The Shortcut Overnight Peel

WHY WE LOVE IT:

This peel works overnight while you’re far away in dreamland to resurface and renew your complexion. The blend of lactic and glycolic acid (which work together to break down dead skin cells) and vitamin A (one of the most powerful and proven anti-aging ingredients available) exfoliates, brightens, and hydrates while skin-conditioning allantoin, rosehip, and vitamin E keep skin calm. It’s pH-balanced, non-drying, and non-irritating—basically it’s a non-scary peel that won’t leave you red or flaky (just bright and refreshed). It’s even gentle enough to use on back-to-back nights, and it absorbs into your skin just like a lotion, residue-free so your pillows are safe too.

HOW TO USE:

After your nighttime routine, smooth a thin layer onto clean skin; leave on overnight. Cleanse in the AM, per usual. Use 1-3 nights a week. Use alone or, if you're particularly dry, after a lightweight, water-based hydrating serum.

When you cleanse in the AM use a washcloth, konjac sponge, cleansing brush, or gentle exfoliator to slough off the dead skin cells the acids lifted.
