The month of February has been one of discovery. New products trickling in kept my mind away from the sweltering, unrelenting heat that continues to suffocate (even now at the time of writing).
First up is Mild Peeling Lotion. It is from Hada Labo, a brand well known for its moisturising products.
Mild Peeling Lotion is the ideal product to introduce AHA's to my regimen. The AHA used in this lotion, Gluconic Acid, works as a mild exfoliant to slough away accumulated dead skin cells on the skin's surface. The benefits are twofold: an improvement in the absorption of nutrients while simultaneously restoring skin hydration, leaving skin smooth and supple.
I use it immediately after cleansing with a cotton pad. The consistency is on par with water... perhaps the slightest bit more viscous? It is nothing like the texture of the famed Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion.
It absorbs quickly and does not strip the skin of moisture. I am currently subscribed to a 'no night cream' school of thought and Mild Peeling Lotion has proved to be more than sufficient to soothe my skin. That said, if you have dry skin, you might want to follow up with a hydrating serum.
As with all Hada Labo products, this lotion is free from fragrance, alcohol, colorant and mineral oil - a boon for users who prefer to shun unnecessary ingredients in their skincare products. The blurb says for dull and oily acne prone skins but, in my opinion, all skin types will benefit from it.
A word of caution: it is advisable to load up on your sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product. AHA's may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn.
