Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel 1.02 oz — Lactic & Glycolic Acids for Brighter, Smoother Skin

Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel is a dual-AHA brightening serum that gently resurfaces skin to help reduce the look of discoloration and smooth texture.

This lightweight peel blends glycolic and lactic acids with antioxidant-rich botanicals, peptides, and hydrating ingredients to support a more even-looking complexion. Designed as a targeted exfoliating treatment rather than a harsh scrub, it combines chemical exfoliation with nourishing actives like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and goji berry to address tone, texture, and visible signs of aging.

How does this peel improve skin texture and tone?

The formula uses two alpha hydroxy acids — glycolic acid for surface renewal and lactic acid for gentler exfoliation — to encourage the shedding of dead skin cells and promote smoother skin. Botanicals and antioxidant blends help support a brighter appearance while peptides assist in the look of firmer skin.

• Glycolic acid promotes surface cell turnover.
• Lactic acid offers mild exfoliation for sensitive areas.
• Gigawhite and goji berry deliver antioxidant brightening support.
• Peptides target the appearance of fine lines.

Is this product hydrating or drying?

Although it exfoliates, the serum includes several humectants and barrier-supporting ingredients to help maintain moisture. Hyaluronic acid draws and holds hydration while ceramides, niacinamide, and vitamin E support skin comfort and barrier resilience after exfoliation.

• Hyaluronic acid for moisture retention.
• Niacinamide to strengthen barrier function and even tone.
• Ceramides and vitamin E to help calm and protect skin.

How often should I use the AHA Exfoliating Peel?

Frequency depends on your skin’s tolerance: many people start with once per week and increase gradually as tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen during the day, and pause use if you experience persistent irritation.

• Begin with one application per week and monitor skin response.
• Increase to more frequent use only if no irritation occurs.
• Use daily sunscreen to protect newly revealed skin layers.

What active ingredients make this an anti-aging serum?

Beyond exfoliating acids, the peel contains Matrixyl Synthe’6 peptides and nutrient-rich botanicals to support a smoother-looking complexion. Those actives, combined with antioxidant botanicals, help address visible concerns like fine lines and uneven tone without relying solely on strong actives that can be drying.

• Matrixyl Synthe’6 peptide complex to support the look of firmness.
• Goji berry and vitamin C precursors for antioxidant support.
• Gigawhite plant blend to help brighten appearance.

Who is this for: Mad Hippie AHA Exfoliating Peel is suitable for people seeking a more even-looking complexion and smoother texture who prefer plant-forward formulations. It’s aimed at those comfortable using chemical exfoliants and who will pair treatment with daily sun protection. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and non-GMO, making it appropriate for shoppers looking for conscientious skincare options. If you have active skin conditions or severe sensitivity, consult a dermatologist before starting chemical exfoliation.
