A DIY liquid facial peel, like Murad’s Daily Clarifying Peel, sounds intense but trust us—it’s one of the best ways to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh, clear and healthy.
Instead of using a harsh scrub which can damage your skin, this chemical peels gently exfoliates, dissolving and removing dead skin, dirt and excess oil to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. It’s multifunctional too, tackling acne, clogged pores and a dull or uneven looking skin texture. That’s because Murad’s hard-working liquid formula is replete with two powerhouse acids: Glycolic acid, an AHA that exfoliates, brightens and smooths rough texture and salicylic acid, a BHA that dives deep into pores, clearing out oil and acne-causing bacteria. Factor in the addition of retinoid to boost cell turnover to fade blemishes along with avocado oil to nourish and hydrate to prevent irritation and dryness, and you’ve got a skincare keeper.
Did we mention that anyone with oily, combination and acne-prone skin should use it too. And often, since it helps keep breakouts in check without over-drying your face. It’s simple, just shake the bottle well, apply a few drops to your clean face at night and follow with your favourite moisturizer. We recommend starting off by applying the peel to your skin two to three times per week, before working your way up to daily use. Then sit back and enjoy the benefits.
