28-Day Renewal
Barrier-Friendly
Third-party tested
self-neutralizing
Your skin naturally renews itself every 28 days, but that process slows as we age. The Pineapple Peel helps support that rhythm by gently clearing away buildup and dull surface cells, revealing smoother, more radiant-looking skin underneath.
A balanced blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids works to refine texture and visibly even tone, while squalane, aloe, and green tea keep your skin hydrated and calm. The self-neutralizing system stops exfoliating at the right time, so you get results without redness or irritation.
The result is skin that looks fresher, feels softer, and stays balanced with daily use.
Start with clean, dry skin. Pump a pea-sized amount of The Pineapple Peel into your hands and apply evenly over your face using your fingertips. Avoid the eye area. Let it absorb fully before layering other products.
No rinsing, no cotton pads, no wasted product. Just apply, let dry, and move on with your night.
✨ Use nightly or every other night depending on your skin’s tolerance. With consistent use, your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and more balanced within one 28-day renewal cycle.
Sunburn Alert: This product contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week after stopping use.
It is a AHA/BHA peel that self-neutralizes. That means the exfoliants deactivate themselves once they have done their job, so you get results without the risk of over-exfoliating. No timers. No rinsing. Just apply, let dry, and move on with your night.
Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, this daily exfoliator is the product that gave me my glow back, and helps me keep it. It is the definition of getting your beauty sleep!

Your one-step shortcut to clear skin
This leave-on chemical exfoliator blends glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids to smooth texture and unclog pores without redness or downtime. Most exfoliators make you choose between results and irritation, but our self-neutralizing formula stops exfoliating at the exact right moment.
It protects your skin barrier while delivering results you can see. No rinsing, no scrubbing-just a nightly glow.
The Science: Respecting the 28-Day Cycle
Harsh one-time peels can shock the system. The Pineapple Peel takes a science-backed approach that supports your skin’s natural 28-day renewal rhythm.
Our precision blend gently resurfaces the skin, while Squalane, Aloe, and Green Tea provide a cushion of hydration. It is the perfect balance of potency (10% Glycolic Acid) and barrier protection. Follow with our Night Cream to lock it all in.
The Science: Protecting Your "Brick Wall" Barrier
Think of your skin like a brick wall. Its job is to keep good things in (like moisture) and block bad things out (like UV rays and pollution).
Most traditional face scrubs and high-strength peels work by attacking this wall, stripping away entire layers of skin to get immediate results. While this feels smooth at first, it often destroys your moisture barrier, leaving your skin vulnerable to irritation and damage.
The Pineapple Peel is designed to work differently. Instead of knocking down the wall, it gently dissolves the bonds (glue) that holds dead skin cells down. This allows dull skin to lift off gradually, matching the natural pace of your skin's renewal cycle. You get the deep exfoliation of a chemical peel, but your protective barrier stays perfectly intact.

-
Patch Test (Mandatory): Before first use, apply a dime-sized amount behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to ensure no irritation occurs.
-
Starter Regimen: Start by using 3-5 times per week for the first two weeks. This allows your skin barrier to adjust. You can then increase to daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can. Unlike harsh scrubs or intense peels, this formula is designed for daily, leave-on use. You may experience a small tingle- but no burning!
The Pineapple Peel contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. We always recommend using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and limiting direct sun exposure while using the product and for a week after you stop.
✨ Consistent daily SPF use helps maintain your results and keeps your skin protected as it renews.
-
You may experience a slight tingle but no burning sensation (and it is short lived). With prolonged use this tingle feeling usually goes away completly.
-
Nope. The Pineapple Peel is leave-on by design. It self-neutralizes, so it stops exfoliating without water. No rinsing, no burning, no risk of overdoing it.
-
Most acid toners aren’t designed to be left on without buffering, and many exfoliating serums are too strong for daily use. The Pineapple Peel is different: it’s calibrated for daily application, self-neutralizes, and includes calming ingredients like squalane, aloe, and green tea to buffer the acids in real time.
-
Many Customers notice a difference after the first night. Most customers notice smoother texture and more glow in the first 1–2 weeks. Deeper results like more even tone and fewer breakouts usually show up around week 4–6 with consistent use.
-
Three big things:
- Leave-on formula (no rinsing)
- Self-neutralizing acids that know when to quit
- Balanced daily use without irritation or downtime
-
Honestly, most. The formula was tested on dry, oily, sensitive, and combo skin, including those new to acids. It’s ideal for people who want results without the downtime. If you’re dealing with texture, dullness, or occasional breakouts, this is your new go-to.
-
Your skin naturally renews itself about every 28 days. During that time, new skin cells form, rise to the surface, and replace older ones. As we age, this process slows down (sometimes taking 60 to 90 days) which can leave skin looking dull or uneven.
The Pineapple Peel is designed to support that natural renewal rhythm with gentle daily exfoliation, helping your skin shed buildup and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion that feels fresh and balanced again.
-
Patch Test Recommended
If you’re new to acids, retinoids, or active skincare, start slow. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm or behind the ear for 24 hours before first use.
Sun Protection Is Essential
Acids and retinoids can increase sun sensitivity. Use broad-spectrum SPF daily while using this product and for one week after discontinuing.
Avoid Mixing Too Many Actives
To protect your skin barrier, avoid using additional exfoliating acids, scrubs, peel pads, or high-strength retinoids on the same day you use this product.
Pregnancy and Nursing
If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare provider before use, especially when using products containing retinol or strong exfoliating acids.
Not for Broken or Compromised Skin
Do not apply over irritated, peeling, or freshly shaved skin.
Expected Sensations
Mild tingling is normal. Burning, stinging, or persistent redness is not. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
