Moon Juice Acid Potion Liquid Exfoliant 25% AHA+BHA — 3.3 fl oz with Reishi & Niacinamide, Hydrating

Moon Juice Acid Potion is a 25% AHA + BHA liquid exfoliant formulated with glycolic, lactic, salicylic acids, plus reishi and niacinamide to resurface skin, clear pores, and hydrate without undue irritation.

This lightweight, rinse-free exfoliating treatment delivers a concentrated blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids to lift dead skin cells and refine texture while adaptogenic reishi and niacinamide help support barrier comfort and hydration. Designed as an alternative to scrubs and abrasive cleansers, Acid Potion targets congestion and dullness with a formulation that is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, PEGs, and silicones. Use it as part of a nighttime routine or on alternating days depending on your skin’s tolerance.

How does Acid Potion refine rough texture and brighten skin?

The 25% AHA + BHA complex combines glycolic and lactic acids with salicylic acid to chemically loosen bonds between dead skin cells and clear follicles. This encourages smoother surface texture and more even-looking skin tone over repeated use without mechanical abrasion.

• Glycolic acid helps dissolve surface dead cells and promote subtle surface renewal.
• Lactic acid hydrates while gently exfoliating for less dryness.
• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to help clear congestion and reduce buildup.
• Liquid format spreads easily for uniform coverage across the face.

Will this product irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

Acid Potion includes niacinamide and reishi mushroom extract to soothe and support the skin’s barrier, reducing the irritation sometimes associated with strong acids. However, because of the high acid concentration, a patch test and gradual introduction are recommended for sensitive skin types.

• Niacinamide helps calm redness and maintain barrier resilience.
• Reishi is an adaptogen that contributes calming, balancing properties.
• Start with once or twice weekly use and increase slowly if tolerated.
• Avoid combining with other strong actives initially (retinoids, other acids).

How should I use Acid Potion in my skincare routine?

Apply Acid Potion to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before heavier serums or creams. It can be used in the evening; always follow with hydration and daily sun protection during daytime use to protect renewed skin.

• Cleanse and gently pat skin dry.
• Apply a few drops distributed across face and neck; avoid eye area.
• Layer a hydrating serum or moisturizer to restore moisture and barrier function.
• Use SPF daily on mornings following use to protect newly exfoliated skin.

What skincare products pair well with this exfoliant?

Because Acid Potion is potent, pair it with hydrating, barrier-supporting products rather than additional exfoliants. Moon Juice recommends following with a plumping jelly or nourishing cream to lock in moisture and comfort the skin after treatment.

• Hydrating serums with humectants (hyaluronic acid, glycerin) to replenish water.
• Barrier-repair creams rich in ceramides or fatty acids for overnight recovery.
• Gentle cleansers and minimal actives on alternating nights to avoid overlap.
• Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect exfoliated skin from UV exposure.

Who is this for: Acid Potion is aimed at adults who want a strong at-home chemical exfoliant to address dullness, uneven texture, and pore congestion while maintaining hydration. It suits those comfortable introducing high-concentration acids into their routine and who will follow sun-protection and gradual-use guidance. If you have very reactive or barrier-compromised skin, consult a skincare professional or perform a patch test before regular use.
