Penta Peel Multi-Actions

These peel pads combine mandelic, lactic, glycolic, phytic, and salicylic acids for a strong exfoliating effect. Due to the inclusion of salicylic acid and the overall potency of the formula, this product is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

✅ Includes hydrators and botanicals like sodium hyaluronate, sugar cane extract, citrus extracts, and blueberry extract — no concerns there.

⚠️ Multiple acids: Mandelic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid (via sugar cane), and salicylic acid. While AHAs can sometimes be used in pregnancy at low levels, this product is a multi-acid peel system designed for stronger resurfacing.

⚠️ Salicylic acid (BHA): Leave-on peels with salicylic acid raise caution, since systemic absorption can be higher than in rinse-off cleansers.

❌ Because of the strength and combination of exfoliating acids, these peel pads are not recommended in pregnancy by most dermatologists.

These peel pads are low risk for pore-clogging, since their main actives are exfoliating acids that help keep pores clear. Breakouts that appear early on are usually due to purging from increased turnover, not pore blockage.

✅ Exfoliating acids (mandelic, lactic, salicylic, phytic) actively prevent clogged pores by increasing cell turnover and dissolving buildup inside follicles.

✅ Hydration & soothing support (sodium hyaluronate, arginine, fruit extracts) balance the exfoliation and help reduce barrier stress.

⚠️ Alcohol denat. provides penetration and exfoliation boost. While it can cause dryness or irritation, it doesn’t clog pores. For oily/acne-prone skin, this may even feel clarifying.

⚠️ Essential caution: Exfoliating pads can trigger purging (temporary breakouts as congestion surfaces), which is not the same as comedogenic acne but may be confusing to users.

❌ No occlusive oils, waxes, or high-risk fatty alcohols.

This peel uses a multi-acid blend for powerful resurfacing. While effective for texture and radiance, it carries a higher chance of redness or peeling, especially for sensitive skin. Start slow, patch test, and always follow with sunscreen.

✅ Blend of exfoliating acids (mandelic, lactic, salicylic, phytic) gives a more balanced resurfacing effect than a single strong acid.

✅ Contains sodium hyaluronate and arginine to help offset dryness and support hydration.

⚠️ Multiple AHAs + BHA in one formula increases cumulative irritation potential, especially for sensitive or inexperienced users.

⚠️ Alcohol denat. high in the formula can amplify dryness and stinging.

⚠️ Fruit extracts (bilberry, sugarcane, orange, lemon, maple) add natural AHAs but also possible allergenicity.

❌ Not buffered with many soothing or calming agents—leans heavily on exfoliation.
