Exfoliation is a game-changer step in your skincare routine that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin to reveal bright, glowing skin. Physical exfoliants use scrubs and special tools to help you exfoliate while chemical exfoliants already contain powerful yet gentle acids, such as AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs. When used correctly, these exfoliants can smooth and brighten your skin without irritation.
Peeling serums are one of the chemical exfoliants that are gentle yet effective. Lucky for you, Y.O.U Beauty just launched two peeling serums designed for different skin needs—one for beginners and one for intensive care. Which one is the right one for you?

6% Acid Renewal Peeling Serum
If you’re new to chemical exfoliants, Y.O.U Beauty’s 6% Acid Renewal Serum is the perfect starter serum. It contains a lower concentration of AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, which makes this a beginner-friendly peeling serum. Thanks to ingredients like Centella Asiatica and various plant extracts, it repairs your skin barrier and soothes the skin. Irritation would be the least of your worries.
Before introducing your skin to the gentle peeling serum, do a patch test behind your ear. Once you’re in the clear, apply every two days. Leave the product on for one to two minutes before you move on to your moisturizer or before rinsing off if you prefer. Gradually increase the frequency every week to build tolerance until you feel comfortable using it every day. It can be applied in the mornings, but always follow with sunscreen to protect your skin.
Once you’ve built tolerance or if your skin is already familiar with exfoliation, you’re ready to level up to a stronger formula.
12% Acid Intensive Peeling Serum
For those accustomed to exfoliants, the 12% Acid Intensive Serum provides stronger exfoliation power for smoother, brighter skin. Despite having a more potent formula, it also contains eight times more hyaluronic acid, keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized.
Like the previous serum, apply every two days to let your skin adjust. Leave it on for one to five minutes for your skin to absorb the product, and then rinse. Once your skin has built tolerance, continue to use the peeling serum two to three times a week to achieve the best results.
Ready, Set, Glow!
Exfoliation doesn’t have to be intimidating. With the right product and routine, you can achieve radiant, healthy skin without irritation with the Y.O.U Beauty Reeffect Boost Peeling Serums. Before you apply your serum, remember to patch test, start slow, and always follow up with sunscreen for skin protection. Happy exfoliating!
