    What is a peeling?

    A peeling is a treatment that removes dead skin cells and improves the skin's texture. This treatment stimulates cell renewal and results in a smoother and healthier skin surface.

    Peelings come in various strengths and formulations, from mild to intensive, and adapt to the needs of your skin. They work based on active ingredients such as AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) that exfoliate the skin and give it a fresher appearance.

    How do you know how strong a peeling is? 

    The strength of a peeling depends on the ingredients used and the pH level of the formula. The lower the pH level, the stronger the peeling. This makes it important to consider the sensitivity of your skin when choosing a peeling.

    The pH value of peelings 

    • Mild peelings: pH value of 4 or higher, suitable for daily use and sensitive skin.
    • Medium peelings: pH value between 3 and 4, penetrates deeper into the skin and is effective for dull and clogged skin.
    • Strong peelings: pH value lower than 3, provides intensive exfoliation and can effectively address imperfections and pigmentation spots.

    Use strong peelings sparingly and follow product instructions to avoid over-exfoliation.

    How often can you use it? 

    Strong peelings are intensive and require a careful build-up schedule. Applying most strong peelings once a week is usually sufficient. This gives the skin time to recover and fully benefit from the active ingredients. For mild peelings, you can choose more frequent use depending on the formulation and your skin type.

    The best peeling for your skin? The power of The AHA Peel

    The AHA Peel is an effective exfoliant specially formulated with a complex of alpha hydroxy acids. These acids stimulate skin cell renewal, help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and give your skin a fresh, radiant appearance.

    Thanks to its mild exfoliating action, this peeling is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. By removing dead skin cells, the skin is optimally prepared for the next steps in your care routine, allowing products to be better absorbed and refining pores for a smooth texture.

    The gentle exfoliation process makes the skin receptive to the powerful anti-aging ingredients in The Day Formula, which can penetrate deeper and work more effectively due to the peeling.



    How to use?

    1. Preparation: Always start with a cleansed, dry skin to achieve the best result.
    2. Application: Apply two pumps of the AHA Peel evenly over the face, avoiding the eye area.
    3. Processing time: Let the peeling work for 10 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.
    4. Frequency: Start with the product 2 to 3 times a week, depending on your skin type and reaction. Begin with less frequent use and gradually increase usage.

    During the first applications, you may experience a slight tingling sensation or redness. This is normal and usually decreases with regular use. If your skin responds well, you can eventually use the AHA Peel up to five times a week for an even more intensive result. Use the peeling after The Cleanser and The Toner, and follow with The Day Formula or The Night Formula for maximum results.
