Even the best and highest quality cream will not be able to show its best properties if the skin is not thoroughly cleansed beforehand, and the Premium peeling with AHA acids, which we will look at today, copes with this task perfectly. It is not enough to simply wash your face twice a day. Cosmetology experts recommend doing special peelings once a week. According to the manufacturer, the procedure of its products allows you to achieve excellent results in a short time: refresh and smooth the skin, eliminate imperfections and achieve a healthy dermis.
Effect on skin
Peeling with AHA acids has a beneficial effect on the skin. The reason for this is the effect on the scales in such a way that the connection between them is destroyed. The components contained in the drug relieve inflammation and blackheads. They clean out the pores. Acids prevent bacteria from multiplying and saturate tissues with oxygen. The procedure has numerous reviews about the effectiveness of the result.
Reviews from cosmetologists

Olga Nikolaevna Grishina (Ekaterinburg), dermato-cosmetologist, 40 years old, 14 years of experience.
“Once a girl came to us - her acne was not going away, plus she had acne and oily skin. Premium peeling with AHA acids was used as one of the means of complex therapy. The procedures were carried out once a week. I believe that this is one of the most effective products of its kind. With its help, it was possible to relieve the patient of post-acne and even out the color and surface of the skin. The product also contributed to the effective treatment of acne.”
Pavlova Alexandra Yuryevna (Novosibirsk), cosmetologist, 41 years old, 16 years of experience
“We have been using professional peelings based on fruit acids in our practice for a long time. Delicate peeling Premium has become our favorite. Now it is quite difficult to get it. But every client to whom we performed procedures with Premium 8% was satisfied with the result. After the procedure, the skin became smooth, fine wrinkles smoothed out, and age spots disappeared. We continue to use this product, so far I can’t say anything bad about it.”
Types of peeling
AHA facial peeling can be performed using various fruit acids:
- glycolic;
- apple;
- dairy;
- wine;
- lemon
The choice of peeling type depends on your skin type. These acids are included in the composition of the products. There are special cosmetics that allow you to perform the procedure at home. The concentration of acids in them is no more than 20%, since if this threshold is exceeded, you should be observed by a cosmetologist. Premium peeling with AHA 8, Regeneration AHA 10% (or 20%), Premium Homework AHA 8% or Mizon AHA is suitable for home use. All products are available in gel form, which is convenient to apply.
Home and salon treatments can cleanse your skin and make it healthy. The best results come from a professional who chooses the appropriate type of peeling.
Operating principle and effectiveness of peeling with aha 8 from Premium
Chemical peeling with fruit acids is considered one of the most effective skin care procedures. It is used for aging skin, acne, to eliminate scars, hyperpigmentation and seborrhea. Salon peeling Premium is able to even out the color of the skin surface, its microrelief, and also lighten even the most stagnant pigment spots.
The procedure using such a product is considered delicate. The concentration of chemical acids here is low, so you don’t have to worry about getting severe irritation. This peeling contains two main elements:
- AHA acids are a combination of fruit acids that moisturize, restore the skin, and have an enhancer and keratolytic effect.
- Sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate is an amino acid that protects the skin surface from dehydration, accelerates metabolic processes at the cellular level and improves the skin's resistance to negative environmental influences. In addition, this component is able to restore lipid balance and increase skin elasticity.
These and other components in the composition perfectly exfoliate dead skin cells, and Premium cosmetics are, of course, the best peelings. If you want to revitalize and smooth the skin surface, remove acne spots or stubborn pigment spots, give your face freshness and smoothness, then this is exactly what you need.
Advantages
AHA peeling has many positive reviews due to its advantages:
- Substances affect only those areas of the skin to which cosmetics were applied.
- The product is non-toxic.
- Many people tolerate acids well, and the risk of allergies is minimal.
- There is no addiction.
- The product can be used for many years.
According to reviews, AHA peeling is easy to do at home. To achieve this, cosmetic companies produce many products that, when used correctly, can produce the same effect as in the salon. There are many of these acids, and each of them has its own properties. Some perfectly moisturize the skin, others eliminate dead cells, rejuvenate and improve elasticity. Many women are satisfied with the results of the procedure.
Reviews from women
As you can see, professionals speak about this product only in a positive tone. But we also studied reviews of Premium peeling from ordinary users. Those who have used this remedy at home note its effectiveness. Of course, if you study the reviews for a long time, you can find negative comments. But they are largely associated with the incorrect use of peeling, in the presence of contraindications, etc. Reviews note that Premium peeling perfectly cleanses pores, helps fight post-acne and perfectly removes the stratum corneum of the skin. The declared properties from the manufacturer appear to be true.
