Paula's Choice 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant is a facial exfoliating gel for all skin types. An ultra-light exfoliating gel that diminishes the appearance of dark spots and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is perfect for all skin types. The formula contains Glycolic Acid/AHA, an active ingredient that smoothes and renews the surface of the skin, allowing to visibly reduce the signs of aging and in particular sun damage. Together with panthenol (vitamin B5), it gives the gel humectant properties that allow it to hydrate the skin, improving its feel and appearance. The gel also contains Sodium PCA, a natural component of the skin and a great moisturizing agent, which is also used to plump the skin. 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant creates photosensitivity: it is recommended to use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher after use.
