Plum 10% AHA + 5% PHA + 0.5% BHA Exfoliating Peel With Green Tea| Review

Exfoliation has emerged as the latest skincare craze, captivating both the industry and consumers alike. Terms such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids have taken the skincare world by storm, with customers eagerly seeking out these potent ingredients. The primary objective behind incorporating these skincare acids is to promote exfoliation, a process that effectively rids the skin of excess oil, impurities, and the accumulation of debris within the pores while stimulating the renewal of skin cells.

One of the most powerful ways to achieve this exfoliation is through the use of a chemical peel, which combines AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHA’s (Beta Hydroxy Acids). This dynamic combination proves highly effective in eliminating dead skin cells and unclogging pores. My excitement led me to try out a product I had been eagerly anticipating – the Plum 10% AHA + 5% PHA + 0.5% BHA Exfoliating Peel With Green Tea. Given my positive experiences with other Plum brand products, I couldn’t wait to put this one to the test! 😊

My opinion about the product: Plum’s Green Tea Exfoliating Peel boasts a powerful combination of skin-renewing ingredients, including 10% AHA, 5% PHA, and 0.5% BHA, all of which are exfoliating acids working on different skin layers. Together, they dissolve dead skin cells, reducing the need for physical scrubs and providing a deep cleanse by targeting oil and debris. This multi-layer exfoliation process leaves my skin feeling exceptionally soft and smooth. It also accelerates skin cell renewal, causing fresher skin to surface more quickly, leading to a reduction in hyperpigmentation.
