Discover a new skin texture thanks to a fruit acid peel that works with precision and gentleness. Its light, comfortable gel formula exfoliates in a controlled way, refines the skin's surface and visibly softens small irregularities, giving your face a purer, fresher and more even look without feeling harsh.
Benefits for your skin
- Gentle chemical exfoliation with AHAs for skin that feels visibly smoother.
- Refines pores and helps blur small imperfections and rough patches.
- Contributes to a more even tone, bringing radiance and clarity to the face.
- Quickly absorbed gel texture, no rinsing needed.
- Ideal as a treatment course to refine skin texture.
- Suitable for many skin types, from dry to oily, including combination and normal skin.
Texture and sensations
Its gel texture spreads easily and melts into the skin, leaving a feeling of instant freshness. A slight tingling during application is typical of AHA treatments and signals the exfoliating action of the fruit acids; the texture never feels heavy or occlusive.
How to use
We recommend using this peel as part of your evening routine, especially as a course over several weeks to optimise results.
- Apply to clean, completely dry skin on the face, neck and décolleté.
- Place 1–2 pipettes in the palm of your hand and spread with your fingertips, carefully avoiding the eye contour and lips.
- Leave on for about 10 minutes. No rinsing needed.
- Then apply your usual treatment cream.
- Use as often as recommended in the salon or by your professional, preferably as an intensive treatment.
While using products with AHAs, it is essential to apply a suitable sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days, to protect the renewed skin and preserve the results of the treatment.
Indications and skin type
This fruit acid peel is especially suited to those who want to smooth texture, refine skin grain and revitalise the face's radiance without a mechanical scrub. It is suitable for:
- Normal skin looking for extra radiance and evenness.
- Combination skin, whether oily or prone to dehydration (sicca).
- Oily skin that needs to refine pores and improve the skin's surface.
- Dry skin that tolerates AHAs well and wants gentle, controlled exfoliation.
Fruit acid technology
The formulation includes 5 % fruit acids (AHAs) selected for their efficacy and tolerance. Combining different molecules of fruit and lactic origin achieves a progressive peeling effect that helps stimulate cell renewal and smooth the skin's surface, while preserving the skin's comfort.
Key actives
Fruit acids (AHAs)
- Citric acid: Provides an exfoliating and refining action, helps smooth surface irregularities and has a brightening effect that helps improve the look of dull or uneven areas.
- Malic acid (liposomal): Acts as a progressive peel thanks to its liposomal encapsulation, being released onto the skin in a controlled way. It helps smooth the skin's surface and improve texture evenness.
- Lactic acid: Known for its good tolerance, it offers gentle exfoliation and a balancing, comforting effect on the skin, promoting a smoother, more even surface.
Other components of the formula
- Glycerin: A classic moisturising active that helps maintain the skin's hydration levels during the exfoliating treatment.
- Lecithin and tocopherol (vitamin E): A lipid-based, antioxidant complex that helps preserve the integrity of the skin barrier and protects against oxidative stress.
- Xanthan gum: Gives structure and stability to the gel, ensuring even, comfortable application.
Safety recommendations
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Do not apply to irritated or sensitised skin, or immediately after hair removal.
- While using the treatment, always protect your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
