Increasingly, there are enthusiastic reviews online about how effective Natura Siberica peeling with AHA acids is against many skin defects. The peculiarity of the drug is that to cleanse the dermis you do not have to go to the salon and undergo aggressive procedures. Cleaning procedures can be carried out at home, in a comfortable environment, significantly saving time and money. Before making a purchase, it is better to find out how Natura Siberica acid peeling works, who is recommended to use it, and what women think about the results.
Who is suitable for whitening peeling from Natura Siberica?
Peeling Natura Siberica with AHA acids is recommended if there are problems on the skin that are not amenable to whitening creams or homemade masks. The drug can be used for the following dermal defects:
- spots of pigment, scattering of freckles;
- unhealthy skin tone;
- looseness, porosity;
- active work of the sebaceous glands, leading to the appearance of an oily layer on the face;
- sagging, flabbiness.
Reviews of the Natura SibericaWhite whitening facial peeling indicate that a rejuvenating effect can only be achieved by tightening the dermis and eliminating sagging.
Do you know? It is not possible to get rid of wrinkles using the drug; it is better not to purchase it for this purpose. It is recommended to use the product as an auxiliary measure.
How to properly use peeling with AHA acids?
There will be no particular difficulties with using Natura Siberica facial peeling with AHA BHA acids - the procedure is carried out according to a simple scheme. The dermis is processed in stages:
- Cleanse the skin of remnants of decorative cosmetics.
- Remove any remaining moisture and wait until the dermis is completely dry.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Natura Siberika whitening facial peeling with massaging movements, do not touch areas with sensitive skin (near the lips, eyes).
- Leave the drug for 4-6 minutes.
- Remove the composition with a sponge, wash with warm water.
- The final stage of manipulation is the application of protective cream.
Do you know? Before carrying out the procedure, you need to test the Natura SibericaWhite whitening peeling for the face - the aggressive composition can cause irritation on the sensitive dermis. To prevent problems, apply 1-3 drops of the drug to the “crescent” behind the ear and wait 2 hours. If burning or rashes do not appear, feel free to start cleaning.
Acid peels for radiant skin. What do our bloggers love and use?
Every year, with the onset of cold and cloudy days, many girls begin to be tormented by the same question: what peeling to buy?
Now is the perfect time to take care of your skin and start using skincare products that contain acids. But how to choose the right option? There are a lot of peelings on the market now, they vary in action (for problem skin, anti-aging, whitening, etc.), and are available in different formats (serums, masks, tonics, creams). Acids and their content are also different everywhere. We decided to sort through all this diversity and help you make the right choice. In this article you will find only proven peelings and recommendations for use from our girls.

The best acid products for me, as a rule, were Korean ones and those bought from Iherb. My favorite cream is Reviva Labs, 5% Glycolic Acid Cream, which I plan to talk about in detail separately, but here I just highly recommend paying attention to it. But somehow things didn’t work out very well with “our” acids, but still, among Russian ones there are very worthy options, and below I will talk about one of these. I usually have several products with acids, I can’t imagine my care without them, but for the article I chose two different ones - a soft one and a more vigorous one 
Natura siberica wild berries whitening peeling with AHA/BHA acids
I once bought several products from the Siberika whitening line - foam, serum, scrub and peeling. And the coolest not only of these four, but in general one of the most successful facial products for NS for me turned out to be whitening peeling.
The composition is truly incredible, there is lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids, panthenol (and, as usual with Siberika, various oils and extracts). To be honest, I was skeptical about the description and composition, because some of the products from this manufacturer with compositions that were excellent at first glance were not particularly effective. But this time Natura Siberika pleasantly surprised me.
Here's the whole lineup:
Aqua, Octyldodecanol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerine, Glyceryl stearate, Cetearyl glucoside, Lactic acid, Glycolic Acid, Panthenol, Sodium Hydroxide, Rubus idaeus fruit water, Rubus Arcticus Fruit Extract, Rubus idaeus seed oil, Corispermum sibiricum extract, Spiraea ulmaria extract, Pinus Sibirica Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters PS, Citric acid, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium sorbate, Parfum, Linalool, Cl 16035, Cl 16255.
