Tuchmaske AHA Peeling

Seventeen ingredients printed in two alphabetised blocks below the first two entries, so position tells you very little here past the sugar maple extract in third. The working set is clear enough: glycolic, tartaric and lactic acid, with niacinamide and sodium ascorbyl phosphate. The sodium hydroxide is buffering the acids, not exfoliating. Lemon peel oil and Parfum supply the scent.

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.

  • 1 declared fragrance allergen

    EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil.

  • 1 essential oil

    Naturally derived, and a frequent trigger for reactive skin: Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil.

  • Phototoxic citrus oils

    Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil can carry furocoumarins, which increase sun sensitivity unless the oil is furocoumarin-free.

  • Exfoliating acids

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

  • 2 concentration-capped ingredients

    EU law sets a maximum for Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Sodium Hydroxide. Products on sale in the EU must comply.

  • 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.

  • Barrier-supporting actives

    Contains Niacinamide, Panthenol, Allantoin, ingredients with reasonable evidence for calming and supporting the skin barrier.
