Tested for you: Peeling for day and night

Peeling is part of every skincare routine, as nothing can cleanse the skin more deeply at home. This type of facial cleansing gently removes dead cells from the skin so that the complexion looks fresh and vital again. Peelings are now available for use during the day and also with an overnight effect. I have tried one of each of these deep cleansing products.

Peeling for the day: „Tri Active Glow Peel“ from Royal Fern Skincare

The skin-refining facial peel from Munich dermatologist Dr. Timm Golüke is based on a triple-action formula for maximum results. He says: ‘”I developed the Tri Active Glow Peel to provide a professional peeling effect at home.” It combines three types of exfoliation: chemical, enzymatic and mechanical.

The chemical peel is based on a potent blend of 12 percent AHA and PHA. It penetrates deeply to loosen dead skin cells, refine the texture and promote cell regeneration. The enzymatic peeling with fermented radish root enzymes gently dissolves impurities and leaves the skin looking clear and refreshed. The third is a mechanical peeling. Using ultra-fine bamboo powder, it polishes the complexion and ensures an instantly silky-smooth finish.

Peeling with triple power

I use the scrub once or twice a week and apply the pleasantly creamy texture to my face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area of course. After about three minutes, I start massaging in circular motions with damp hands, then rinse the scrub off thoroughly with lukewarm water.

The acids in the “Tri Active Glow Peel” immediately make my skin look fresher and more even. With regular use, the glycolic acid helps to lighten dark spots and inhibits pigmentation. Tartaric acid, a natural AHA, also contributes to a brighter complexion and promotes cell regeneration. It also helps to balance the skin’s pH value and improves moisture retention. It also has antioxidant properties.

Gluconolactones belong to the group of PHAs (polyhydroxy acids). Due to its molecular size, the acid can penetrate less deeply into the skin. Compared to other acids, it is gentler and therefore also suitable for sensitive skin to smooth the surface and remove dead cells. As acids are known to increase UV sensitivity, I make sure I spend less time in the sun. Sun protection is of course a must for me every day.

Peeling for the night: „63 Overnight Peeling Lotion“ from Maria Galland

The overnight product is ideal for those who want to make less effort when cleansing their face. This is because it is only applied and not washed off. The exfoliating lotion was specially developed for overnight use and gently removes all excess skin cells while supporting the protective barrier.

The peeling is suitable for daily use as it works with gentle PHAs (polyhydroxy acids). It also contains panthenol, which is known for its soothing properties. Vitamin B3 has a brightening effect, reduces age spots and smoothes fine lines.

Super-soft lotion

Before going to bed, I apply the colorless lotion, which truly deserves its name because it spreads so smoothly and supple, with a cotton pad on the already cleansed face. Avoid the eye area here too. I then leave the product to absorb for a few minutes before continuing with my usual evening routine. However, I have the feeling that I don’t really need another cream because the lotion already makes my skin feel so good.

For particularly sensitive skin, the manufacturer advises not to use the overnight peeling daily, but two to three times a week. Once the skin has got used to it after about a month, you can gradually increase the frequency of use.
