KateCeuticals® Resurfacing Overnight Peel with Glycolic Acid, Retinol & Niacinamide

Scrub & Peel · 30 ingredients

An overnight peel that works while you sleep to resurface and renew the complexion, formulated for those concerned with aging, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Glycolic acid promotes cell turnover for smoother, more visibly glowing skin, while ceramide-encapsulated retinol visibly smooths wrinkles and firms with minimal irritation. Niacinamide completes the formula by visibly tightening pores, improving uneven texture, and supporting a stronger skin barrier.
