SHANI DARDEN Triple Acid Peel 2-Step Exfoliating Travel Kit — 2 Peels, Mandelic/Lactic/Glycolic & Kaolin

SHANI DARDEN Triple Acid Peel is a two-step, travel-size facial treatment that exfoliates with mandelic, lactic and glycolic acids, then neutralizes and clears pores with a kaolin clay mask for smoother, brighter skin.

Designed by esthetician Shani Darden, this compact kit combines a concentrated acid solution and a clay-based neutralizing mask to deliver a professional-style peel at home or on the go. The two-step system first loosens and lifts dead skin cells and surface debris, then the kaolin-and-bentonite mask absorbs impurities and calms the skin. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens, silicones, or added fragrance.

How does the two-step peel work and what results should I expect?

The first step applies a blend of mandelic, lactic and glycolic acids to exfoliate and resurface the skin. After a brief exposure, the second step—the kaolin clay neutralizing mask—removes residue, draws out impurities and helps balance the skin’s surface. You should notice smoother texture and clearer-looking pores after a single use, with continued improvement over repeated treatments.

• Step 1: 1–2 minutes of acid exfoliation; do not rinse between steps.
• Step 2: Clay mask stays on for 10 minutes, then rinse off.
• Immediate smoothing and visible pore clarity after one application.
• Best results with occasional, controlled use per label instructions.

Is this peel safe for travel and beginner-friendly?

The kit is specifically sized for travel, containing two single-use treatments and a small brush for controlled application. The short contact time and included neutralizing mask make it approachable for first-time peel users, but patch-testing is recommended. Follow the directions carefully to minimize sensitivity.

• Travel-size 0.5 fl oz components fit carry-on and toiletry bags.
• Brush included for precise application and reduced product waste.
• Short, timed protocol (1–2 minutes acid, 10 minutes mask) limits overexposure.
• Patch test before full-face use to check sensitivity.

Which skin types can use the Triple Acid Peel and when should I avoid it?

The formulation is intended for a wide range of skin types seeking exfoliation and pore refinement; however, those with very sensitive, inflamed, or broken skin should avoid use until skin has healed. If you are using retinoids, strong actives, or have recent professional treatments, consult a skin professional before applying chemical peels. Always follow up with sun protection after exfoliating.

• Suitable for normal, combination, and oilier skin seeking resurfacing.
• Avoid on irritated, sunburned, or compromised skin.
• Space out with other active treatments (retinoids/acids) to reduce irritation risk.
• Use daily sunscreen after treatment to protect newly exposed skin.

How do I use the kit step-by-step for best results?

Begin with a clean, dry face. Apply the Triple Acid Solution evenly for 1–2 minutes, then immediately apply the Kaolin Clay Neutralizing Mask without rinsing. Massage the mask in, leave for 10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Finish with a gentle moisturizer and SPF during the day.

• Cleanse face and pat dry before starting.
• Apply acid solution for 1–2 minutes; do not rinse between steps.
• Apply mask, massage, wait 10 minutes, then rinse well.
• Moisturize and use sunscreen after treatment when exposed to sunlight.
