Dealing with stubborn clogged pores, rough texture, or dullness from Mauritius' heat and humidity can be frustrating. This is an intense at-home chemical peel designed for dramatic results.

• What it is: A powerful rinse-off exfoliating solution with 17% Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA).
• What it does: Lifts away dead skin cells, deeply cleanses pores, smooths rough texture, and restores radiance for a "glass skin" effect. Its striking red color comes from natural fruit and vegetable extracts.
• Who it's for: Experienced acid users with normal, combination, or oily skin. Not recommended for beginners, highly sensitive skin, or those with a compromised skin barrier.

1. PM Cleanser: Wash face thoroughly and pat completely dry.
2. THIS PRODUCT (1 min max): Apply a thin layer, wait 60 seconds, and rinse off with lukewarm water.
3. Moisturiser: Follow with a soothing, hydrating cream to support your skin barrier.

Note: Already own a similar weekly peel? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

This product is for PM use ONLY due to its high acid concentration and potential for photosensitivity.

Your AM routine on the day after using this peel should focus on hydration and strict sun protection. A gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum, a simple moisturiser, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30+ are non-negotiable.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double-cleanse to remove all sunscreen and impurities → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] (on dry skin, max 1 minute, rinse thoroughly) → 3) Soothing Moisturiser (to calm and hydrate).
• Important: On the night you use this peel, DO NOT use any other strong actives like retinoids, other exfoliants (scrubs, pads, other acids), or high-concentration Vitamin C serums.
• Texture rule: After rinsing this peel off, apply your watery hydrating layers (toner/essence) before heavier serums and creams.

Weekly Use — PM ONLY:

• Amount: Use the dropper to apply a few drops, enough for a thin, even layer across the face.
• Apply to: A clean, completely dry face. Avoid the immediate eye area, lips, and any broken or irritated skin.
• Method: Spread quickly and evenly. A tingling or prickling sensation is normal.
• Wait Time: Leave on for no longer than 60 seconds. Set a timer.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of the red peel are gone.
• Frequency: Start with once every 7-10 days. If your skin tolerates it well after several uses, you may increase to a maximum of twice per week.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily/congested skin? This peel can effectively deep-cleanse pores. Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
• Dry or normal skin? Use only once per week and follow immediately with a rich, barrier-supporting cream containing ceramides or panthenol.
• Sensitive/reactive? This product is likely too strong. Consider a gentler exfoliant. If you proceed, a patch test is mandatory.
• Using retinoids? Alternate nights. Never use this peel and a retinoid in the same PM routine.

Watchouts (1 line): Stinging that becomes painful burning = rinse off immediately; Redness for more than an hour may mean it's too strong for you; "No results" = ensure you are using sunscreen daily to protect the newly exfoliated skin.

Safety: For external use only. Do not use on compromised, peeling, or irritated skin. This product contains a high concentration of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.

This is a powerful treatment and must be scheduled carefully to avoid over-exfoliation.

• Example Week (PM focus):
  • Mon: Soothing night (no strong actives)
  • Tue: THIS PRODUCT (max 1 min)
  • Wed: Soothing night
  • Thu: Retinoid (if in your routine)
  • Fri: Soothing night
  • Sat: Soothing night or a hydrating sleeping pack
  • Sun: Soothing night
• Rules: One strong active per night. Do not use this peel and retinoids (retinol/retinal) or other strong acids on the same night. Always leave at least 24-48 hours between this peel and other exfoliating treatments.
• Mauritius note: The intense sun in Mauritius makes daily, high-SPF sunscreen an absolute necessity when using this peel. Your results depend on it.
• Safety: If irritation, redness, or peeling persists, reduce frequency to once every two weeks or discontinue use. Prioritize skin barrier health.

• Immediate (after 1 use): Skin will feel significantly smoother and softer to the touch after rinsing. You may experience temporary redness for up to an hour.
• 2–4 Weeks (Purging Possible): As the acids work to clear out pores, you might experience a temporary "purging" phase with more breakouts. This is normal and should subside. Skin will start to look brighter and more radiant.
• 4–8+ Weeks (with consistent use): The appearance of clogged pores, blackheads, and fine lines should be visibly reduced. Skin texture will be more refined, and the overall complexion will look more even and glowing.

• Why this, not harsh scrubs? A well-formulated chemical peel with AHA/BHA dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together evenly and effectively. This is safer than harsh physical scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles like sugar or nutshells) which can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in melanin-rich skin.

• Works Well With: Soothing and hydrating ingredients. After rinsing off the peel, layer with products containing Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Snail Mucin, Ceramides, and Panthenol to calm and support the skin barrier.
• Use Carefully With: Niacinamide and Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). Do not use them in the same routine as the peel. It is best to use them on alternate days to avoid potential irritation from combining multiple potent actives.
• Avoid On Same Night: Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal, Tretinoin), other AHAs (Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic Acid), other BHAs (Salicylic Acid products), physical scrubs, and peeling gels. Using them together will lead to over-exfoliation and a damaged skin barrier.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Effectively degunks pores, controls sebum, and smooths texture.
• Normal Skin: Very good for a weekly radiance boost and texture refinement.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. Can be effective if used infrequently (e.g., once every 10-14 days) and followed by a rich, nourishing moisturiser. Patch test is essential.
• Sensitive Skin: Not recommended. The high concentration of AHA (17%) is likely to cause significant irritation.

