Acerola Lactic Acid Gentle Peeling Serum

Description

What is the composition of the gentle facial peel?
Lactic acid is a good option for skin that has not tolerated glycolic acid. With its larger molecular size, it is used in gentle or so-called superficial peels, as it creates a controlled microexfoliation, only on the first layers of your epidermis. So, by acting more on the surface, it causes less irritation. This alpha hydroxy acid boosts desquamation of dead skin cells, unclogs pores and diminishes minor imperfections. Your face becomes smoother, more even-toned and brighter. Acerola extract, rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, gives Typology's gentle peeling serum anti-free radical properties that support your complexion's radiance.
How do I use Typology's lactic acid peel?
This serum can be used in the morning and/or evening, depending on your skin's physiological needs and your skincare routine. If your skin is fragile and reactive, test every other day first, then increase the frequency according to how you feel.
Here are the steps in a beauty routine for dull skin using Typology's lactic acid serum:
step 1 - cleansing the face with a mild cleanser ;
step 2- tone your skin with a niacinamide lotion that acts on blemishes and imperfections and strengthens your skin's barrier so that it can tolerate active ingredients such as fruit acids;
Step 3 - Spread 3 to 4 drops of your Typology serum over the face, avoiding the eye area;
step 4 - apply a hyaluronic acid or licorice moisturizer;
step 5 - finish with SPF 50 sun cream, as lactic acid sensitizes your skin to UV radiation, making it easier for sunburn to occur.
