Prep: Prior to the first peel, it is recommended that you use one Step 1 Activator Pad and one Step 2 Neutralizer Pad on a small inconspicuous part of your face following the directions below. If there is no irritation or discomfort after 24 hours, you may proceed with a peel of the entire face.
Cleanse the face with an Exuviance cleanser.
Apply a Step 1 Activator Pad over the entire face, avoiding eye area, lips and any area of sensitivity. Then discard pad.
Carefully monitor the skin's response to the Peel by observing any redness or discomfort, including stinging, burning, itching, tightness, tingling and peeling.
Apply a Step 2 Neutralizer Pad to the face after 10 minutes, or sooner if you experience bothersome redness or discomfort. Apply over entire face (avoiding eyes and lips), and then rinse the face thoroughly with water.
Apply a moisturizer such as Exuviance Overnight Transformation Complex.
Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 may be used up to twice weekly, as tolerated by your skin. Reduce frequency of use if skin becomes uncomfortable, irritated or if bothersome peeling occurs. Note: Visible peeling may not occur.

- Asked by Simmie
- Official Answer By ExuvianceWhile none of our products are classified as vegan, the vast majority of our raw materials are either synthetic or plant derived.

None of our ingredients come from animal specified risk materials (organs, tissues, spinal cord, nervous system, etc.) of animals, so there is no risk of BSE. We do not conduct animal testing on our marketed skincare products. All routine product safety and claim support testing is carried out on human volunteers or using in vitro models. We only sources ingredients from companies that comply with international animal testing bans.

This is my secret to amazing skin!
This product is amazing! I use it once a week (but you can use it up to two times a week). I use it before I go to bed, wait 10 minutes, wash it off, then apply my favorite face mask. This product ENHANCES the benifits of other products such as my face mask I use after. Or even if you put on an anti...

This product is an expensive waste of money
I purchased this product along with the dry skin cleansing starter kit. I used the products as stated for 12 weeks hoping my pores would minimize and my skin would clear up. In the end there was no difference in my skin.

Gentle and effective
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] These pads are a great alternative to pricier two-step peels, where one pad delivers the acid and the second pad neutralizes to prevent unnecessary irritation. And the instructions couldn't be simpler, with only 10 minutes needed between applications. I have rosacea prone skin and these pads were gentle enough for me to use 2-3 times a week, and I loved the instant glow. Give them a try if you're a peel newbie.
Sensitive skin friendly
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Really nice! My skin is very sensitive so I was a bit worried but it only ever tickled a bit, I didn't have any adverse reactions. My skin felt very clean after and the texture seemed better. I'll continue to use this and depending on how my skin looks after finishing the box, it might be a five star product!
Leaves My Skin Smooth and Glowing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The EXUVIANCE Performance Peel AP25 works very well. My skin felt smoother and looked brighter after just one use. It was easy to apply, and my face felt fresh and clean afterward. I also noticed my skin looked healthier and more glowing without feeling too harsh or drying. In all, It is a great at-home peel which makes your skin softer and brighter skin.
Looking forward to the results!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have not yet seen Results but I will say it does make my skin feel nice and smooth! There is no burning or redness after use. I will continue using this product and hopefully will start seeing results soon!
Facial peel at home. Make your skin clean and soft
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I never used Facial Peel at home I think very hard to do it. But today the first time I used EXUVIANCE Performance Peel AP25 At-Home I very like because it very easy to used. After few days used my skin clean and soft. If you so busy for take care skin I think this is a good product you can buy and use at home
