"I love an acid — glycolic, salicylic, retinoic, I adore them all. But lately my skin has been a little less tolerant of the stronger acids in my medicine cabinet. So I'm using Lancôme Rénergie Multi-Action Milk Peel ($80) instead. It exfoliates with lipo hydroxy acid while hydrating with vitamin E, linseed extract and micelles. And it's called a "milk peel" — can you think of a more gentle sounding peel? I'll wait. After I use it, my skin feels silky, and I swear it's smoother after just a few weeks. Maybe I don't need a strong acid after all." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director, Group Nine Media
