The Apis Natural Cosmetics Acid 40% facial peeling gel exfoliates the skin with a 40% formula and a pH of 1.5, based on stabilised ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It removes dead skin cells and helps renew the skin, while helping to smooth skin texture, brighten areas of discolouration and even out skin tone. Ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radicals, while tartaric acid helps cleanse and smooth the skin.

It moisturises and helps firm the skin. Apply to a clean, dry face, avoiding the eye area, mouth and nostrils. Leave on for 3–4 minutes, then apply neutralising gel for 1–2 minutes; gently massage and rinse with cold water. For professional use only, under the supervision of a beauty therapist or dermatologist. Do not let the dropper touch the skin, and apply a sunscreen-containing cream after treatment.
