A High-Strength AHA Peel for Smoother, Clearer-Looking Skin
When dead surface skin builds up, blemish-prone skin can look rough, dull, and uneven. Perfect Trifecta Acne Peel is a concentrated rinse-off exfoliating treatment created for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.
The formula combines 20% glycolic acid and 10% lactic acid to help lift dead surface skin cells, smooth the appearance of uneven texture and improve the look of post-blemish marks. Willow bark complements the exfoliating formula, while sodium hyaluronate and botanical extracts help maintain a more hydrated, conditioned feel.
This is a weekly treatment, not a daily exfoliator.
What Perfect Trifecta Helps Improve
- Helps remove dull, dead surface skin buildup
- Helps smooth the appearance of rough or uneven texture
- Helps improve the look of post-blemish discoloration
- Helps visibly brighten dull-looking skin
- Helps refine the appearance of enlarged or congested-looking pores
- Leaves properly conditioned skin feeling softer and smoother
Why the Formula Works
Glycolic Acid 20% AHA
A concentrated alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates dead surface skin cells. With appropriate use, it helps improve the appearance of dullness, rough texture, and uneven-looking tone.
Lactic Acid 10% AHA
An alpha hydroxy acid that supports surface exfoliation while helping skin look smoother, brighter and more even.
Sodium Hyaluronate 4%
A moisture-binding humectant that helps maintain hydration and reduces the dry, tight feeling that can accompany exfoliation.
Willow Bark
A botanical ingredient selected to complement the formula and support fresher, clearer-looking skin.
Castor Oil and Botanical Extracts
Castor oil, pomegranate, fig and Japanese white birch juice help condition the skin and support a softer, more comfortable feel after rinsing.
Who It Is For
Best suited to experienced exfoliant users with oily, combination, blemish-prone, dull or uneven-looking skin.
This high-strength peel may not be suitable for highly sensitive, reactive or barrier-compromised skin. Patch test before applying it to the entire face.
How to Use
- Use at night on freshly cleansed, completely dry skin.
- Apply a thin, even layer while avoiding the eyes, lips and nostril area.
- Leave on only for the contact time directed on the product packaging. Never exceed 20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Follow with a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer.
- Begin once weekly. If your skin tolerates the peel, use no more than twice weekly with several days between applications.
Do not assume that stronger tingling or a longer application produces better results. Consistent, properly spaced use is more important than aggressive use.
What Not to Use in the Same Routine
On peel nights, do not combine this product with retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, other AHA or BHA exfoliants, exfoliating pads, facial scrubs or other peeling treatments. Keep the rest of the routine simple and hydrating.
Important Precautions
- For external use only.
- Patch test before first use.
- Do not apply to broken, sunburned, irritated, freshly waxed or freshly threaded skin.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes, lips and mucous membranes.
- Rinse immediately if you experience intense burning, pain or unusual discomfort.
- Discontinue use if persistent redness, swelling, blistering or irritation develops.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Consult a qualified professional before use if you are under dermatological care or use prescription skin treatments.

Perfect Trifecta Acne Peel FAQ
What does Perfect Trifecta Acne Peel do?
It exfoliates dead surface skin to help improve the appearance of rough texture, dullness, congested-looking pores and post-blemish marks. It is a cosmetic exfoliating treatment, not an acne medication.
How often should I use it?
Start once weekly. If your skin tolerates the formula, use it up to twice weekly, leaving several days between applications. Do not use it as a daily exfoliator.
Can sensitive skin use this peel?
This formula contains high concentrations of glycolic and lactic acids and may not be appropriate for highly sensitive, reactive or compromised skin. Patch test first and discontinue use if irritation develops.
Can I use it with retinol or other exfoliating acids?
Do not use retinoids, other exfoliating acids, exfoliating pads or facial scrubs in the same routine. Alternating them on different nights can help reduce the risk of over-exfoliation.
Is tingling normal?
Some users may experience mild, temporary tingling. Intense burning, pain, swelling or persistent redness is not a sign that the product is working. Rinse immediately and discontinue use if significant irritation occurs.
Do I need sunscreen while using it?
Yes. Alpha hydroxy acids can increase sun sensitivity. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, limit sun exposure and wear protective clothing while using the peel and for one week afterward.
Make Exfoliation a Focused Step
Perfect Trifecta gives blemish-prone skin a dedicated resurfacing step without adding multiple exfoliants to the same routine. Use it carefully, keep the rest of your peel-night routine simple and support your results with daily sun protection.
