This peel contains fruit ingredients like açaí berry, noni fruit, grapefruit, and sweet pea to destroy free radicals, reduce inflammation, tone and tighten skin, and improve firmness and elasticity.

Drunk Elephant’s popular Babyfacial is like getting an in-spa treatment. It always leaves my skin feeling so tingly (in a good way) and refreshed.

You’ve no doubt seen this red exfoliating liquid doing the rounds on social media. It contains a high concentration of exfoliating AHAs and BHAs to unveil a brighter and more even-toned complexion. The formula is quite strong, so use occasionally and leave it on for no longer than 10 minutes.

NeoStrata’s glycolic peel system is unique in the way that you pour the entire bottle of solution onto the pads before using any of them. It’s an easy way to just pick one up for use later to quickly exfoliate after cleansing.