Externally, the peeling looks like a thick viscous cream with tiny, barely noticeable particles. The smell is not sharp, with notes of raspberries and other berries. According to the instructions, the product should be applied to the skin, left for 5-7 minutes and then rinsed off. Sometimes I leave it on a little longer - I simply forget that there is something on the skin, because the peeling does not dry out, does not tighten, or causes a burning sensation. But it’s better not to do this - you can feel the acids there, and if you overdo it, the skin may turn a little red. It washes off without much effort.
What I love most about the result is how incredibly smooth my skin feels! At the same time, there is a feeling that the surface of the skin is evened out, and not just smoothed out. Also, peeling has a positive effect on skin color, returning a healthy shade, and the tone after the procedure becomes more uniform. When I saw such an effect, and even in the absence of unpleasant reactions and dryness, I began to want to use it almost every day!
But with frequent use, it began to seem that the effect was no longer as bright as after two or three procedures. Therefore, I use it 2 times a week, this is enough to maintain at least visible smoothness of the skin and a healthy complexion and maintain the results of other - both daily and more powerful acidic products. And it also seemed to me that it helps improve the condition of skin with signs of inflammation (making them less noticeable).
There is also a scrub in this series, which is also good, but I recommend the peeling, it is more powerful, in my opinion. By the way, there is an icon on the package with the word “export”. Maybe that’s also why the remedy turned out to be successful.
Volume 150 ml, price - about 350 rubles.
Anti-aging mask with azelaic acid, clay and charcoal
Azelique, Clay Mask, Age Refining Activated Charcoal & Clay Mask, with Azelaic Acid
I was immediately very interested in Iherb with its composition and description, but the price confused me, and the purchase remained “in the plans”... But somehow there was an almost 50% discount on it, and they also canceled delivery, and then I didn’t I could resist!
Judging by the composition and description, you can expect Azelik to act in different directions, and it seems to me that it can actually be useful for both problem and aging skin. This mask is interesting because in addition to glycolic acid it also contains azelaic acid, as well as activated carbon, clay, algae, hyaluronic acid, panthenol and extracts of green tea, cucumber and aloe. The description says “for all skin types”, but I doubt it would be very sensitive, but those who like “over-the-top” products will probably like it.
Compound:
Deionized water, kaolin, glycerin, potassium azeloyl diglycinate, glyceryl stearate SE, apricot (prunus armeniaca) seed powder, charcoal, sodium hyaluronate, sea kelp (macrocystis pyrifera) extract, cucumber (cucumis sativas) fruit extract, green tea (camellia sinensis) leaf extract, glycolic acid, panthenol, xanthan gum, menthyl lactate, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, potassium sorbate, fragrance. No sulfates, parabens, dyes, animal testing or animal ingredients.
The tube is rather large, volume 140 ml. The mask itself is gray in color (apparently due to activated carbon), with small particles. According to the instructions, apply to the skin and leave for 5-15 minutes or until dry. After application it begins to “burn”, but everything is tolerable and not scary, with some masks (and even Mila Milo) it happened that in the first minutes you felt such a “fire” that you wanted to run and wash it off. And from Azelik - the usual feeling that often happens when using acid masks. If you apply a thin layer, then, of course, the clay-based product will dry quickly, so I apply more, and in this case the mask feels quite comfortable and does not tighten the skin.
It is washed off quickly, and during the washing process, the scrubbing particles also exfoliate the skin. By the way, they are small and quite sharp (but not too sharp), and as a lover of gentle peelings, I usually easily massage only the areas of the nose and forehead, and simply wash them off my cheeks. And those who like “harsher” products will probably like this mask for its excellent exfoliation! She actually handles it with an A+.
The mask perfectly cleanses the skin and pores, and, despite the fact that it “tingles”, and the skin may remain pink for the first couple of minutes after the procedure, somehow it manages to have a calming effect (unless, of course, we are talking about open wounds and inflammations, but in this case, it’s probably better to abstain from such drugs altogether). The skin after the mask is matte, velvety and tightened, and blackheads and pores are less pronounced, which is why I mentioned at the beginning of the review that this mask can be well suited for both problem and “aging” skin! She, of course, will not be able to radically change something, you should not expect miracles, but still this amazing action, little by little in different directions, ultimately gives a good result. The most important thing for me personally is that after use the skin becomes fresher and smoother, as if a little tighter and smoother and, in general, just looks better and younger. I really like almost everything about Azelique - the chic composition, convenience, versatility and effect. The only thing I didn’t really like was the price... On the other hand, everything is relative - for example, the popular Elizavecca mask costs about 1000 rubles, but if you compare the effect, then I see more benefits from Azelique. But in any case, if someone is interested in the mask, I recommend keeping an eye on the promotions.

