10 minutes to glow

A concentrated, rinse-off exfoliant peel that goes to work in just 10 minutes to improve multiple signs of ageing, sun damage and congested pores. Water-soluble AHAs address fine lines, wrinkles and rough, crepey texture, while oil-soluble BHA unclogs and refines. The result after rinsing? Hydrated, supple, ultra-glowy skin.

This liquid-gel formula includes powerhouse ingredients like 2% salicylic acid and a potent AHA blend of 8.4% glycolic acid, 7.1% lactic acid, 5% mandelic acid, 2.5% tartaric acid and 2% malic acid to deliver multi-level resurfacing. At the same time, research-backed, calming plant extracts allantoin, bisabolol, glycyrrhetinic acid soothe skin. Plant-derived butterfly pea flower extract calms and gives the formula its natural lilac colour.

How to use

Step 3 Exfoliants 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel

How to use an exfoliant

Once per week, use on clean skin. Apply a generous layer all over the face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use other exfoliants on the same day as this product.

Please note: Slight tingling may occur; if this happens, it should subside within a moment or two. If it does not subside or intensifies, immediately rinse peel with warm water. Do not use on compromised, sensitised skin.

Sun protection advice when using any AHA exfoliant: This product contains alpha hydroxy acids, ingredients that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater every day. When outdoors, wear protective clothing whenever possible, seek shade, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.
Step 1: Cleanser
Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.
Step 2: Toner
With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.
Step 3 Exfoliants
Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.
Step 4 Treatments
Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.
Step 5 Moisturisers
Use a day moisturiser as the last step in your morning skincare routine and apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. As always, it's best to reapply every two hours once the skin has been exposed to direct sunlight. For a night moisturiser, apply a small amount once or twice daily to the face and neck.

FAQ

Most asked

Who is the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel for?

This product is ideal for anyone with advanced signs of ageing and sun damage or severely clogged pores and congested skin who are seeking an effective, peel-type product for at-home use. This advanced, rinse-off exfoliant can be an ideal complement to your daily leave-on exfoliants.

Does the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel replace my current leave-on exfoliant?

The 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel is a weekly treatment designed to complement your current exfoliation routine although you would not use on the same day as your other leave-on exfoliants. This weekly peel can dramatically enhance the results you’re already getting from your Paula’s Choice exfoliants.

How do I add the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel into my routine?

Because this is a rinse-off exfoliant, you would apply after cleansing. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse. You can then follow with the rest of your routine, minus the exfoliant step.

Are “peels” safe for at-home use?

The term “peel” describes a wide range of different types and strengths of exfoliation. The 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel was formulated for home use. It’s a superficial peel that targets the uppermost layers of skin. Medium or deep peels work differently by affecting lower layers of skin and are designed for in-office application, monitoring, and removal by a skincare professional.

Why does the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel have a lavender hue?

This colour is from the ingredient clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea flower) which is also known as blue matcha. It has been shown to have a calming and soothing effect on skin. Its lavender tint joins with shimmer mineral pigment mica so you can see where the rinse-off exfoliant has been applied. Note: The colour on skin will vary based on skin tone.

When should I use the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel – morning or night?

You can use this peel morning or night although we find that most prefer evening use. 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.
For day, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater every day. When outdoors, wear protective clothing whenever possible, seek shade, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
