Our new Skinstitut 10% Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel is like beauty sleep, bottled. It’s a clinically proven formula to help support cell turnover and woke-up-like-this radiance as you rest. More than just another Glycolic Acid toner or exfoliant, it is clinically proven to even skin tone. Sounding like a dream come true? Continue reading to learn how our latest Glycolic Acid launch can benefit your skin.
Our 10% Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel works to resurface, renew, and reveal the skin of your dreams. It starts delivering visible results after the first use, prompting improvements to your skin’s radiance and texture. With consistent use over four weeks, your skin appears noticeably smoother and more even, with a reduction in fine lines.
This Glycolic Acid peel formula goes beyond traditional liquid exfoliation by pairing 10% Glycolic Acid with barrier-supportive Ceramide Complex and Peptides. This combination helps to smooth and brighten the look of your complexion while also supporting a stronger skin barrier.
Who is it for?
This at-home peel is ideal if you’re targeting:
- Fine lines and visible ageing,
- Dull, lacklustre skin in need of radiance,
- Uneven skin tone or rough texture,
- Rough, dry or flaky patches.
It’s also perfect for skin maintenance between in-clinic treatments, like Cosmetic Grade Peels, Microdermabrasion, LED Light Therapy, Skin Needling, Laser Rejuvenation, and Hydrojelly™ Masks.
What’s in it?
10% Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel is made with evidence-backed actives to deliver clinic-grade results from the comfort of home. These key ingredients work to provide visible renewal for a fresher, more radiant-looking complexion by morning. With consistent use, they also help provide visible improvements to fine lines and the signs of chronological ageing.
10% Glycolic Acid: gold standard alpha hydroxy acid (AHA).
- Visibly improves skin tone, texture, and brightness,
- Visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles,
- Accelerates skin cell turnover for a renewed appearance.
Ceramide Complex: lipids naturally rich in fatty acids.
- Fortifies the skin barrier,
- Boosts hydration for plumper, smoother skin,
- Soothes and calms skin to support a healthy-looking complexion.
Peptides: chains of amino acids that can assist with structural support.
- Provides a skin-restorative, smoothing effect,
- Improves the appearance of wrinkles and elasticity,
- Softens the look of expression lines.
How do I use it?
As a high-performance at-home peel, our 10% Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel is stronger than a wash-off Glycolic Acid exfoliator, but less intensive than a clinical peel. It’s designed to be applied every second night for most skin types. Those with sensitive skin may need to build up more slowly, starting with once or twice per week to build tolerance.
Your evening routine
1. Gentle Cleanser, $52
2. 10% Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel, $69 (every second night)
3. Moisture Defence (Normal Skin, Oily Skin, or Ultra Dry Skin), $59, or Niacinamide Replenishing Cream, $89
4. Multi-Active Mist, $45
Since it’s an every-other-night formula, you can still use Retinol-based products. Just make sure you apply them on alternating evenings – not on the same night. It’s also important to apply (and reapply) sunscreen every day, as products with AHAs can increase sun sensitivity. Try our Face The Day SPF 50+, $56, for sun protection with a shine-free finish.