• Dull, lackluster complexion
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads
• Superficial acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Congestion and excess sebum

• MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a "Functional Cosmetic" by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (formerly KFDA).
• Evidence Basis: Claims for exfoliation, pore clearing, and texture refinement are based on the known dermatological functions of its active ingredients, specifically Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA), at their stated concentrations (Ingredient rationale).

Key Actives Explained:

• Glycolic Acid (AHA) 17%: A powerful Alpha Hydroxy Acid with a small molecular size that works on the skin's surface to dissolve dead skin cells, fade hyperpigmentation, and smooth fine lines.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): An oil-soluble Beta Hydroxy Acid that penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate from within, dissolving sebum and debris to treat and prevent acne and blackheads.
• Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract: A natural source of malic acid (a gentle AHA) and antioxidants that aids in exfoliation and helps to brighten dull skin.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten skin tone, regulate oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Red Food Complex (Tomato, Beet, Paprika, Berry Extracts): A blend of antioxidant-rich extracts that gives the peel its signature red color and helps to calm and revitalize the skin after exfoliation.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product does not contain added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent: The product has a minimal, slightly acidic scent characteristic of its active ingredients.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the official ingredient list.

• Photosensitivity Warning: This product contains a high concentration of AHA, which significantly increases sun sensitivity. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) is mandatory during and for one week after using this product to prevent sunburn and hyperpigmentation.
• Purging Note: When you first start using this peel, it may accelerate cell turnover and bring underlying clogged pores to the surface more quickly. This can result in a temporary increase in breakouts, known as "purging." This is a sign the product is working and should resolve within 2-4 weeks. If breakouts are painful, inflamed, or persist, discontinue use.
• Who should use with caution: Not for beginners to chemical exfoliation or those with sensitive, eczematous, or rosacea-prone skin. Do not use if your skin barrier is compromised (e.g., red, peeling, or stinging from other products).
• Pregnancy/BF: Contains Salicylic Acid. While the concentration is low and it is a rinse-off product, it is best to consult with a clinician before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount to a discreet area, like behind the ear or on the jawline. Leave on for 60 seconds, then rinse. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience excessive redness, burning, or a rash, do not use the product on your full face.

• Texture: A thin, watery serum.
• Color: A striking "bloody" red color, derived from natural botanical extracts.
• Scent: Minimal and slightly acidic.
• Finish: Rinses off completely, leaving skin feeling smooth and clean, with no residue.
• pH: The effectiveness of AHAs depends on a low pH. While not officially published by the brand, the pH is expected to be in the acidic range of approximately 3.5 - 4.0 to ensure the glycolic acid is effective.
• FA/Comedogenicity: Contains Olive Oil and Shea Butter, which can be a risk for some fungal acne sufferers or highly acne-prone individuals. However, as a rinse-off product used for only one minute, the risk of clogging pores is low. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: It stings more than a tingle. Quick Fix: Your skin barrier may be slightly compromised or sensitive. Rinse off immediately, even if it has been less than a minute. Apply a soothing cica or ceramide cream. Next time, ensure your skin is fully recovered before trying again, perhaps for only 30-45 seconds.
• Issue: My skin feels tight and dry after use. Quick Fix: You may be using it too frequently or not moisturising enough afterward. Reduce use to once every 10-14 days and apply a richer, more nourishing moisturiser immediately after rinsing.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a month. Quick Fix: Ensure you are using it consistently once a week and, most importantly, applying a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen every single morning. Exfoliation without sun protection will not yield positive results and can cause damage.

• Humid Summer: This peel is excellent for the hot, humid Mauritian summer to combat the increased oiliness and pore congestion that the climate causes. Its ability to deep-cleanse helps prevent breakouts triggered by sweat and humidity.
• Drier Winter: Your skin may feel more sensitive during the drier winter months. You might need to reduce the frequency of use (e.g., from once a week to once every two weeks) and pair it with a more intensive moisturiser.
• Sun Alert: The UV index in Mauritius is high year-round. Using a potent acid peel like this makes your skin significantly more vulnerable to sun damage. Daily application and reapplication of SPF 50+ is not optional; it is essential for protecting your skin and seeing the benefits of the peel.
• Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, such as a bedroom cabinet, to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. Avoid storing it in a hot car or a steamy bathroom.

• Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source all our products directly from the brand or their authorised distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Look for the official SKIN1004 packaging with a mix of Korean and English text. Check for a clear batch number and expiration date printed on the bottle or box.
• Verification: If you have any doubts about the authenticity of your product, please contact us on WhatsApp with photos, and we will be happy to assist you.

