Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel Serum — 1.02 oz Lactic & Glycolic Acid with Hyaluronic + Niacinamide for Brightening & Texture

Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel is a daily/weekly brightening serum that combines glycolic and lactic acids with peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and botanical antioxidants to smooth texture and help correct discoloration.

This exfoliating peel blends plant-derived and lab-backed actives to accelerate cell turnover and hydrate at the same time. Instead of a harsh scrub, the formula relies on alpha hydroxy acids to lift away dead surface cells while supporting the skin barrier with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Antioxidants like goji berry and Gigawhite help target uneven tone and provide a natural complement to the acids and peptides in the bottle.

How will this serum change my skin texture?

The combination of glycolic and lactic acids gently dissolves bonds between dead skin cells, revealing a smoother surface and more even-feeling skin. Regular, appropriate use can reduce rough patches and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores without physical abrasion.

• Glycolic acid promotes faster exfoliation for refined texture.
• Lactic acid offers milder exfoliation plus hydration.
• Niacinamide helps improve pore appearance and resilience.
• Hyaluronic acid and ceramides replenish moisture during exfoliation.

Can this product help with dark spots and uneven tone?

The formulation pairs AHAs with antioxidant and brightening actives to address visible discoloration over time. By increasing cell turnover and supporting skin health, the peel can help reveal fresher skin and reduce the look of lingering pigmentation when used as part of a consistent routine.

• Alpha hydroxy acids encourage removal of pigmented surface cells.
• Gigawhite and goji berry provide plant-based brightening antioxidants.
• Niacinamide supports an even complexion and barrier repair.
• Use with sun protection to prevent new discoloration.

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

The peel balances stronger AHAs with soothing, hydrating ingredients to reduce irritation risk, but sensitivity varies by person. If you have reactive skin, start with less frequent application and patch-test; the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vitamin E aims to maintain hydration and comfort.

• Lactic acid provides gentler exfoliation than stronger acids alone.
• Hyaluronic acid and ceramides help retain moisture during exfoliation.
• Vitamin E and botanical antioxidants soothe and protect the surface.
• Begin with once or twice weekly use and increase as tolerated.

How does the serum support anti-aging goals?

The formula combines peptide technology with vitamin-rich botanicals to help the skin look firmer and smoother. While AHAs promote surface renewal, peptides like Matrixyl Synthe’6 and nutrient-dense goji berry work to visibly soften the look of fine lines over repeated use.

• Matrixyl peptides support the appearance of reduced fine lines.
• Goji berry and vitamin C–rich actives add antioxidant support.
• Exfoliation improves product absorption for serums and moisturizers used afterward.
• Consistent use helps maintain a more polished, even-looking complexion.

Who is this for: Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel is designed for anyone seeking a chemical exfoliant that also hydrates and targets discoloration—suitable for people wanting smoother texture, diminished pigmentation, or a boost to anti-aging routines. It appeals to users who prefer formulations combining botanical antioxidants and modern actives, and who will pair the peel with daily sun protection and gradual introduction if they have sensitive skin. The product is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated to bring together gentle plant-based support with scientifically recognized exfoliants.
