It needs light concentrations (10%) to wake up the radiance and boost the cells of the dermis without aggressiveness.
You have normal, dry skin
A peel can be used to advantageously replace the weekly scrub.

In case of acne, it is better to seek advice from a dermatologist, as fruit acids cannot be combined with all treatments.
You have thin and sensitive skin
You need a low-dose product (4 to 8%) that you use once or twice a week at most.
You can also opt for a PHA treatment.
You have tired and dull skin
If the skin is not too sensitive, one can make cures of lotion or night cream, dosed from 8 to 15%.
You have mature, wrinkled, or blotchy skin
Studies have shown that applying AHA for 3 to 6 months helps reduce fine lines and brighten hyperpigmented areas.
What is the difference with the cosmetic peel?
The superficial peel, performed by a dermatologist, has a higher concentration of glycolic acid (20 to 70%). “There are 3 steps: after makeup removal, a preparatory lotion is applied, which lowers the skin’s pH, then the peel is applied with a brush for a few minutes, then neutralized”, describes Dr. Valérie Philippon, aesthetic doctor.
“This treatment is recommended when the skin is dull and loses its flexibility, for 4 sessions 2-3 weeks apart.” Around 150 € per session.
