  • How to use

    Dispense a few drops and smooth over face and neck after cleansing and toning. Do not rinse.

    Start slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, always finish with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or above. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.

    Sun protection advice when using any AHA exfoliant: This product contains alpha hydroxy acids, ingredients that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater every day. When outdoors, wear protective clothing whenever possible, seek shade, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

    audrey faure - Incontournable !!!
    06/01/2021
    J'utilise ce produit depuis 2 semaines et je vois déjà une énorme différence sur mes tâches brunes, mon teint, et mes pores... en association avec le booster à la niacinamide que j'utilise depuis des mois, c'est le duo parfait pour avoir un teint parfait au naturel, vraiment si vous avez une peau comme la mienne, je vous le recommande chaudement, foncez!
    Seule ombre au tableau, ayant la peau sèche de base (sans desquamation mais des tiraillements) ce produit l'assèche encore plus. J'ai contacté la team Paula's choice pour renforcer l'hydratation car le booster huile ne suffit pas, je vais donc combiner avec la crème de nuit et la lotion skin recovery, j'ai hâte :)

  • Ingredients

    What are the key ingredients?

    Glycolic acid/AHA
    Can help shed dead skin cells to renew skin’s surface, visibly softening signs of ageing, particularly from sun damage. Can act as a water-binding agent.

    Peptides
    Portion(s) of amino acids, some have a remarkable skin-soothing effect, others can improve the appearance of wrinkles, loss of firmness, and help to soften the look of expression lines.

    Allantoin
    Occurs naturally in the body. It's a by-product of uric acid and considered an effective skin-soothing and skin-conditioning agent.

    Sunburn Alert: This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards. As with all cosmetics, avoid direct contact with the eyes.

  • FAQ

    Why did we choose to use a blend of AHAs?

    We wanted to create a product that harnessed the integrated power of multiple acids. The idea was to formulate a product with acids that have different molecular sizes and that each work a little differently on skin. Here’s a breakdown:

    • Glycolic Acid – penetrates skin rapidly and stimulates collagen production.
    • Lactic Acid – an exfoliant that also enhances skin hydration.
    • Malic Acid – promotes surface exfoliation and has some antioxidant properties.
    • Tartaric Acid – assists the exfoliation process. Also contributes to buffer the system to help maintain the pH

    Can it be mixed with other products for application?

    We recommend using this product alone after your toner.

    Is it suitable for those with rosacea-prone skin?

    In general, a BHA exfoliant is more suitable for rosacea-prone skin types than an AHA exfoliant because of its anti-inflammatory properties. However, this Resist Anti-Aging 10% AHA Exfoliant also contains 0.5% BHA (salicylic acid) and other beneficial anti-irritants to help soothe skin. So, if you have rosacea-prone skin and you want to boost your exfoliation this is a great option.

    This product contains lactic acid, can people with lactose intolerance use this product?

    It is safe to use this product if you are lactose intolerant because intolerance occurs within the digestive system (small intestine). Lactic acid absorbed by the skin should not affect the digestive system in anyway.
