What Conscious Chemist Says
Product Description:
Derm Date is an advanced peeling / resurfacing solution which works on multiple layers of the skin. It works as a 5 minute exfoliating facial & contains scientifically developed blends of 25% AHAs (combination of Glycolic acid & Lactic acid), 5% PHA (Gluconolactone) & 2% BHAs (Salicylic acid). The Derm Date represents the cutting edge of skincare with a carefully crafted formulation and a pH ranging from 1.5 to 2.5. It deeply exfoliates skinโs surface layer and unclogs pores. This water based gel peel glides easily over skin and immediately addresses multiple signs of ageing, dullness & pore congestion. The water soluble AHAs fight the overlying causes of damage and address rough bumpy texture. PHAs help banish fine lines, wrinkles & help in skin cell regeneration. BHAs tackle underlying causes of skin damage, deep cleanse pores, and calm redness as well as irritation. Together, this high performance formulation yields fuller & plumper skin.
