Description
Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel is a rinse-off exfoliating peel from the Clear Start range, made for breakout-prone skin. It combines alpha hydroxy acids (lactic and mandelic acids) with salicylic acid and azelaic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells and excess oil.
Used once or twice a week, it helps skin look clearer and brighter, smooths rough texture and helps fade the look of post-breakout marks.

Good to know