This is not the first time I have purchased natural facial peeling gel from Planeta Organica Firstly, it works effectively on my skin, and secondly, the price is very reasonable for a product with AHA acids.
Compound:
Aqua enriched with Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract* (papaya extract), Papain (papaya enzyme), Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fiber (apple fiber), Citric AcidN (citric acid), Lactic AcidN (lactic acid), Bromelain ( Pineapple Enzyme), Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternfolia Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Guaiacum Officinale Wood Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Peel Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Melia Azadirachta Oil* neem tree), Echinacea Purpurea Extract (echinacea extract), Linoleic Acid (and) Oleic Acid (and) Linolenic Acid (vitamin F), Mandelic AcidN (mandelic acid), Saccharum Officinarum Extract (sugarcane extract), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (licorice extract), Citrus Medica Limonum Fruit Extract (lemon extract), Salicylic AcidN (salicylic acid), Retinol (vitamin A), Lecithin, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract (rosemary extract), Glycolyc AcidN (glycolic acid), Hydroxypropyl Starch PhosphateNI, Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), Sodium HydroxideN, Iron OxydesN, Benzyl AlcoholNI, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzoic AcidNI, Sorbic AcidNI.
Alpha hydroxy acids are suitable for all skin types, even dry and sensitive. Products with these acids gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, thereby making it softer and preventing flaking. For myself, I have discovered the most effective way to use gel peeling from Planeta Organica. I apply it to steamed, cleansed, dry skin for 10-15 minutes. The first few minutes there is a tingling sensation, then it goes away.
The peeling on the face does not dry out, it just gets absorbed a little. It washes off with water without any problems. You most likely will not see a clear effect after the first use; you need to use it regularly. I noticed immediate results after just a month of use: persistent acne spots became noticeably lighter. Peeling stopped appearing even after walking in windy weather and during the heating season, and the skin became softer.
After this peel, I almost always apply a cleansing mask. Because there is an opinion that cleansers work better after acid peels, but I didn’t notice this on myself.
Volume 50 ml, price - about 170 rubles.
Rita (Fleur)
As the owner of problematic facial skin, I try to use products with acids regularly, because only from them I see a noticeable effect. I paid attention to the product from Ecco Bella about three years ago, because it contains a rare combination of AHA and BHA acids, but it could only be ordered on iherb, and at that time I was not particularly friendly with online stores. Over the years, nothing has changed in principle, my skin has not gotten better, I still love acids, the product was still of interest, but I surprisingly got along well with iherb. Therefore, in the very first order, the treasured fluid came to me.
Ecco Bella, Leave-in Clear Exfoliant & Blemish Eliminator,
Leave-On Invisible Exfoliant & Blemish Remedy
I’ll say right away about its significant drawback - it’s the bottle. It is glass, heavy and without a dispenser, in order to get the product you have to turn it over, which is completely inconvenient and often not very aesthetically pleasing. Customers write complaints about this on the website over and over again, but nothing changes, this is strange for me, because even the composition has already been slightly adjusted, although this was not at all necessary, and they continue to stubbornly turn a blind eye to the need for a dispenser. By the way, about the composition - see for yourself. I’m not very good at this, but even in my opinion, with such components, the product simply has to work.
Compound:
Aloe vera barbadensis *, citric and passionflower acids, lactic acid, salicylic acid, xanthan gum, clay, avena sativa oat extracts *, calendula officinalis *, licorice glycyrrhiza glabra *; VitaminCells: Non-GMO Soy Lecithin Liposomes with Full Spectrum Vitamin E with Palm Tocopherols and Tocotrienols, Vitamin C Ascorbyl Palmitate, Astaxanthin, Beta Carotene, Lutein, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin, CoQ10; Essential oils of lavender lavandula angustifolia, rosemary leaf rosmarinus officinalis and geranium pelargonium graveolens, sodium levulinate, sodium anisate. *Certified Organic
And it really works. I've been using it for about a month, applying it daily two hours before bed to cleansed facial skin and not rinsing it off. From time to time I feel a slight tingling sensation on the skin, but it does not cause any discomfort. The fluid itself is like water, only thicker; it spreads over the skin, therefore, very easily, but is never completely absorbed. There is always a slight sticky feeling on the skin. I was also prepared for this, having studied the reviews in advance and this did not bother me at all, the main thing was that there was a result. And it is there and quite noticeable, even after a couple of days of use. In the morning, after the first use, the skin looked much fresher, the pores were tightened, the complexion was even.
