The bottle in question has been given the name Peeling Solution and contains a mix of ingredients that should give your skin a boost. The concrete composition? Thirty percent alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid / lactic acid / tartar / citric acid), two percent beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), hyaluronic acid cross polymer, vitamin B5, black carrot and Tasmanian perperberry.

How to use?

You apply the blood-red substance to your face like a mask, leave it on for a maximum of ten minutes and rinse your face thoroughly afterwards. Do this once or twice a week, preferably in the evening (this will allow the ingredients to be absorbed quietly) and after a few weeks your skin should look less dull. The agent also promises to target dark spots and uneven skin texture and remove dead skin.

According to many (brand-independent) beauty fans, those promises are fulfilled, as they prove with before and after videos on TikTok and co. One of them is Kaelyn White. The woman shows with several photos in a compilation video, which has been liked more than 600,000 times, how the traces of her acne have faded. It is also no secret that reality star Kim Kardashian is a fan of the brand.

What does the dermatologist say?

“This product offers nothing new under the sun: the formula is very classic,” says Thomas Maselis. “It is basically a light fruit acid peel, which will indeed have some positive impact on minor acne and small pimples. Allow two months before you notice the effect. Don’t smear it where your skin is naturally dry, as this will increase the risk of irritation. Especially now that winter is coming and the air is also drier, the peeling can be more aggressive. This is really a remedy for people with oily skin. ” The expert adds that the product will cause a mild inflammatory reaction, which can give a rejuvenating effect after a while. “It will help a little, but don’t expect miracles,” he says.

In addition to this hyper-popular serum, which can be purchased at Bijenkorf.be for € 7.95 (30 ml) after replenishment of the stock, yet another brand is currently causing a stir among the young generation. CeraVe, a dermatologically tested L’Oréal product line that has existed for fifteen years, is experiencing a moment of glory thanks to an enthusiastic TikTok user with many followers. Especially the cleansing lotion with salicylic acid is praised.
