“Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel and Reveal Pads”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient hexylresorcinol might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Evens skin toneHexylresorcinol, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract + 1 moreNot delivered
“Glycolic Acid also helps to minimise the appearance of pigmentation and other skin imperfections for a refined, more even complexion.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, hexylresorcinol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel and Reveal Pads”
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.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Panthenol, Ethylhexyl palmitate + 14 moreWorks well
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Hexylresorcinol, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
