Classic scrubs solve this with harsh particles that leave micro-scratches, while chemical peels with strong acids burden the skin barrier and cause irritation. For those seeking exfoliation without depleting the skin, a different approach is needed — one that works with the skin instead of against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAyuna Essence is a cream-in-oil peel that works in three consecutive phases. First, alpha-amino acids — asparagine and glutamic acid — gently penetrate to renew the top cell layer. Then the texture transforms into a grain-free gommage that mechanically but gently polishes the skin when you roll it off. Finally, an oily oleo-essence remains that nourishes the skin and leaves it feeling silky soft. Made Safe® certified and suitable for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRenews the skin in three complementary phases without aggressive acids or scrub particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVisibly refines skin texture and makes pores appear smaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eImmediately gives a radiant, even complexion after a single treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNourishes the skin during and after the peel thanks to olive oil and squalane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupports the skin microbiome with postbiotic lactobacillus ferments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha-amino acids (asparagine and glutamic acid):\u003c\/strong\u003e The heart of the peel. These two naturally occurring amino acids have the same pH as the skin, so they do not irritate like classic alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). They gently break down the bonds between dead skin cells while simultaneously activating the natural renewal process. Glutamic acid is also a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGluconolactone (PHA):\u003c\/strong\u003e A polyhydroxy acid that belongs to the newest generation of chemical exfoliants. Gluconolactone works on a larger molecular scale than AHAs, making it penetrate the skin less deeply and therefore act more gently — ideal for sensitive skin and even eczema-prone skin types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrocrystalline cellulose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A plant-based substance derived from plant cell walls, providing gentle mechanical exfoliation during the product's rolling action. Unlike synthetic scrub particles or microplastics, this cellulose is fully biodegradable and does not use sharp edges that cause micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOlive oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil):\u003c\/strong\u003e A Mediterranean plant oil rich in oleic acid and vitamin E. Olive oil forms the base of the oleo-essence phase: after removing the scrub, a thin nourishing layer remains on the skin that soothes and hydrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSqualane, beta-sitosterol, and soybean oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant lipids that strengthen the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss after exfoliation. Squalane is structurally related to natural skin lipids and is therefore excellently absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactobacillus ferment:\u003c\/strong\u003e A postbiotic ingredient that nourishes and strengthens the skin microbiome. After exfoliation, the microbiome is temporarily sensitive; this ingredient helps restore balance quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLemon water (Citrus Limon Fruit Water):\u003c\/strong\u003e The watery base of the formula, rich in natural fruit acids and antioxidants.

A chemical peel with AHAs or BHAs works with strong acids that disrupt the skin's pH balance. Essence combines the best of both: alpha-amino acids with the same pH as the skin for gentle chemical renewal, plus microcrystalline cellulose for mild mechanical exfoliation — a unique three-phase action without the typical drawbacks of classic peels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow often can I use Essence?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOnce to twice a week is ideal for most skin types. For sensitive skin, you can start with once a week and gradually increase. For thicker or more accustomed skin, up to twice a week. Do not combine Essence on the same day with an exfoliating toner or other acid-based product to avoid overstimulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen do I use Essence in my routine?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEssence is applied after cleansing and toning, before serums and day cream. Many users prefer evening use because the oleo-essence layer can absorb during sleep for extra hydrated, radiant skin the next morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I also use Essence around the eyes and lips?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, the product is suitable for the entire face, including the delicate eye contour and lip contour. The mild formula does not cause irritation in these sensitive areas. However, avoid direct contact with the eyeball and lips themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayuna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56635786232139,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6908\/7307\/files\/e8f48921d58fdaf78876cd7f0509f4074b9b67ba_5b778955-c815-4dba-93b4-7e1cde3483ef.jpg?v=1779225158","url":"https:\/\/webshop.glamskin.nl\/en\/products\/ayuna-essence-80ml","provider":"Glam Skin Webshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
