Description
An exfoliating peel cream Histolab says “contains AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA that help maintain the peeling effect for a long time by reducing sebum and dead skin cells,” while also aiming to even skin tone and strengthen the skin barrier. This is the manufacturer's claim, not a guarantee we're making.
⚠ Contains AHA (glycolic, malic, tartaric acid), BHA (salicylic acid, capryloyl salicylic acid), PHA (gluconolactone) and Retinyl Palmitate (a vitamin A derivative) — exact percentages are not disclosed on the manufacturer page. Histolab's own safety notice states: “If cosmetic causes irritation or side effects for red rash, swellenness, or itching by exposure to sunlight during use, consult a pharmacist or doctor,” and “Do not use on skin areas with wounds and scars.” Given the retinyl palmitate content, also ask about pregnancy/nursing or existing retinoid use before recommending, and pair daytime use with sunscreen.
How to use
Apply a generous amount onto the face with gentle patting.
Skin type