Of course, in the first two weeks this effect was rather short-term; by the evening, constant problems again made themselves felt. But constant use bore fruit - the skin became better. The relief has leveled out significantly, subcutaneous comedones have ceased to bother me and disappeared, my skin even feels smooth to the touch (and for me this is rare). Fresh acne marks disappeared quite quickly, old spots, unfortunately, remained in place, lightening only slightly. The skin tone has become more even, the eternal gray tint has disappeared. Various emerging inflammations began to heal instantly, sometimes they disappear literally overnight. As for the blackheads, they only lightened slightly, but this is more likely the result of the complex use of various products.
It is this fluid that does not have as dramatic an effect on them as we would like. In this regard, I even liked the budget line with salicylic acid (I wrote about it here).
If we talk about use, the manufacturer does not give clear recommendations on this matter. You can apply the fluid only to problem areas or spot on inflammation, it can be applied to the whole face (this is what I do), it can be once a day, it can be twice - it all depends on the degree of your problem and the desired result. The main thing is not to forget that it is advisable to use a cream with a protection factor. Although, with such grayness outside the window as ours, sometimes you begin to doubt such a necessity.
The product is used very economically, I think one such bottle will easily be enough for the entire autumn-winter period, so the expediency of the purchase is very justified.
Overall, to sum it up, I’m incredibly pleased with this fluid - I see the result, and it makes me happy. What else do you need?
The cost is $26.7. Link to iherb here.

This winter (more precisely, since the end of September) I have been using as many as 4 products with acids: cleansing gel, mask, tonic and night cream. I realized that without acids in my care, I simply cannot keep my oily and problematic skin under control: comedones, persistent blackheads, pimples immediately appear, and my complexion becomes sallow.
For washing, I use my favorite and now necessary CHRISTINA COMODEX washing gel from the professional line (when purchasing, pay attention to which COMODEX gel you take - the gel for home use (without acids) is sold in a small tube, and in a bottle with a pump - a gel for salon use that contains acids. This is the problem CHRISTINA has with rulers. Naturally, a gel with acids is preferable. I use it at night, but after removing makeup and washing with an ordinary mild product, because due to its It does not remove makeup at pH level, but it perfectly refreshes the skin and serves as a preparation for further acid care. The working acid in the gel is glycolic.
Once or twice a week I do the well-known CORA acid mask. Working acids – glycolic, lactic, tartaric, citric. After it, the complexion noticeably improves, comedones and blackheads dissolve, acne decreases or disappears altogether. This mask has also become my must-have, I consider it one of the best of its kind and I order it as I use it.
New to my acid skincare routine are two products from Reviva Labs – a toner and a cream. Since these are not very well-known acid products, I will dwell on them in more detail.
Reviva Labs, Glycolic Acid Facial Toner
Tonic. 118 ml, working acid – glycolic, percentage not specified. The tonic is light yellow in color, transparent, with a recognizable smell of acidic cosmetics. I apply it after washing my face or mask using a cotton pad. The tonic tingles the skin noticeably, but does not cause irritation, redness, itching, allergies, etc. Not sticky. I haven’t used it without cream, so I can’t evaluate it as a stand-alone product.
Compound:
Water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, allantoin, potassium sorbate, beta carotene, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin.
Price: $7.34, can be purchased here.
Reviva Labs, 5% Glycolic Acid Cream, Anti Aging
Cream. 42 g, working acid – glycolic, 5%. The cream is white-yellow in color and resembles yogurt or thick kefir in appearance and consistency. I apply it after toner or cleansing when I’m too lazy to use toner. The cream stings much less than the tonic. Not greasy, not sticky, absorbs very quickly.
Compound:
Water, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycolic acid, glycol distearate, glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid, (d-alpha) tocopherol, retinyl palmitate, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, aloe leaf juice powder, lemon peel oil, honeysuckle extract, safflower oil, comfrey leaf extract, clary oil, matricaria flower extract, carrot root extract, pumpkin seed oil, witch hazel, sd40 alcohol, polysorbate 60, albumen, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate. No parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil, petroleum, or other harmful ingredients.
