ANUA Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel 120ML

Description

The ANUA Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel is a gentle yet effective exfoliating product designed to remove dead skin cells and impurities, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. Unlike harsh physical exfoliants or stronger chemical exfoliants, it utilizes the power of LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) for a mild and hydrating exfoliation experience, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits:

• LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): This is a fourth-generation hydroxy acid, a derivative of Salicylic Acid (BHA). LHA is known for its larger molecular size, which means it penetrates the skin more slowly and gently. It’s lipophilic (oil-loving), allowing it to effectively dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells within the pores, making it excellent for managing breakouts, blackheads, and uneven texture without causing irritation.
• Heartleaf Extract (Houttuynia Cordata Extract – typically 10,000ppm): A signature ingredient for ANUA, Heartleaf is celebrated for its powerful soothing, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. It helps to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and protect the skin from environmental stressors.
• Cellulose: This is a natural polymer that, when massaged onto the skin, gently clumps together with dead skin cells and impurities, forming visible “pills” that can be rinsed away. This provides a satisfying physical exfoliation without abrasive particles.
• BioDtox (A blend including Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract, Broccoli Extract, and Bioflavonoids): This complex provides antioxidant benefits, helping to detoxify the skin and protect it from free radical damage. It also assists in clearing pores and refining skin texture.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Included for its hydrating properties, it helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, ensuring that the exfoliation process doesn’t leave the skin feeling dry or stripped.
• Allantoin: A soothing and healing ingredient that helps calm skin irritation and promote cell regeneration.

Key Benefits:

• Gentle Exfoliation: Effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities using LHA and natural cellulose, without harsh scrubbing or irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
• Pore Care: LHA helps to cleanse deep within the pores, reducing the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and congested skin.
• Smoother Skin Texture: Regular use leads to a softer, smoother, and more refined skin surface.
• Brighter Complexion: By sloughing off dulling dead skin, it helps reveal a brighter, more radiant skin tone.
• Gel Texture: It has a soft, moisturizing gel-like texture that glides easily onto the skin.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing your face, ensure your skin is dry (some prefer slightly damp, but dry is often recommended for maximum “pilling” effect).
2. Dispense an appropriate amount of the gel onto your fingertips.
3. Gently massage the peeling gel onto your face in circular motions for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, avoiding the eye and lip areas. You’ll likely see small “pills” forming, which are the cellulose mixed with dead skin cells.
4. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Follow with your regular toner, serum, and moisturizer.
