AHA Peeling Concentrate 30ml – Overnight 10% Lactic Acid Peel for Smooth & Glowing Skin

Dull, rough, or uneven skin is almost always a dead skin cell problem — the skin’s natural renewal cycle slows with age, stress, and environmental exposure, and the buildup of dead cells on the surface dulls radiance, clogs pores, and makes fine lines appear more pronounced. The BelleVie AHA Peeling Concentrate 30ml is a 10% lactic acid overnight exfoliant that dissolves that buildup while you sleep, revealing smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin by morning. One of the best gentle AHA exfoliants for dark spots, uneven tone, and dull skin — suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Formulated with 1% hyaluronic acid to hydrate as it exfoliates, sage extract for antibacterial pore-refining support, and white tea extract for powerful antioxidant protection — so skin feels refreshed and comfortable rather than tight or stripped. Gentler than glycolic acid. COSMOS Natural certified by ECOCERT, vegan, and EU-made.

What It Does

• Gently dissolves dead skin cells overnight for visibly smoother, clearer skin by morning
• Reduces the appearance of dark spots, dullness, uneven tone, and rough texture
• Promotes skin renewal and improves radiance with consistent use
• Hydrates as it exfoliates with 1% hyaluronic acid — no dryness or tightness
• Refines the appearance of pores with sage extract’s antibacterial action
• Protects against free radical damage with white tea extract antioxidants

Who It’s For

• Dull, rough, or uneven skin that needs regular exfoliation to restore radiance
• Skin with dark spots, visible pores, or minor surface imperfections
• Those seeking the best gentle chemical exfoliant as an alternative to physical scrubs
• All skin types — sensitive skin should start with once-weekly use and increase gradually
• Anyone wanting smoother, more radiant skin without the harshness of stronger acids

Key Ingredients

• Lactic Acid 10% (AHA) — an alpha-hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells to promote surface renewal, improve texture, and enhance radiance; gentler than glycolic acid and better tolerated by sensitive skin due to its larger molecular size and natural moisturising properties
• Hyaluronic Acid 1% — attracts and retains moisture during the exfoliation process, preventing the dryness and tightness that harsher peels can cause; leaves skin hydrated and comfortable after rinsing
• Sage Extract — an antibacterial and antioxidant botanical active that refines pores, supports clearer-looking skin, and provides additional protection against environmental stressors
• White Tea Extract — one of the most potent natural antioxidants; protects freshly exfoliated skin against free radical damage and supports a more even, radiant complexion with consistent use

How to Use

1. Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area and lips
2. Leave on overnight — do not rinse before sleeping
3. Rinse thoroughly in the morning, then apply the Hydrating Toner 200ml and moisturiser
4. Always follow with SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen the next morning — exfoliated skin is significantly more sensitive to UV damage
5. Start with 2 times per week; increase to 3 times per week as skin adjusts

Important: SPF the morning after AHA use is non-negotiable — freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV-induced damage and pigmentation. Skipping SPF after an AHA peel can cause the very dark spots and uneven tone you are trying to correct.

Complete the routine: Follow with the Ceramide Hydrating Night Cream 50ml on non-peel nights for overnight barrier repair, and the Moisturising Day Cream 50ml every morning after rinsing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lactic acid and glycolic acid?

Both are AHAs that exfoliate by dissolving dead skin cell bonds, but lactic acid has a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, meaning it penetrates more slowly and is better tolerated by sensitive skin. Lactic acid also has natural moisturising properties that glycolic acid lacks, making it less likely to cause dryness or irritation. For most skin types, lactic acid is the gentler and more comfortable starting point for chemical exfoliation.

Is this lactic acid exfoliant good for dark spots?

Yes — lactic acid promotes surface cell turnover, which gradually fades the appearance of dark spots and post-blemish marks with consistent use. For enhanced dark spot results, pair with the Vitamin C Serum 30ml in the morning — vitamin C and AHA exfoliation work synergistically for maximum brightening.

How often should I use this AHA peel?

Start with 2 times per week and increase to 3 times per week as your skin adjusts. If you experience redness, sensitivity, or excessive dryness, reduce frequency and allow the skin barrier to recover before resuming. Never use on consecutive nights when starting out.

Is SPF really necessary after using an AHA peel?

Yes — and this is not optional. AHA exfoliants remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving freshly renewed skin significantly more sensitive to UV radiation. Skipping SPF after an AHA peel can cause sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and the very dark spots you are trying to correct. Apply SPF every morning after using this product, regardless of weather or season.

Is BelleVie vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes — all BelleVie products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, COSMOS Natural certified by ECOCERT Greenlife, and formulated and manufactured in the EU to the highest cosmetic safety standards.