Price: $15.30, product link.
With regular use (and in 2 months, unfortunately, I had some omissions), the toner and cream smooth out the skin texture well, reduce the number of clogged pores and pimples. Very worthy and, by the way, quite affordable products that I ordered from Iherb. However, I note with regret that you won’t be able to go to the land of absolutely clear skin using them alone – isolated pimples still appear. And in general, this is just evening care.
Therefore, just in case, I would like to emphasize that during the acid season you should not forget about other products:
- gentle wash that does not dry out the skin
- cream that protects and moisturizes your skin
- antibacterial agent (for example, Klindovit)
I have all this, and you?)
Dasha (mrs_serejkina)
To put it mildly, I am not at all a connoisseur of acids. I just heard once that acid products work well and are simply irreplaceable for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin. I heard it once, I heard it twice... And then three, four, ten and so on. As a result, of course, it was deposited in the subcortex: “Acids are great, acids are what I need.”
Noreva Exfoliac Acnomega 100
Without further ado, I chose one of the most famous creams - Noreva Exfoliac Acnomega 100 - and decided to take the version with a weaker concentration to get acquainted. However, I also don’t have any serious problems with my skin: blackheads usually bother me and occasional rashes and inflammations occur.
Compound:
Aqua, Tri-C12-C13 Alkyl Citrate, Glycolic Acid, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Disodium EDTA, Zinc Gluconate, Xanthan Gum, Bisabolol, Disodium Lauriminodiprop ionate Tocopheryl Phosphates , 10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid, Sebacic Acid, 1,10-Decanediol, Retinyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Parfum (Fragrance).
So I bought it and began to wait for a miracle. I won’t hide it - I didn’t notice the effect for a long time. But, I emphasize: I DID NOT NOTICE. And he was! Gradually, the inflammation began to decrease, and if some nasty pimple still popped up, I could be sure that the very next day, instead of a red bump, there would be a pale spot, almost flat, in this place. One thing alone was enough to make you love the Acnomega 100, right?
But that's not all! The cream greatly narrowed (though in combination with regular, non-acid care) the pores, and significantly thinned out the colony of blackheads on the face. I suddenly caught myself thinking that I hadn’t used a scrub for a month and a half, and for me this is something out of the realm of fantasy, because before, every day I felt protruding columns of sebum, no matter how hard I tried to cleanse my skin as thoroughly as possible.
He is not yet able to cope with the most stubborn bastards who are comfortably located in my nasolabial triangle, but here, I think, something else needs to be connected. Frankly, I’m looking forward to this joint post of ours - I’m eager to spy on the acid must-haves of other girls.
I am now running out of Acnomega 100, and I will definitely repeat this product.
Volume -30ml, price - about 1000 rubles in online pharmacies.

I am the ideal “patient” for using acids. That case when you have not yet finished the fight against acne, but you already need to start a new one - with wrinkles. And getting rid of post-acne and getting a healthy, even complexion is the dream of my whole life. It would seem that one product cannot combine all these properties, with one exception - if it does not contain special acids.
Mizon Peeling Serum AHA 8% Peeling Serum
For some time I was afraid of using such products, but, in the end, the desire to have beautiful skin won out (and I believe that acids are the most powerful “allies” in this matter). I decided to give myself over to the most popular and, according to reviews from other bloggers, effective Korean serum containing 8% glycolic acid, which, as far as I know, is quite a lot for home use.
As I already understood, I’m generally “thick-skinned” - very little bothers me, and usually everything suits me, so my skin is definitely not sensitive, but combination, prone to oiliness and the appearance of various unpleasant inflammations.
I had high hopes for the serum (probably, one could even say that my requests were poorly comparable to reality) and, probably, that’s why I was a little disappointed at first. But after a while I managed to warm up to it and am going to order it again.
Compound:
Aqua, Glycolic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lactate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Carica Papaya (papaya) Fruit Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Gentiana Lutea Root Extract, Alcohol, Polyquaternium-10, Disodium Edta, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance
I can’t help but note the cool bottle: a pipette with a convenient button dispenser and a nice design. The only thing is that it’s difficult to estimate the remaining product in it, but by weight you can roughly guess when the serum will run out.
