The Gentle Facial Peels To Smooth, Soften And Brighten Skin

by MOH SHUYING  /   September 27, 2017

There are few at-home beauty treatments that give you results as fast, or as obviously, as facial peels. They are probably the closest thing to a spa treatment without having to leave the comfort of your bathroom. Generally, peel help to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells to leave your complexion softer, smoother and more radiant. In some cases, peels can even help to minimise the appearance of pores and soften fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is that they can sometimes be too harsh on sensitive skin, resulting in redness, irritation and inflammation. To help prevent this, we’ve curated a list of gentle facial peels that are suitable for sensitive complexions so you can exfoliate at ease.

#2: Albion Infinesse Serum Peeling, $100

Used after cleansing, this wipe-off serum helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells away, leaving skin firm yet hydrated for a healthy glow. It also has the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory Resveratrol, Rosa Rugosa Flower extract to inhibit the actions of collagen- and elastin-degrading enzymes, as well as Royal Jelly Extract to boost circulation and cell metabolism.

#3: Algenist Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Bi-Phase Peel, $118, Sephora

This bi-phase formula includes the effectiveness of peeling acids with the nourishing benefits of Microalgae Oil. The water phase is infused with Alguronic Acid and anti-ageing peeling ingredients, such as Glycolic and Shikimic Acid to exfoliate and condition skin. The oil phase contains a high concentration of Microalgae Oil and powerful peeling and restorative ingredients such as salicylic acid and algae extracts to replenish and nourish the skin. Together, they leave you with a luminous, clear, younger-looking complexion.

#4: Laneige Clear C Peeling Mask, $30

This contains soft, natural strawberry seeds and konjac to gently exfoliate.