Components
Surface cleansing products may contain one acid or a combination. In addition, the compositions are enriched with vitamins and components that enhance the effect. Typically peeling includes:
- Glycolic acid. It is obtained from sugar cane and green grapes. The component has a pronounced effect due to its low molecular weight. The component penetrates deeply through the epidermal barrier, providing an internal and superficial effect. The substance has a bleaching effect.
- Lactic acid. The component is present in fermented milk products, apples, grapes, blueberries, and tomato juice. In addition to the exfoliating effect, tissue hydration occurs.
- Malic acid. Present in many fruits, apples, tomatoes. The component has a stimulating effect and accelerates metabolism.
- Tartaric acid. Found in overripe grapes, oranges, and old wine. The component exfoliates dead cells, whitens the face, and moisturizes the epidermis.
- Citric acid. It is found in citrus fruits. The component has a high molecular weight among AHA acids and is considered a natural antioxidant. It lightens the skin.
Salicylic acid is not an AHA acid, but is often used as an additional component to speed up the removal of the stratum corneum. The component is found in birch bark and plant leaves. Has an antiseptic effect, neutralizes fungi.
ANA peeling using glycolic, lactic, salicylic and pyruvic acids
AHA peeling will make your skin smooth and even, restore its shine and healthy color. The effect of alpha hydroxy acids helps even out skin texture, promotes better skin hydration, and has a whitening, rejuvenating and lifting effect. As a result of using AHA peeling, fine wrinkles are reduced or disappeared, collagen production is activated, and the elasticity and firmness of the skin increases. AHA peeling at the Doctor Plastic clinic will help you effectively eliminate problems such as:
- signs of aging and skin withering;
- uneven skin;
- hyperkeratosis;
- hyperpigmentation (age spots).
For AHA lifting, our center uses glycolic, lactic, salicylic and pyruvic acids. The action of each of these acids has its own characteristics. Peeling with lactic acid has a pronounced moisturizing effect and perfectly evens out the skin texture. Pyruvic acid serves as a powerful antioxidant, preventing the aging process (including photoaging) and significantly rejuvenating the skin.
Glycolic peeling is one of the most popular types of peeling. The excellent effect of this procedure is explained by the unique properties of glycolic acid - it has a minimal molecule size and easily penetrates the skin, improving complexion and lightening age spots, evening out skin texture and smoothing out fine wrinkles, and has a lifting and stimulating effect. In addition, glycolic acid is an excellent natural antiseptic.
Salicylic peeling is mainly used for oily skin. This type of peeling has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, stimulates the regeneration of skin cells. The use of salicylic acid provides long-term results due to more powerful exfoliation and smoothing of the skin texture.
Effect
If you choose the right composition of an AHA peel, you can obtain the following results:
- Acceleration of metabolism in cells.
- Normalization of water-fat balance.
- Elimination of imperfections of the epidermis.
- Skin softening.
If a composition with a high acid content is used, then dead cells are exfoliated, and a low content levels the surface and increases the permeability of the epidermis. Products with 25% acid content are used only by specialists. There are no age restrictions, since the procedure is well accepted by everyone.
After an AHA peel, the skin becomes sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, so it must be performed in winter or autumn. Acids must be diluted; they are not used in their pure form. It is important that the product does not get on the mucous membranes. Before the event, you need to familiarize yourself with the composition, expiration date and ask for a quality certificate. Women who have already performed the procedure are advised to do this.
TCA peeling
TCA peeling provides a pronounced rejuvenating effect, affecting deeper layers of the skin compared to superficial peeling. Despite the high effectiveness of this type of peeling, it is relatively low-traumatic and does not cause negative side effects. TCA peeling with trichloroacetic acid eliminates hyperpigmentation and significantly improves complexion, and has a pronounced lifting effect.
TCA peels can be used not only on small areas, such as to eliminate crow's feet around the mouth and eyes, but also on the entire face, as well as on the outside of the hands. Thanks to TCA peeling, the skin regains its youth - it becomes fresh, tightened, its structure is restored, age-related pigmentation is reduced, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and some scars are evened out. The peeling procedure takes no more than 30 minutes. Already 5-7 days after TCA peeling, you can use makeup, and after 2-3 weeks, when traces of redness finally disappear, your skin will gain freshness, become young and beautiful. To achieve optimal results, 1-3 sessions with a break of 2-4 weeks are usually sufficient.
Indications
AHA peeling with fruit acids has many positive reviews. The procedure eliminates acne, age-related changes in the epidermis, and solves various problems. Peeling should be performed in the following cases:
- Aging of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles, age spots.
- Decreased firmness and elasticity of the skin, the appearance of folds.
