WITHME Pearl Bright Toning Peel 0.44 oz AHA & BHA Peel [K-Beauty] Remove Dead Skin Cells and Impurity with AHA & BHA, Brightening, Soothing Gel

This is a great peel for those that need gentle. My skin is not sensitive by birth, but it is currently due to my use of other products. At 33 I still struggle w/ mild adult acne that I keep under control w/ tretinoin. Usually this would need to be stopped 5-7 days before any type of aggressive trmt at hone or through an esthetician. Peels, microneedling, derma-planning, microdermabrasion, lasers, etc. I'm a licensed esthetician & along w/ other questions & always ask what topicals a client is using, especially Retin-A (generic tretinoin) or another vit A derived retinoid. They thin your skin by increasing cell turnover, so you do not have the build up of dead cell at the top stratum corneum layer of the epidermis that peels are targeted at removing. So, anyone using a strong retinoid, or even a high concentration of retinol, the weakest of the vit a derivatives, could end up w/ burns, irritation, peeling & possibly hyperpigmentation or scars. This peel though is so gentle that if used correctly the above issues are not a factor. I can use this peel every other week on my skin w/ no issue & no need to stop the tretinoin; though I would suggest stopping it for at least 2 nights before trying this for the 1st time on your own skin if you do happen to use a retinoid, AHA or BHA serum, just to be safe. You almost don't even get any tingling w\ this peel whatsoever, a common occurrence w/ almost any peel w/ AHAs & BHAs, even a itching to mild burny type feeling is normal. Just because those things are not present & it can be used w/ out as much caution as other peels doesn't mean it isn't effective. You are not going to see the results you'd see w/ a high % glycolic or salicylic acid peel you'd receive at your derm or esthetician's office, but it does work. Even while using tretinoin, I still notice a small dulling of my skin in areas I get a bit more dryness & areas I experience breakouts I stuffer from marks due to post inflammatory erythema & hyperpigmentation. Not fun :( This peel is just enough to remove the small build up of dead skin cells & help to lighten the marking. After using it at night (1x a week or every other week depending on my skin & the time of month (you skin can be more sensitive in the days before & during your period due to the drop in estrogen levels & the dominance of androgens like testosterone) I skip my tretinoin for that evening & apply a good night cream, something w/ Vit C, E, ferulic acid, or green tea & aloe is great at soothing any redness, inflammation but will hemp stimulate new collagen & elastin production & penetrate better on the freshly exfoliated skin. The next morn my skin always glows just a bit more that normal. The tube isn't big, but you don't need a lot & it spreads very well. If you don't use retinoids & you do not have sensitive skin & don't spend a lot of time in the sun, peel will make you more sensitive to burns & free radical damage, then you may want a stronger peel....something like The Ordinary's 30% AHA 2% BHA, but for anyone like me or w/ sensitivities this is just enough & works well.

It works

Didn't do anything, seen no results

I really love this Korean company! This product like all of their products works for sensitive skin. Simple but effective skin peel that can even be used by younger skin as a gentle peel after breakouts or to help clogged pores. Good for older skin that doesn't need the harshness of a major peel, just slight softening. My face glows and feels detoxed after use!

I feel like it doesn’t do anything.. *sad face*
