NEW clear start Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel 

Breakouts! The bane of our existence where we would do anything to clear them– right?  There are many myths about how to get rid of breakouts fast: picking and popping, stripping and drying. And most commonly, scrubbing them with scratchy physical exfoliants. Although these may seem tempting to try out, they, in fact, delay healing and cause more marking (hyperpigmentation) on the skin.

Chemical exfoliation: breakouts worst nightmare

A well-kept secret to clear breakouts is the use of chemical exfoliants. Don’t be afraid; chemical exfoliants are less harsh on the skin and offer multiple benefits in comparison to physical (scrubs) exfoliants.

To dive deeper into the world of chemical exfoliants…Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid, which you may have used before and is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and a staple in acne products, are all classified as chemical exfoliants.

Multiple benefits of chemical exfoliation

Chemical exfoliants are non-abrasive, meaning they don’t have to be worked over the skin to remove dead skin. They are simply smoothed over the skin and left to work their magic. Here are some key chemical exfoliants to address breakouts:

·        Salicylic Acid, the star performer for acne, loosens and eats dead skin cells – think the retro game Pac-Man! This clears away the rough texture, helping to unblock pores. It also has the ability to clear the pores by dissolving the blockages while reducing inflammation associated with those painful pimples, helping speed up the clearing of the existing pimples.

·        Lactic Acid melts into the skin and smoothes away dead skin buildup while simultaneously hydrating and plumping the skin to give a luminous glow. Watch the post-breakout marks fade away as the brightening action of Lactic Acid helps even skin tone.

·        Mandelic Acid, not as commonly known, but an expert at eliminating the breakout-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and smoothing away the rough build-up of skin, giving back the skin’s radiance.
