The Allies of Skin "Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial" is a complete game changer! The unique combination of exfoliating ingredients within a gel of hydrating ingredients allows for a slow-release, overnight exfoliation that also improves my skin’s hydration by the morning. I love how smooth and plump my skin feels after even just one use. Exfoliating acids, such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid are extremely effective at improving skin texture and the appearance of discoloration, however, they can often be irritating and drying when used alone. What makes the "Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial" so unique is the combination of these traditionally irritating ingredients within a soothing gel of hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, allantoin, panthenol, and Manuka Honey. This allows for an effective, but also hydrating, exfoliation.

This formula has a combination of AHAs and BHAs, so if you have oily and/or acne-prone skin, it's great for decreasing oil production and unclogging pores. It also has Retinoids and typically, when combined with acids, it can be irritating, but this one isn’t at all. When I wake up after using it the next morning, my skin feels hydrated. The formulation makes it very tolerable for skin, and you can even use it if you have dryer skin; for that, I would recommend using it only 2 nights per week.

I like to call this my ‘Long Weekend Peel’. Its unique hydrating + exfoliating + brightening properties give your skin such a glow, you’ll look like you’ve had a long-rested weekend.
