Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial 50ml

The MECCA view

Traditional peels dehydrate the skin to attain the exfoliating effect. This can sometimes lead to dryness and irritation experienced with traditional chemical peels. The Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial is a next-generation sleeping peel that hydrates as it helps the skin attain its optimal level of exfoliation in 2-3 nights. It gives the effects of a professional facial overnight, with cumulative effects seen after the 2nd-3rd night. This potent microbiome-boosting formula encourages healthy rejuvenation overnight to reduce the appearance of imperfections and reveal brighter skin the following day. It also fades dullness, refines the appearance of pores, and hydrates stressed and problematic skin. Its active ingredients are encapsulated inside a supercharged gel made with Hyaluronic Acid, Yoghurt, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Panthenol, and Manuka Honey UMF 16+. This concentrated nutrient gel slowly releases the active acids and brighteners overnight. By simultaneously boosting hydration levels and exfoliating, it nourishes the skin more than traditional peels. This concentrated nutrient gel can be ‘reactivated’ anytime with a facial mist — the introduction of new moisture allows the Hyaluronic Acid to draw in and deliver hydration to the skin continuously.

Due to the Retinoid content, this formula is not recommended if pregnant/breastfeeding.

This brand is PETA-certified cruelty free.

Key ingredients

7% Glycolic + Lactic + Salicylic Acid: This blend of AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and Salicylic Acid gently sweeps away dead cells from the skin’s top layer, unclogging pores and reducing the appearance of blemishes and blackheads while hydrating and strengthening the skin’s barrier.

Hyaluronic Acid: A heavyweight hydrator and humectant that is extremely good at bonding with water molecules, making it a critical factor in retaining skin moisture.

Niacinamide: The active form of Niacin (also known as Vitamin B3 or Nicotinic Acid) is one of the more stable active ingredients in skincare, with a pH around neutral. Unlike Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Retinoids, it is non-acidic and non-irritating. Reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines, improves blemish marks, and fades uneven texture. It also improves skin barrier function and its ability to retain moisture.

1% Retinoid Complex: Retinoid is a general term used to describe Vitamin A, an ingredient that promotes skin renewal and enhances collagen production. It comes in many forms and strength percentages, including Retinal, Retinoic Acid or Retinyl Palmitate. Retinoid-based products increase cellular turnover and promote collagen production, helping to even out skin tone and smooth fine lines.
