MODO Face Peeling with 10% Lactic Acid is described as a step beyond beginner level. While stronger than very mild introductory formulas, lactic acid is known for having a gentler feel compared to some other fruit acids (AHAs), which is why it's often chosen by intermediate users and those with skin that can become easily reactive. If you are new to chemical exfoliants, a cautious approach is essential.
Start by applying a very small amount to clean, dry skin once a week, preferably in the evening. Leave it on for the recommended time (often 5-10 minutes for a first use, but always check the product's specific instructions) and then rinse thoroughly. Monitor your skin for any signs of excessive redness, stinging, or irritation over the next 24-48 hours. If your skin tolerates it well, you can very gradually increase the frequency to twice a week, observing how your skin adapts. It's normal to feel a slight tingling sensation upon application, but persistent discomfort or visible irritation means you should reduce frequency or discontinue use. Remember, the goal is consistent, gentle improvement, not immediate intensity. Always follow with a good moisturizer to support your skin's barrier.
