Peeling Éclat G20

This peel contains 20% glycolic acid, a professional-strength exfoliant. While low-level glycolic products are sometimes used in pregnancy, higher-strength peels like this are not generally recommended. Please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

✅ Very simple formula (water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide) with no added fragrance or sensitizers.

⚠️ Glycolic Acid (20%): This is a very high concentration, considered professional strength. While low-level glycolic acid (5–8%) is often considered low risk in pregnancy, 20% significantly increases the chance of absorption, irritation, and photosensitivity.

❌ Because of the strength, most dermatologists would recommend avoiding 20% glycolic peels in pregnancy.

This peel is very low risk for pore-clogging, since it contains only glycolic acid in a simple base. The main consideration is irritation from the high acid strength, not breakouts. For acne-prone skin, it may actually help clear pores and smooth texture.

✅ Glycolic Acid (20%): At this higher strength, it exfoliates more aggressively, helping keep pores clear and reducing the risk of comedone buildup.

✅ Minimal formula (water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide) means there are no added emollients, oils, or fatty alcohols that could clog pores.

⚠️ Irritation potential: While it won’t clog pores, the strong acid concentration can cause redness, dryness, and temporary purging. This is irritation-related, not pore blockage.

❌ No oils, waxes, or known pore-clogging ingredients are present.

This peel delivers intensive exfoliation with 20% glycolic acid. It’s best for experienced acid users seeking visible smoothing and brightening results. Because of the high concentration, irritation risk is significant—always patch test, follow instructions, and use sparingly.

✅ Ultra-simple formula: just water, glycolic acid, and ammonium hydroxide. No fragrance allergens or fillers.

⚠️ 20% glycolic acid is a high concentration, designed for advanced users or professional-level exfoliation. This significantly increases the chance of redness, stinging, and peeling.

⚠️ No soothing or hydrating ingredients are included to buffer the acid’s intensity.

❌ Not recommended for sensitive skin, rosacea, eczema, or compromised skin barriers — risk of irritation is high.

❌ Overuse may lead to barrier damage if not used cautiously and with proper aftercare (hydration + sunscreen).
