Review: Etos Lactic Acid 5% + HA Peeling Exfoliant 30 ML

Finding the right skin care products can sometimes be a challenging task, especially if you are looking for something that is both effective and kind to the skin. One of the products I recently tried is the Etos Lactic Acid 5% + HA Peeling Exfoliant 30 ML . In this comprehensive review, I share my experiences with this product, including the benefits, the disadvantages, and how I have had to adjust my use for the best results.

First impression

The Etos Lactic Acid 5% + HA Peeling Exfoliant comes in a handy 30 ml package. The product claims to improve skin texture by removing dead skin cells and hydrating the skin thanks to hyaluronic acid (HA). The ingredient list includes lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties, and hyaluronic acid, which helps keep skin hydrated.

Instructions for Use and Initial Results

According to the instructions, the product should be applied to clean, dry skin in the evening, and no more than once a day. I started by using the product every other day to give my skin time to get used to it. After the first week I noticed that my skin texture felt smoother and my complexion was more even.

My experience

However, after a few weeks of daily use, I noticed that my skin became more sensitive. I started experiencing redness and mild irritation, especially on sensitive areas of my face such as around the nose and cheeks. This was a clear sign to me that I needed to reduce my use.

Adjustment of Use

I decided to reduce the use of the peel to twice a week. This adjustment made a huge difference. The sensitivity and irritation decreased, and I continued to experience the positive effects of the product. My skin remained supple and hydrated, without any unpleasant side effects.

Protection from the Sun

Because lactic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun, I used Vision Factor 50 sunscreen on my face daily. This is an essential step when using exfoliating products to prevent the skin from being damaged by UV rays. The Vision Factor 50 proved to be an excellent addition to my skincare routine, providing ample protection without clogging my pores or leaving a greasy feeling.

Conclusion

All in all, I am very satisfied with the Etos Lactic Acid 5% + HA Peeling Exfoliant. The product does exactly what it promises: it effectively exfoliates the skin and provides a smooth, radiant complexion. However, it's important to listen to your skin and adjust use if you notice signs of sensitivity or irritation.

All made up.

Pros:

  • Effective exfoliation
  • Improved skin texture and complexion
  • Moisturizing effect thanks to hyaluronic acid

Negatives:

  • Can cause skin irritation if used too frequently
  • Requires daily sun protection

For those looking for an effective peeling exfoliant, I definitely recommend the Etos Lactic Acid 5% + HA Peeling. However, be careful with the frequency of use and always ensure good sun protection to get the most out of this product without damaging your skin.
