My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Radiance Protocol The Peeling Mask Lierac is primarily intended for skin in need of radiance, with a dull complexion, uneven texture, or early signs of aging. This mask targets loss of luminosity, enlarged pores, and fine lines through chemical and enzymatic exfoliation. In my expert opinion, Lierac's formula is designed to give you «new skin» while maintaining your skin's balance, making it suitable for normal to combination skin, but it should be used with caution on sensitive skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this mask:

• Glycolic acid (AHA) This exfoliating acid promotes cell renewal by removing dead cells from the skin's surface. It refines skin texture, reduces dark spots, and stimulates collagen production.
• Papain : An enzyme derived from papaya, it complements the action of glycolic acid with gentle exfoliation, ideal for smoothing the skin without excessive irritation.
• Bisabolol : A soothing plant-based active ingredient, it reduces the risk of irritation associated with exfoliation, making the formula more tolerable.

The presence of squalane and shea butter helps maintain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier, which is beneficial in limiting post-peel discomfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this mask once or twice a week, preferably in the evening, to clean, dry skin. I recommend avoiding combining it with other exfoliating active ingredients (retinol, pure vitamin C, other AHAs/BHAs) in the same routine to limit the risk of irritation. After rinsing, it is essential to apply a moisturizer and, the next day, high SPF sunscreen.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Lierac mask provides effective, gradual exfoliation, ideal for reviving the complexion's radiance. Its creamy texture and pleasant fragrance make it a delightful sensory experience. However, the presence of fragrance and allergens may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. My opinion: an excellent choice for boosting radiance, provided that the precautions for use are followed.
