Dermalogica Liquid Peelfoliant Face Exfoliator 2 fl oz — Glycolic AHA + Salicylic BHA for Smoother, Clearer Skin

Dermalogica Liquid Peelfoliant is a 2 fl oz daily chemical peel that uses a blend of AHAs, BHAs and PHAs to exfoliate, unclog pores and even skin tone without manual scrubbing.

Designed for acne-prone and texture‑concerned skin, this liquid peel combines glycolic and lactic acids with salicylic acid and gentle PHAs to dissolve dead skin, clear pore congestion and help reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. It’s formulated for short weekly applications to deliver chemical exfoliation benefits while minimizing mechanical irritation.

How does this peel improve texture and fade post-breakout marks?

The formula accelerates surface cell turnover with glycolic and lactic acids, helping rough patches and discoloration fade faster than with cleansing alone. PHAs offer additional gentle resurfacing for a more even appearance without excessive dryness.

• 10% blend of AHAs (glycolic + lactic) for resurfacing
• PHAs to gently smooth and support barrier comfort
• Regular weekly use promotes gradual tone correction

Will this help unclog pores and reduce breakouts?

Salicylic acid (a 2% BHA) penetrates oily pores to loosen trapped oil and debris, reducing the conditions that lead to blemishes. By combining pore‑clearing BHA with surface‑acting AHAs, the peel addresses both congestion and texture.

• 2% salicylic acid for deep pore exfoliation
• Helps remove excess oil and buildup that trigger breakouts
• Use 1–2 times weekly to support clearer skin over time

How do I use it safely in my routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin for a short, controlled exfoliation: leave on for 7–10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Limit to once or twice weekly at night and always follow daytime use with SPF to protect newly revealed skin.

• Apply to dry skin; do not mix with physical scrubs
• Leave on 7–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly
• Use sunscreen daily when integrating chemical exfoliants

How is this different from a physical scrub or everyday AHA toner?

This product is a focused, higher‑strength chemical peel meant for short applications rather than daily mild exfoliation. Unlike abrasive scrubs, it dissolves the bonds between dead cells chemically, reducing frictional irritation while delivering deeper resurfacing effects than a low‑strength toner.

• Targeted weekly treatment versus daily mild exfoliants
• Chemical action avoids mechanical abrasion and microtears
• Formulated to pair with a routine rather than replace cleansers or moisturizers

Who this is for: Dermalogica Liquid Peelfoliant is suited to people with oily or acne‑prone skin, anyone seeking to improve texture or post‑breakout discoloration, and users comfortable incorporating short, potent chemical peels into an established skincare routine. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, consult a skincare professional before use and introduce the product gradually.
