REVOLUTION SKINCARE Dry Skin Intense Peeling Solution
Works for
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A targeted mix of skin-sational chemicals that exfoliates skin and treats problems.”
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.

Product summary
"REVOLUTION SKINCARE - Dry Skin Intense Peeling Solution" is effective for: Exfoliation, Anti-inflammatory and Anti-blemish
Ingredient callouts
- Salicylic acid (1.25% - 2.50%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.
