“AHA + BHA Mild Peeling Lotion”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconic acid.
Evens skin toneGluconic acid, Tranexamic acidWorks well
“What it is Exfoliator with 7 ingredients Cool Features It is vegan, fungal acne (malassezia) safe, and reef safe Suited For It has ingredients that are good for dry skin, scar healing and dark spots Free From It doesn't contain any harsh alcohols, common allergens, fragrances, oils, parabens, silicones or sulfates”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconic acid, tranexamic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Gluconic acidWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (gluconic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit · Gluconic acidWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Gluconic acidMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains gluconic acid.
