Bioderma Sebium Night Peel Smoothing Concentrate-40ml

Description

The Bioderma Sebium Night Peel Smoothing Concentrate (40ml) is an at-home chemical exfoliant specifically designed for combination to oily and blemish-prone skin. It offers a gentle peeling effect to improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and reveal radiance.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Gentle Chemical Exfoliation: The star ingredient is 15% Glycolic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). Glycolic acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This helps to:
  • Unclog pores
  • Reduce the appearance of spots and blemishes (acne marks, dark spots)
  • Smooth and refine skin texture
  • Promote cell renewal for a “new skin” effect
  • Enhance skin radiance and luminosity
• Sebum Regulation: It contains Bioderma’s patented Fluidactiv™ complex, which biologically regulates sebum quality. This helps prevent pores from becoming clogged and limits the formation of new blemishes.
• Soothing and Restructuring: D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5) is included to provide soothing and restructuring properties, helping to calm the skin and reduce potential irritation that can sometimes occur with AHAs.
• Non-Comedogenic: It’s formulated not to clog pores, which is crucial for acne-prone skin.
• Good Skin Tolerance: Despite being a peel, it’s designed to be well-tolerated, even by sensitive skin, though some mild discomfort or redness might occur initially.
• Dermatologist Recommended: Bioderma is a brand frequently recommended by dermatologists for skin concerns.

Key Ingredients:

• Glycolic Acid (15%): The primary exfoliating agent.
• D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Soothes, hydrates, and helps with skin repair.
• Fluidactiv™ Complex: Bioderma’s patented complex for sebum quality regulation.
• Water (Aqua): Base solvent.
• Other ingredients include humectants (like Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides) for hydration, and pH balancers (Sodium Hydroxide) to ensure effectiveness and safety of the glycolic acid.

How to Use:

• Apply to clean, dry, and non-irritated skin in the evening only.
• Use for a period of 4 weeks.
• Rinse your face thoroughly in the morning.
• Take a one-month break between uses/cycles.
• Important: Due to the presence of Glycolic Acid, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF during the day while using this product and for a period after discontinuation.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If you have very sensitive skin, you might experience slight discomfort or redness; if so, reduce the frequency of application.
