ACIES — AHA Peeling Concentrate
Three actives. Nine ingredients in all.
Not sure it's right for your skin? Four questions — Daddy will tell you.
10% lactic acid, sage, white tea. Overnight only — wake up to smoother skin, no morning sting. Flesh, renewed.
Dead skin doesn't leave on its own schedule. It sits on the surface, dulls the light, blocks whatever you put on top, and makes every fine line read deeper than it is. ACIES clears it — once or twice a week, while you sleep.
Ten percent lactic acid, the gentler AHA, dissolves the bond between dead cells and the living skin underneath so they lift instead of scrub. One percent hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated and supple through the process, which is what separates a peel you can live with from one you can't. Organic sage and white tea for the antioxidant cover. Nine ingredients, no oil, nothing to buffer or rinse.
Evening only. Sun off the next day. Then watch what a serum can do on skin that's actually reachable.
What it does
- Removes dead skin cells and promotes renewal
- Brightens tired, dull skin
- Reduces the look of pigmentation spots and fine wrinkles
- Improves texture and helps clear blemishes
- Stays hydrated through exfoliation
What is in it
- Lactic acid
A mild AHA assist, keeps the finish smooth
- Hyaluronic acid
Humectant; pulls water into the upper layers and holds it there, so skin reads plump rather than merely damp. Used here at multiple molecular weights so it works at more than one depth.
- Sage
Organic sage leaf extract. The traditional reach for oily, blemish-prone skin — cooling, mildly antibacterial.
How to use
Evening, one to two times a week, on clean dry skin. Three or four drops across the face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on overnight; follow with PEPTIDE ONE and SURGE, then SOMNUS. Start once a week if skin is new to acids. Avoid direct sun exposure after use and always use sunscreen the next day. Don't combine with retinol-type products on the same night — alternate with RENOVO instead.
Once or twice a week, overnight, never more. Daddy has watched men decide that if twice is good, every night is better. Sunscreen the next morning, every time, no exceptions.