• Ingredient Rationale: The effectiveness of this peel is supported by extensive independent dermatological research on its key active ingredients. Glycolic Acid (AHA) is well-documented for its ability to exfoliate the skin surface, improve texture, and stimulate collagen. Salicylic Acid (BHA) is a gold-standard ingredient for penetrating oily pores to clear congestion and reduce inflammation.
• Brand Claims: Brand-stated claims about smoothness and radiance are based on the expected performance of these well-established ingredients at the provided concentrations. No public clinical trial data for this specific product is available for independent verification.

This product offers exceptional value due to its high concentration and infrequent use.

• Size: 30ml
• Dosage per use: Approximately 0.5ml (a few drops)
• Uses per bottle: ~60 uses
• Reorder Cadence:
  • Used once per week: The bottle will last over a year (~60 weeks).
  • Used twice per week: The bottle will last approximately 7-8 months (~30 weeks).

This is a highly cost-effective treatment for maintaining smooth, clear skin.

Because this peel is so potent, pair it with gentle, soothing products to support your skin barrier.

Compatibility note: Avoid using other strong acids and retinoids on the same night as this peel.

This high-strength peel is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are significant texture, stubborn clogged pores, and dullness, and your skin is already accustomed to acids.

Consider these alternatives from our catalog if your needs are different:

• For Gentler AHA Exfoliation: COSRX AHA 7 WHITEHEAD POWER LIQUID — Choose this if you are new to acids or have drier skin. It's a leave-on liquid with 7% Glycolic Acid that gently smooths away whiteheads and flakes without the intensity of a rinse-off peel.
• For Blackheads & Pore Focus: COSRX BHA BLACKHEAD POWER LIQUID — Choose this if your main concern is blackheads and congested pores. This leave-on BHA treatment works inside the pores to dissolve sebum and is generally gentler than high-concentration AHAs.
• For Daily Mild Exfoliation: SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 DAYS MIRACLE TONER 150ML — Choose this if you prefer a very gentle, daily exfoliating step integrated into your toner. It's suitable for more sensitive or acne-prone skin types who find weekly peels too strong.

Mindful Use: If you already have a powerful exfoliating product at home, finish it first to avoid waste and give your skin a chance to show results from a consistent routine.

• Format: 30ml glass bottle with a glass dropper applicator for precise dosage.
• Hygiene: The dropper ensures you can dispense the product without touching the remainder in the bottle, maintaining its integrity.
• Sustainability: The glass bottle is recyclable in Mauritius. Please rinse it out before placing it in your recycling bin. The cardboard box is also recyclable.
• Storage & Travel: The 30ml size is travel-friendly. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent leaks. Store in a cool, dark place to protect the stability of the active ingredients.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. Experiences are individual and not a guarantee of results.

• "I cannot tell you what a game changer this has been for my sensitive skin. It zaps active acne overnight, resurfaces skin much faster and just removes any texture... The effects I've seen now are just other worldly. I never thought an OTC product could bring these results." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (review 2023-04)
• "I used this three times. Once a week... As I left it on for one minute it didn't tingle or irritate my skin at all. After the time was up I wiped it off... My cheeks were slightly pink but that's all and the pink hue went away after 5 minutes. I didn't experience any irritation or dryness." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (review 2023-04)
• "AMAZING GLOW!! but maybe not so good for my sensitive skin :/" — YesStyle customer review (2024-09)
• Caveat: Many users compare this to The Ordinary's AHA + BHA peel, noting that the SKIN1004 version is often perceived as gentler and a good introductory peel for those who find The Ordinary's version too strong. However, it is still a potent acid treatment and should be respected as such.

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," meaning "Skin Angel" in Korean) is a natural, hypoallergenic Korean skincare brand founded in 2012.

The brand is committed to clean, ethical beauty, with PETA-certified cruelty-free and vegan formulations.

Is this product similar to The Ordinary's peeling solution?
Yes, it is conceptually similar as both are high-concentration, rinse-off AHA/BHA peels. However, many users find the SKIN1004 version to be slightly gentler, making it a good option for those who found The Ordinary's peel too intense.

Will this peel actually make my skin peel or flake?
It is designed to increase cell turnover without causing visible peeling for most users when used correctly (once a week for 1 minute). However, if overused or if your skin is dry, you might experience some minor flakiness. This can be managed by reducing frequency and using a good moisturiser.

Why is it red? Is that an artificial color?
No, the signature red color comes from a complex of natural, antioxidant-rich extracts from tomatoes, beets, paprika, and various berries. There are no artificial colorants.

Can I use this on my body acne?
Yes, this can be an effective treatment for body concerns like bacne (back acne) or chest breakouts. Apply to clean, dry skin on the affected area for 1 minute before your shower and rinse thoroughly. Always follow with a body lotion and protect the area from the sun.
