Luminescence Peel is an at-home resurfacing treatment that brightens and smooths skin using 15% lactic acid and 10% glycolic acid. The gel formula exfoliates gently enough for delicate skin, refining texture and reviving a dull complexion with weekly use. It brings the kind of acid resurfacing usually reserved for a treatment room into a product you can use at home.

What Is the Luminescence Peel?

Luminescence Peel is a leave-on acid treatment that resurfaces the skin's outer layer. Two alpha hydroxy acids, lactic and glycolic, loosen dull surface cells so fresher skin shows through. The result is a brighter, smoother, more refined complexion over time. Unlike aggressive in-clinic peels, this formula is calibrated for at-home use, which is what makes it gentle enough for delicate skin.

How Glycolic and Lactic Acid Resurface Skin

Luminescence Peel works through two acids that exfoliate at different depths. Glycolic acid, the smallest AHA molecule, penetrates efficiently to loosen surface buildup and brighten tone. Lactic acid exfoliates while supporting moisture, so skin smooths without the tightness harsher acids leave. Together at 10% and 15%, they refine texture and revive radiance while remaining tolerable for sensitive skin.

What Is in the Peel?

• 15% Lactolymer (lactic acid) gel exfoliates while supporting hydration
• 10% Glycolic acid gel brightens tone and refines texture
• A nourishing base to buffer the acids for gentler use

The formula is designed for delicate complexions that usually cannot tolerate stronger peels.

Who It Is For

Choose Luminescence Peel if your skin is dull, uneven in texture, or in need of a radiance refresh, and if stronger peels have irritated you before. It suits most skin types, including more delicate complexions, when introduced gradually.

If your skin is very reactive or currently compromised, patch test first and start with a single short application. For daily gentle exfoliation rather than a weekly peel, the Skin Skulpt Skin Care range covers milder options.

How to Use the Luminescence Peel

Apply to clean, dry skin one to two times a week, avoiding the eye area. For a radiance refresh, leave on for a short period and rinse. Build up contact time gradually as your skin adjusts. Never combine with other strong actives (retinoids, other acids) on the same night, and always patch test before first use.

Important: Sun Protection with AHAs

Luminescence Peel contains alpha hydroxy acids, which increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF the morning after using the peel, and continue daily sun protection while using it. Skipping SPF while using an AHA undoes the brightening work and risks new pigmentation. Browse the Skin Skulpt Skin Care range for a daily routine to pair with it.

FAQs

How often should I use the Luminescence Peel?

Luminescence Peel is designed for use one to two times a week. Start with once weekly and a short contact time, building up gradually as your skin adjusts. As an acid treatment, more frequent use risks over-exfoliation. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF the following day, since AHAs increase sun sensitivity.

Is the Luminescence Peel safe for sensitive skin?

Luminescence Peel is buffered to be gentler than aggressive in-clinic peels, which makes it suitable for more delicate skin when introduced carefully. Patch test on the inner forearm before first use, start with a single short application, and stop if irritation persists. Very reactive or compromised skin should consult a professional first.

What do glycolic and lactic acid do in the peel?

Glycolic and lactic acid are alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin's surface. Glycolic acid brightens tone and refines texture, while lactic acid smooths while supporting moisture. At 10% and 15% in the Luminescence Peel, they revive radiance and refine texture over consistent weekly use, revealing fresher skin underneath.
