Key actives
Product Summary
"AVCA - Pure Deep and Vitamin Mild Peeling Gel" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.50% - 1.15%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.05% - 0.20% and sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.35%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
This gommage type peeling gel helps remove dead skin cells with minimal irritation and maintain skin hydration after peeling.
Source: Yesstyle
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
A type of hyaluronic acid that works as an excellent moisturizer by attracting water into the upper layer of the skin. Is typically feels less sticky on the skin compared to the usual hyaluronic acid

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
This gommage type peeling gel helps remove dead skin cells with minimal irritation and maintain skin hydration after peeling.
Source: Yesstyle
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
