Riversol Gentle 4% AHA Exfoliating Peel
$55.00
Instantly shed dullness, sweep away rough texture, and reveal a glowing complexion—without triggering the fiery redness or irritation of traditional acids. The Gentle 4% AHA Exfoliating Peel (formerly known as the Riversol Exfoliating Glycolic Peel) is a dermatologist-developed, skin-refining treatment uniquely engineered for hyper-sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin types. Rather than physically scratching or aggressively burning the skin surface, this lightweight, creamy leave-on mask quietly dissolves the microscopic bonds holding dead, dull surface cells together. It easily washes away to immediately soften fine lines, correct sun damage, and boost clarity, delivering professional-grade texturizing results with zero downtime.
Note to returning customers: This is the exact same iconic, high-performance formula you know and love from the original Exfoliating Glycolic Peel, now updated with a fresh look and clear name.
Why You’ll Love It
- Buffered 4% Glycolic Acid: A perfectly balanced concentration of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that delivers deep, effective cellular turnover and hydration while remaining exceptionally gentle on fragile skin barriers.
- The Anti-Inflammatory Buffer (Hinokitiol): Riversol's patented Pacific Red Cedar extract works directly to soothe vascular reactivity, neutralizing acid-induced flushing and irritation before it can start.
- Vitamin E Barrier Support: Infused with "The Protector" to shield raw, newly revealed skin cells from free radicals while deeply replenishing the surface moisture mantle.
- Versatile Multi-Area Formula: Safe and highly effective for use across structural sun-damaged areas including the face, neck, chest, and the backs of the hands.
Key Benefits
- Lifts Away Dullness Instantly: Sweeps away rough skin flakes and patchy discoloration to reveal a softer, smooth, and instantly radiant canvas.
- Smooths Fine & Crepey Lines: Plumps and refines surface contours, helping to minimize the appearance of shallow wrinkles and uneven texture.
- Will Not Cause Physical Peeling: Gently dissolves buildup over 20 minutes so it can be completely rinsed away—no harsh scrubbing or physical sheets required.
- Dermatologist Tested for High Tolerance: 100% soap-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those who previously found chemical exfoliants too harsh.
How to Use
- Wash your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser and pat completely dry.
- Smooth 4–5 pumps of the peel evenly across your face, neck, chest, or the backs of your hands, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Leave on for exactly 20 minutes. Note: A mild, temporary tingling sensation is completely normal and means the AHA is working.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Follow immediately with your choice of Riversol antioxidant serum and moisturizer.
- Use 1–2 times per week strictly in the evening. Important: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, and alternate nights if you also use a retinol treatment.
