How does it work?

  • Visibly reduces fine lines

  • Reverses a compromised skin barrier

  • Renews skin below the surface for healthier cell turnover

6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant is a complex of gentle alpha hydroxy acids that resurface & shed built-up layers of dead skin. This unique formula visibly rejuvenates the skin’s ability to renew and disrupts discolouration without causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on deeper skin tones. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.0-4.0. Power up your AHA benefits with the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster, equipped with cutting-edge technology that targets key proteins in the skin's extracellular matrix for visible anti-ageing results in 15 minutes and lasting results after just 4 weeks. You can expect a remarkably healthier-looking appearance overall, dramatically diminished appearance of wrinkle depth & volume and reduced crow’s feet within 28 days. Over time, you'll see redefined facial contours for a lifted look, improved skin resiliency and supported tensile strength.

Start by using your exfoliant once every other day, and then increase usage to once or twice daily based on your skin’s response.Apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Apply a coin-sized amount over the entire face, including the eye area (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse.

Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster: Apply the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area after cleansing, toning and exfoliating.

FAQ

Most asked

Good to know before you start using exfoliants

If you are new to chemical exfoliants and/or have sensitive skin, it’s always best to gradually introduce this type of product into your routine. Start slowly, monitor your skin and adjust accordingly. During the day, always use a moisturiser with a broad-spectrum sun cream rated SPF 30 or greater. The perception of smell can vary greatly between individuals, so what one person notices, another may not notice at all. Many customers find that they quickly get used to the unique scents of Paula's Choice products and that the benefits outweigh any potential drawbacks.

How is the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant different from other Paula’s Choice AHA exfoliants?

While Paula’s Choice AHA exfoliants each deliver amazing results with their own distinctive qualities, this formula is our first water-light, ultra-gentle AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) liquid that goes beyond surface exfoliation to deliver an array of benefits, including skin renewal and improved skin barrier function. This is due to our unique combination of mandelic and lactic acid plus yarrow extract and a fermented blend of antioxidant plant extracts. This lightweight, leave-on exfoliant provides skin with an advanced combination of ingredients that softens rough skin, brightens a dull complexion and nourishes the skin’s microbiome for healthier, more fortified skin.

Why did Paula’s Choice develop the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant?

With the success of our other exfoliants, we saw an opportunity to expand our AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) collection which to date has relied heavily on the use of glycolic acid. We also wanted to go beyond AHA’s primary benefits of surface exfoliation to offer a product that delivers skin renewal and microbiome benefits. This formula is our first liquid AHA and one of the gentlest exfoliants we offer.

Why did Paula’s Choice choose to use two forms of AHA in this formula?

We chose larger-molecule mandelic acid and time-released lactic acid in this formula because of their ability to gently revive the skin’s natural shedding process while also supporting the skin’s barrier and microbiome. Each provides a slow and gentle penetration into the skin while strengthening the skin’s barrier and supporting ceramide production (a key component to strong, healthy skin).

Can I layer the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant with Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliants?

Using both the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant and a Paula’s Choice BHA (beta hydroxy acid) in your routine can target skin concerns like sun damage, deep wrinkles, clogged pores, bumps and dull, flaky skin even faster. Many prefer alternating these exfoliants to address their specific needs, but everyone’s skin is different. For additional information how to use multiple exfoliants in your routine, please contact our customer care team.

Are there ingredients or products I should avoid using with SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant?

No, the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant contains an array of skin-beneficial ingredients that play nicely with all other products and ingredients. In fact, this product (along with all Paula’s Choice exfoliants) can help improve the absorption of other skincare products by helping to remove the built-up outer layer of dry, dead skin to allow serums, moisturisers and other treatments to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Is the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant good for first-time AHA users?

Most will find that they can use this ultra-gentle exfoliant daily – even if new to AHAs. The unique combination of synthetic mandelic acid, time-released lactic acid plus a wealth of skin-friendly fermented and soothing micronutrients makes it a great option for first-time users or those who’ve been sensitive to other AHA products in the past.

If you are new to chemical exfoliants and/or have sensitive skin, it’s always best to gradually introduce this type of product into your routine. Start slowly, monitor your skin and adjust accordingly. During the day, always use a moisturiser with a broad-spectrum sun cream rated SPF 30 or greater.

Is SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant suitable for those with rosacea-prone and/or sensitive skin?

Yes, the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant is considered our most gentle AHA. It’s formulated with antioxidants and soothing ingredients which is even suitable for those with symptoms of rosacea such as redness, sensitivity and skin that feels dry, tight or uncomfortable. We recommend starting slowly, monitoring your skin and adjusting accordingly. During the day, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins including collagen, elastin and keratin. Each peptide plays a key role in the skin’s texture and strength.

How does the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster work?

In their natural form, peptides can be unstable. That's why we opted for highly stabilised lab-engineered peptides in our Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster. These 'synthetic' peptides can penetrate the upper layers of the skin and 'activate' areas that help visibly improve tone, hydration, a feeling of suppleness and a smoother surface.

How does the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster work to visually improve lines and wrinkles in just 15 minutes?

A particularly innovative peptide in this formula, tridecapeptide-1, works by interrupting a key step within the skin that leads to the formation of expression lines. With this process sidestepped, facial lines and wrinkles begin to smooth out and the skin looks younger and less fatigued.

Can I use the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

It’s not a problem to use the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster if you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. In fact, its fragrance-free formula contains potent skin-soothing and skin-replenishing antioxidants that help to calm the skin.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my skin when using the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster?

With the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster, you'll notice smoother expression lines & wrinkles in 15 minutes with these results lasting up to 4 hours. After 4 weeks of consistent use, you'll notice a reduction in depth & volume in the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.