- Deterioration of complexion.
- Dryness of the epidermis.
- Hardening of the stratum corneum.
- Oily skin.
The procedure copes with such problems, improving the condition of facial skin. As can be seen from the reviews, AHA peeling is considered more effective than many other similar activities.
Contraindications
AHA fruit peel should not be performed if:
- allergies to the components of the product;
- sensitivity of the epidermis;
- violation of skin integrity;
- the presence of herpes or purulent inflammation;
- prolonged exposure to the sun.
It is important to follow safety rules during the procedure. Especially when used at home. It is important to choose a product that has an acid concentration of no more than 15%. In other cases, there will be no positive result; the epidermis will be damaged.
How do they do it?
Peeling gel with AHA acids gives a positive effect after the first procedure. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. A pronounced effect is observed in the form of cleansing, rejuvenation and improvement of the skin after 5 sessions.
Cleansing includes several stages:
- Preparation. The patient is examined by a specialist. It determines the skin type, its characteristics, and identifies the goals of the event. Based on these nuances, a product is prepared in which the concentration of fruit acid should be at least 30%. The product contains vitamins A and E. With their help, the skin is toned and toxins are quickly removed. Hyaluronic acid provides hydration and lipid protection.
- Cleansing. Makeup is removed with a special milk or toner, and a degreasing and disinfectant is used for the skin. This is necessary to protect against inflammation, redness, hyperpigmentation and reduce the risk of infection.
- Application of the product. Cosmetics are applied in an even layer, and the exposure time is determined.
- Removing a tool. Fruit acids are not washed off with water. This may cause skin burns. A neutralizer is used for removal.
- Recovery. To avoid negative consequences, appropriate procedures should be followed after this. For this purpose, products with a moisturizing and soothing effect are used. You should use sunscreen. The face must be protected from negative environmental factors.
To ensure high effectiveness, the amount of acid in the product is increased and the duration of exposure is reduced. If you follow all the tips, then after a few months you will be able to eliminate many problems. This is evidenced by numerous reviews.
Important facts and recommendations
Many people are interested in the question of the age at which facial peeling with AHA acids can be performed. Cosmetologists say that the procedure can be carried out in adolescence and throughout life. The only difference is that for young skin the procedure is carried out to improve the condition of problematic skin, and for mature skin it is to correct and eliminate signs of aging. Taking into account existing skin problems and individual characteristics, the procedure can be carried out either as a course or as a one-time procedure.
To reduce rashes and get rid of oily skin for a person under the age of 25, it is enough to carry out the procedure once every few months. If he has the opportunity, then you can take the full course, this will only improve the effect. People in the age category of 25-30 years can activate skin reserves in one procedure. To smooth out facial wrinkles, 2-3 sessions a year may be enough. To prevent and correct signs of aging, a person aged 30 to 45 years is recommended to take a short course of 3-5 procedures, followed by maintenance procedures once every 1-2 months. If a person does not have this opportunity, then it is recommended to perform peeling with AHA acids once every 1-2 months, combining it with various anti-aging procedures. This is especially important in the autumn-winter period. This applies to those people who do not have pronounced skin problems. If the problem is pigment spots or noticeable age-related changes, then taking a peeling course will be effective. From the age of 45 years, superficial peeling is recommended in a short course. Most often it is performed as preparation for a mid-peel. If, at the age of 20 to 30 years, a person has completely healthy skin, then the procedure is not necessary.
Home procedure
Peeling can also be done independently. Various means are used for this. As reviews show, the following cosmetics have an excellent effect:
- Faberlic Expert Re-Surface Active. The company's experts, using modern technologies, have produced a product for skin revitalization. Peeling can serve as a replacement for salon procedures; moreover, it exfoliates dead cells and evens out the skin texture. The product should be applied and rinsed off with warm water after 10 minutes.
- Gentle facial peeling “Natura Siberica”. The product gently exfoliates the skin, tones and restores the epidermis. It should be applied with massage movements and then rinsed off with water.
Whatever peeling product you use, you must read the instructions. After all, if you do not follow safety rules, you can harm your skin.
Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Serum. When the leaves fall and the pH
Hello!
I first read a review of Mizon serum in 2015. But back then my associations with acid treatments were: Sergeant Ripley and the acid-dripping Alien.
However, in 2022 I finally decided to try, and for good reason. This particular product from Mizon is a definite top. Why did he resonate with me so much? The current flash mob is a good reason to talk about this.
For several summers now, my hyperactive baby and I have been constantly hanging out outdoors. This is great for general physical fitness, but not so good for the skin. No amount of smearing with Sanskrins will help with this lifestyle. Instead of noble aristocracy, I have skin closer to the color of a cuckoo's egg.
