Fruit acid peels: the secret to radiant, even skin

At Oh My Cream, the fruit acid peel is a must-have on our shelves to reveal a luminous, radiant complexion. Thanks to its formula rich in natural AHAs, such asglycolic acid, it refines skin texture, tightens pores and smoothes skin, all without creating discomfort or sensitivity. This gentle, expert exfoliation promotes optimal cell renewal, for radiant, even and visibly revitalized skin.

What is a fruit acid peel?

A fruit acid peel is a gentle exfoliating treatment formulated withAHAs, mainly derived from fruit or sugar cane, such asglycolic acid or lactic acid, renowned for their ability to stimulate cell renewal. Its main action is toremove dead cells from the skin's surface, revealing a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Thanks to progressive exfoliation, this superficial peel works gently on even the most sensitive skin. Unlike mechanical scrubs, there's no abrasive action: fruit acids naturally stimulate cell renewal and promote skin desquamation, for visibly smoother, more radiant skin.

Why choose a fruit acid peel?

Fruit acid peels deliver visible results from the very first application. Used regularly, it refines skin texture, illuminates the complexion and improves its uniformity. 

At Oh My Cream, we recommend the integration ofglycolic acid-based skin care products to boost skin luminosity and reduce the appearance of minor imperfections. AHAs also help to smooth superficial lines and wrinkles, while gently fading pigmentation spots and residualblemish marks.

What does chemical exfoliation target?

Chemical exfoliation with a fruit acid peel targets different concerns:

• Removes dead cells to prevent irregularities and smooth skin texture

• Natural stimulation of cell renewal

• Visible reduction of imperfections such as pigmentation spots

• Improved overall radiance for a luminous complexion and immediate healthy glow

This expert treatment is particularly beneficial for dull, blotchy or congested complexions.

How does a glycolic acid superficial peel work?

Glycolic acid is one of the key ingredients in fruit acid peels, thanks to its molecular finesse and ability to effectively penetrate the epidermis. It gently dissolves the bonds that bind dead cells together, facilitating their removal without disrupting the skin barrier.

Over time, regular use not only optimizes the appearance of the skin's surface, but also decongests pores and smoothes skin texture. It's an ideal solution for those who want to enhance the effectiveness of their other skincare products through better active absorption.

What results can I expect from a fruit acid peel?

From the very first applications, the complexion gains in radiance and evenness, while the skin appears more supple and less prone to irregularities such as blackheads or thickened areas.

Regularly incorporated into your routine, this treatment reinforces its benefits:

• Enhanced facial radiance

• Visible reduction in blemishes and pigment spots

• Reduces the appearance of superficial lines and wrinkles

• Improved skin texture for a more even complexion

How often should you use it?

At Oh My Cream, we recommend using the fruit acid peel once or twice a week, depending on your skin's tolerance and your specific needs. There's no need to overdo it: regularity is more important than frequency for visible , long-lasting results.

It's best to perform this treatment in the evening, to give the skin time to regenerate and avoid direct sun exposure, as the action of AHAs temporarily makes the skin more sensitive. Of course, don't forget to apply SPF the next morning to protect your skin. 

Which areas are particularly suitable?

While fruit acid peels are primarily used on the face, they can also be applied to other areas of the body prone to roughness orhyperpigmentation, such as the back of the hands or the décolleté.

This skin care product is invaluable after the summer to revive radiance, even out the complexion and treat the notorious brown spots caused by prolonged exposure.

How can I incorporate a fruit acid peel into my routine?

To reap the full benefits of a fruit acid peel, it's important to integrate it harmoniously into your routine. The idea is to care for your skin after exfoliation, supporting its repair and limiting any risk of irritation for a few days.

We recommend :

• Thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove all traces of make-up and impurities, using a double cleansing routine starting with a balm or cleansing oil and followed by a facial cleanser. 

• Apply the peel to dry skin, avoiding the eye contour area. 

• Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.           

• Generously moisturize your skin with a soothing serum and a rich cream            

What other treatments should I combine with a peel?

To respect the skin's balance, it's best to avoid immediately combining other powerful exfoliants or retinoids just after a fruit acid peel. Instead, opt for gentle, repairing and nourishing formulas to care for your newly exfoliated skin.

Over the weeks, combine a peeling treatment such as Alaena's or the Madara mask mask with antioxidant orradiance-boosting skincare optimizes the desired "fresh look" effect and maintains auniform complexion over time.

What should you do after exfoliation?

For 24 to 48 hours after application, we recommend limiting direct exposure to the sun and applying appropriate SPF protection. Although the fruit acid peel is gentle, the skin remains more sensitive and requires special attention.

Regular moisturizing with soothing skin care products helps prevent tightness.

Is a fruit acid peel suitable for all skin types?

Most skin types can benefit from a fruit acid peel. Even sensitive skin can now find formulas that combine effectiveness and gentleness, fully respecting the skin's hydrolipidic film.

At Oh My Cream, we always recommend starting with a small test on a limited area before the first full application. And if you have any questions or observe an unusual reaction, our beauty experts are on hand to guide you, in-store or by e-mail at contact@ohmycream.com.
