Avène Hyaluron Activ Procedure Peeling serum 10% glycolic acid 30ml Canada

Three dermatological actives, high concentration

10% glycolic acid is the gold-standard exfoliant: it drives cell renewal and refines skin texture from the first night. 0.05% retinal - which Avène describes as 3 times more effective than retinol - works on wrinkles. And 0.2% fragmented hyaluronic acid is small enough to penetrate deeply, which the brand reports as 3.5 times more effective for hydration. Add 86% natural-origin ingredients and a vegan formula, and you have Avène's aesthetic-clinic expertise condensed into a single step.

Measured results, wearable texture

Avène reports a brighter complexion and softened fine lines after 1 night, and after 28 nights an effect the brand equates to 3 professional peels. The practical half matters just as much: the texture is non-sticky with instant absorption, which is what makes an evening routine sustainable, and the absence of fragrance means sensitive skin has one less thing to react to. Tolerance rests on three decades of retinaldehyde work.

Instrumental test on 21 volunteers after 1 night of application. Instrumental test on 21 volunteers after 28 nights of application. In vitro test. Ex vivo study. Formulated without animal-derived ingredients, in line with Avène's cosmetic charter.