What does Korean glycolic acid serum do? With regular use, it restores uniformity and (relative) pallor.
In general, to understand the scale: this is what it looks like on average in summer
my bare face (the only cosmetics here are lip gloss). Sorry for the weird angle.
In general, for what some girls spray with a brush or flatten a spray bottle of paint, I get it naturally by August. Scatterings of rather dark freckles and more red spots in between.
When it rains and becomes completely cloudy, I start using the product in the morning and evening. This gets rid of some very rich summer pigmentation in about a month and a half. But I still continue until May - in addition to reducing freckles, peeling has something to offer.
Early October
December
Let's move on to the product itself.
Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Serum is an essence with alpha hydroxy acids. The small size of their molecules allows them to penetrate perfectly into the deep layers of the skin.
Package
The serum is enclosed in a durable plastic bottle with a silver cap that closes tightly until it clicks. It is equipped with a pipette dispenser with a button. As soon as you unscrew the cap half a turn, the button slides up. It already contains a full pipette of the product, which can be used literally drop by drop. The box is initially sealed with a protective sticker.
The volume of the product is 40 ml. Made in South Korea.
This is not my first tube, so I could notice damage to the mirror coating of the lid. The acid eats through it over time at the junction with the bottle.

Key Ingredients
First of all, the serum contains a complex of fruit AHA acids
, which accelerate blood circulation, reduce the amount of sebum secreted, stimulate collagen synthesis and elastin production.
The serum contains the most active AHA acid, glycolic (concentration 8%). It also contains hyaluronic acid and allantoin. The latter have a pronounced keratolytic effect - that is, they relieve the skin from peeling.
In addition, the list of ingredients includes organic extracts of Asian centella, hauttuynia, chia, purslane, aloe vera, gentian, yarrow, wormwood and arnica.
They saturate with vitamins, tone, soften and moisturize the skin, and have an antiseptic effect.
Another, no less important item in the composition is panthenol
. This is a derivative of pantothenic acid, a component of coenzyme A. It stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism and strengthens collagen fibers.
PS: Previously, the serum included papaya extract, but centella, hauttuynia and chia were not there. Serums with both versions of the ingredient list are now sold online. Be that as it may, for me the remedy remained just as effective, despite these shuffles. Under the flask below is my exact composition.
Texture and smell
I have come across the opinion that Mizon serum smells like dried dill.
Having opened a jar of it, I compared it - and no, nothing like it. The serum has a faint sour smell, completely different from the suffocating grassy one.
The texture is a viscous transparent gel.
Application and effect
I need one and a half droppers of the product so that it is enough for my face and neck. The format is convenient because everyone can adjust it to suit themselves. The pipette doesn't quite reach the bottom of the bottle—you just have to pour the last drops onto your fingers. It is opaque, so it is not obvious to the user when the product has run out.
It is important to note that any wounds and fresh inflammations will sting when applied.
The first year I used the serum together with a toner from the same company. It was a cleansing toner with AHA and BHA in a volume of 150 ml (they have a similar design). But over time, I saw that you can use any other - the effect will be the same.
In the morning I cover the peeling serum with SPF cream from MUFE. From November to March, even a BB cream with sun protection is enough (I have my favorite black Dr. Jart, SPF 25). Usually during these months in St. Petersburg the UV index is one, and one and a half photons penetrate through the clouds. If you live in a sunnier climate, I think it's best to use the serum at night.
In the evening I don’t cover it with anything at all, because my own sebum is quite enough. With dry skin, I would probably wait half an hour. In theory, you need to give the serum time to work. Let the acids BURN.
Shelf life after opening is 12 months. The bottle lasts for 8-9 months of regular use. After removing the main pigmentation, I do not apply this product every day, but alternate it with other assets.
In my experience, Mizon serum makes the skin texture as even as possible. For me, it brightens the skin and significantly evens out its tone. As for pigmentation - there are about four spots left, the most stubborn ones. The others are leaving me.
No effect on wrinkles was observed. As for peeling, even in winter, in the coldest weather, they remain only along the edge of the nostrils. Literally at the junction with the mucous membrane, where it is already inhumane to apply acid.
The effect of the serum is cumulative. That is, you won’t see a diva in the mirror tomorrow, but after a couple of months of regular use, the condition of your skin will most likely pleasantly surprise you.
It does not eliminate inflammation at its peak, but with Korean serum such things go away faster. The post-acne marks that I have here and there on my cheeks fade with this peeling and are no longer noticeable.
In a word, when I see a foggy distance outside the window, it means it’s time to take out the treasured bottle.
I recommend Mizon peeling serum to everyone who has similar tasks.