The texture of the serum is like thick “water” - it spreads easily over the face, but leaves a slight stickiness, which, however, quickly disappears. The smell is sour, which is expected.
There is an effect on my “impenetrable” skin: after the first use (!) I feel smoothness (I don’t know how, but it is), the texture is evened out (along with wrinkles), peeling disappears, and at the same time I feel good hydration (and I use this, applying the serum “solo”, although it is wrong to do so) and there is no greasy shine. As for acne and blackheads, in my case this serum is powerless, as well as in the matter of evening out the tone of the face. Or, at least, the changes are so insignificant that I don’t notice them (but I haven’t yet come across a product that I would be really delighted with in terms of brightening my complexion/eliminating post-acne). However, I really like what she does (and does well). No wonder many people praise her so much. So I will not be an exception.
Volume 40 ml, price - about 1500 rubles in Korean cosmetics stores.

I've been a long-time fan of acids and have been using them regularly in my skincare routine for years. All these peels and tonics help keep problem skin under control, cleanse it, eliminate various troubles in the early stages and make life much easier. Even in the summer I use acids, I just choose light options with a small percentage of the active component. And with the onset of cloudy autumn days, I immediately switch to serious peelings. Last year I tried Alpha-H “liquid gold”, I was very pleased with it, and this year I bought their peeling again, only a new version with rose, I’ll probably write about it in a separate article. And here I mentioned it for comparison with another peeling that I want to talk about.
Pixi Beauty, exfoliating pads, Glow Peel Pads, Advanced Exfoliating Treatment
This modest plastic jar with the funny name Pixi hides a real treasure. The comparison with Liquid Gold Rose from Alpha-H is not accidental; in both cases, the main active acid is glycolic, and the additional ingredient is rose extract. Alpha-H peeling is more expensive and the brand itself is considered professional, however, I liked Pixi more!
What's so magical about this peeling? Firstly, this has a good and powerful composition, 20% glycolic acid is no joke. In addition, extracts of various plants, auxiliary lactic and salicylic acids and retinyl palmitate (one of the forms of retinol). Peeling with such ingredients simply cannot fail to be effective.
Compound:
Water, glycolic acid, aminomethyl propanol, glycerin, rosa damascena flower extract, polysorbate 20, SD alcohol 40-B, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water, phenoxyethanol, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, arginine, tocopherol, sodium hydroxide, propanediol, caprylyl glycol , ethylhexylglycerin, leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, lactic acid, salicylic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, caprylhydroxamic acid, benzoic acid, retinyl palmitate, sodium carbonate, sodium chloride.
Secondly, it is very convenient to use. Impregnated discs are now becoming increasingly popular, and I also really like this format. The package contains 60 discs - with daily use it will last for 2 months, but it is not necessary to use it every day, it is better to start with 2-3 times a week, and when the result is achieved, simply switch to the support mode and reduce the intensity. There is not a lot of liquid, and at first it seems that the discs are poorly saturated, but this is not the case. There is exactly as much composition as needed.
When applied to the skin, a thin, slightly oily layer remains, nothing flows or drips, and the remaining liquid on the disc is enough to apply the composition on the décolleté or hands. After a few minutes, the composition should be washed off the skin with plain water. The manufacturer recommends applying peeling for 2-3 minutes, but in my experience this time can be increased to 5-10 minutes, not immediately, but after a couple of weeks when the skin gets used to it.
What surprised me very much: with such a serious composition, the peeling does not burn or sting and is not felt at all on the skin. It seems that nothing happens at all; after rinsing with water, there are also no unpleasant consequences in the form of redness, tightness and irritation. But the acids work and the result will be noticeable immediately; after the first use, the effect is approximately the same as after an enzymatic peeling roller: smooth and soft skin with a smoothed texture and narrowed pores. And after each subsequent time, the appearance gets better: a more even complexion, lightening of pigmentation and post-acne, reduction of blackheads and closed comedones, improved relief. And after some time, this Glow effect really appears, the skin becomes smooth and radiant.
These discs are sold on many popular sites: Asos, Cult beauty, lookfantastic, I ordered on Iherb, they had the best price, $22.
Pixi also has peelings in other formats: masks, tonics. If you are looking for high-quality and effective acids, I advise you to pay attention to this brand.
Do you use acids? What's your favorite peel right now?
