Why Your Skin Needs It
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), like glycolic acid and lactic acid, exfoliate the surface of your skin to help brighten dull skin, smooth rough skin, and reduce the look of large pores. Regular use of AHAs adds up to a major increase in overall radiance and evened-out texture.
The Clinique Expertise
In advanced formulations, like Clarifying Do-Over Peel, dull cells can gently be swept away from your skin’s surface to reveal fresh, smooth, and healthy skin underneath.
Good To Know
If you have any concerns regarding how your skin will handle AHAs, start out using them every other day and work up to daily use.
