Meet the peeling solution that has broken the Internet. This product has become an instant sell out after going VIRAL on the video sharing app Tik Tok. People were stunned not only by the dirt cheap price, but also the blood red color (freaky, right?) At Ulta everyday we have at least 10 people asking for this product. Currently, you can only find it at online retailers (listed above). People are DYING to get their hands on this stuff. But, why is it so great? This peeling solution is made with 30% AHA and 2% BHA, which is ALOT. Many brands that offer an AHA + BHA peeling solution have no more than 10% of AHA in them and are usually TRIPLE the price. That's why this is so groundbreaking. There has never been something like this in the industry. This peel has a pH of 3.5-3.7. It is alcohol free, oil free, silicone free, gluten free, AND vegan. The AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) exfoliate the top layer of skin revealing a brighter, more youthful glow. The BHA (beta hydroxy acids) help to deep clean congested pores. The combination of these two active ingredients also helps to diminish texture, fine lines, and blemishes. It sounds like some big promises to make to consumers, but, this stuff WORKS. I have used it one to two times a week since buying it over a month ago and I have noticed some serious results. My skin looks more healthy and glowy and all my stubborn acne has vanished. I didn't think I would love this as much as I did, but it is seriously a skincare game changer! However, since I am recommedning this product, I also feel the need to share the risks and proper usage of this. This solution contains a VERY HIGH AMOUNT OF ACTIVE ACIDS. Please DO NOT use this if you have very senstive skin or have not used a peeling solution before. Just because it's popular on social media doesn't mean it's right for everybody's skin. SECOND, after using this stay out of the sun. The skin will be extremely sensitive after the peel and if you are out in the sun long enough it can damage the skin. THIRD, when first using this product, keep it on for no more than 5 minutes the first few times. Since this has such powerful ingredients, your skin needs to get accustomed to a new product. FOURTH, this stuff BURNS and yes that's normal. The burning sensation you may feel is the active ingredients going to work. I kind of like the tingling sensation becuase I know it's working. This product is also not for young skin. When you're young, your skin is still trying to figure things out (not to mention all those lovely hormones) so constantly trying new things and peeling it can be detrimental. This product however is PERFECT for those with aging, dull, or acne prone skin. Do not use this product more than twice a week because over using such a heavy solution can cause severe irriation and damage. I seriously love this product and HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone who can safely use it.
