Dr. Rimpler

SPECIAL Peel AHA

Sixteen ingredients, and the interesting thing is the company glycolic acid keeps: bilberry fifth, then sugarcane, bitter orange, lemon and silver maple - the five plant extracts traditionally cited as natural sources of fruit acids, all declared alongside the synthetic glycolic acid at six. Decyl oleate second makes it an oil-rich peel rather than a stripping gel.

What stands out in the list

Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.

  • Contains fragrance

    Listed as Parfum/Fragrance, which can stand for dozens of undisclosed aroma chemicals. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of cosmetic contact allergy.

  • Exfoliating acids

    Contains Glycolic Acid. Use sunscreen the following day; EU law caps these.

  • No drying alcohol

    No ethanol, alcohol denat. or isopropyl alcohol in the list. Fatty alcohols such as cetearyl alcohol are not drying and do not count.

  • Nothing flagged for pregnancy

    No ingredient on this list is one our encyclopaedia marks as avoided or used with caution in pregnancy. That is not the same as a clearance, so check with your midwife or doctor.
