté or shoulders affected by acne or blemishes.
