A good exfoliator can work wonders for your skin, whether it's in the form of a toner, face wash, serum, or wash-off face peel. They can brighten, tighten, and smooth the surface area of your skin, no matter if your skin type is acne-prone, oily, or dry, or whether you experience dullness, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines. Using a chemical peel with a generous concoction of AHAs and BHAs can be a beneficial addition to any skin-care routine.
I like to get my exfoliation from chemical peels, whether it's in a dermatologist's office or trying out at-home versions. While I would describe my skin type as normal and not particularly reactive, I've tried potent formulas like the Obagi Clinical Blue Diamond Resurfacing Peel and the viral favourite The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, and have found them effective but very strong. Knowing that peels can cause more harm than good if used incorrectly, I knew I needed something more forgiving and gentle but just as effective. I came across the Pacifica Glow Baby Aha/Bha Glow Tonic on my weekly skincare browse and had to try it out, especially since my skin has been looking dull and congested.
After just one use, I immediately noticed a difference in my skin's texture and tone — it was subtle but still quite telling. The best part? It's on the gentle end of the spectrum, given the strength of the ingredients in the formula. Keep reading for my in-depth review.
Pacifica Glow Baby Aha/Bha Glow Tonic
Once I took the day off and cleansed my skin, I applied two cotton pads-worth of the Pacifica Glow Baby Aha/Bha Glow Tonic (£15) to my face and used the excess on my neck and chest.
Immediately, I noticed my skin looked brighter and less congested. It felt softer and smoother, yet not dried out or overly sensitive. This formula focuses on dissolving away dead skin cells and clearing out pores.
The tonic contains beta hydroxy acids, alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, hibiscus sabdaria flower extract, and citrus tangerina peel extract that work together to reveal radiant and smooth skin. It even has a fresh, citrus scent.
