Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your normal skin, with glycolic and lactic acids smoothing texture and regulating desquamation, while bisabolol soothes redness and irritation.
- The presence of grape seed oil and squalane provides nourishment and hydration, complementing the exfoliating action for overall skin comfort.
- The formula is safe for your sensitive skin, containing soothing bisabolol and lacking harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your exfoliant PM once a week to help with redness and irritation. Start slowly and only increase frequency if your skin feels happy and comfortable.
- Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toner , but always before your moisturizer . This ensures the product absorbs properly into the skin.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin without rubbing . Let it absorb for a minute before moving on.
- Since your skin is sensitive , apply the exfoliant on completely dry skin for the best tolerance. This helps prevent any extra stinging or discomfort.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the delicate eye area .

Questions and answers
What makes Caudalíe Vinoperfect Glycolic Peel Mask a great fit for sensitive skin?
This mask is a great fit because it offers moderate exfoliation with glycolic and lactic acids to smooth texture while bisabolol soothes redness and irritation. Squalane and grape seed oil provide extra nourishment and hydration to keep your skin comfortable and safe.
Which ingredients make this exfoliant a good fit for sensitive skin?
This exfoliant is a great fit for sensitive skin because it combines gentle exfoliating acids with soothing bisabolol, grape seed oil, and squalane. These nourishing ingredients help keep skin calm and comfortable while smoothing its texture.
What does Glycolic Acid do for sensitive skin?
Glycolic acid can be too harsh for sensitive skin, leaving it dry and irritated, so this type of skin needs a gentler exfoliating ingredient and calming plant extracts to keep the skin barrier safe and comfortable.
What does Viniferine do for sensitive skin?
Viniferine helps calm sensitive skin by reducing redness and soothing irritation while protecting against daily stress. It may also help keep your skin looking even and bright without feeling heavy or causing stinging.
Where does this exfoliant go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This exfoliant treatment goes in your evening routine once a week. It helps smooth skin texture while keeping sensitive skin calm with soothing ingredients.
Can I use this exfoliant with retinol, and in what order?
It is best not to use this mask in the same routine as retinol, as combining two strong treatments may easily dry out or irritate sensitive skin. Instead, apply retinol on separate nights or use this exfoliating mask once a week on a night when you skip retinol to keep your skin calm and smooth.
How often should I use this exfoliant?
Start by using this exfoliant once a week, and if your skin feels comfortable and you see good results, you can carefully use it more often. This gentle approach helps smooth texture while keeping your skin calm and nourished.

Can this exfoliant clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
This exfoliant is unlikely to clog pores or trigger breakouts for sensitive skin, as reviewers rarely mention acne issues and the formula includes soothing ingredients like bisabolol. It helps smooth texture safely while keeping skin comfortable.
Is this exfoliant fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol and parfum). Cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
