A 5-acid resurfacing peel. Glycolic, lactic, salicylic, citric, and malic acids — a concentrated weekly chemical peel formulation. Despite the product name, this is not a leave-on oil; it's an active acid treatment. Helps support the appearance of skin renewal on resilient, healthy skin.
Advanced step — committed routine users only. Start once weekly at night; increase to twice weekly only as your skin tolerates. Always follow with SPF the next morning. Not recommended for sensitive skin, during pregnancy, or while using prescription retinoids.
Why I made this
"I made this for the woman who's done everything right and is ready for the next step. Not the woman who's still healing. Not the woman who hasn't worn sunscreen consistently for six months. If you're not sure that's you, talk to me first — or stay with the body cream and the soap. They do most of the work."
How to use
- Patch test on inner forearm first; wait 24 hours
- Use 1–3× weekly maximum, in the evening only
- Apply 3–5 drops to clean, dry skin
- Wait 10 minutes; do not layer with other actives that night
- Wear Radiance Invisible SPF 60 every single morning the next day

Questions about this product
Am I ready for the Peeling Oil?
Only if all of these are true: 6+ months of consistent routine, resilient (not reactive) skin, daily SPF, no rosacea, not pregnant or nursing, no prescription retinoids. If any are 'no' or 'not sure' — skip this product for now.
How often can I use it?
1 to 3 times per week MAXIMUM, evening only. Start at once weekly for the first month and only build up if your skin tolerates it.
Can I combine it with my retinol or other exfoliants?
No. Don't layer the Peeling Oil with any prescription retinoid or other exfoliating treatment. The acid stack is enough on its own.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Not recommended. Avoid AHAs and BHAs during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless approved by a healthcare professional.
Do I really need sunscreen the next morning?
Yes — every single morning. AHAs and BHAs increase sun sensitivity dramatically. Without SPF, you'll undo the work and risk new pigmentation.
