A highly effective yet gentle PHA/AHA booster for sensitive skin types and acid beginners. Baby steps got its name for being the most gentle introduction to chemical exfoliation, but gentle doesn’t mean you have to compromise on efficacy. This acid booster was designed to give you the freedom to integrate as you need it into your routine. Baby Steps is tinted pink using a natural colorant derived from sweet potatoes.

Fun-fact: both gluconolactone and lactic acid's larger molecular structure makes this the least irritating chemical exfoliant that still brings exfoliating benefits. Get that better complexion! Carefully! Both molecules' side benefit is hydration. Double yay.

How it’s made:
Chemist Confessions believes in choosing ingredients with the best safety + efficacy profiles. They also believe in full transparency, so you know everything that is in your products, what it does and why it’s there.

Chemical exfoliants:
* 30% Gluconolactone: PHA, a gentle alternative to AHAs. It has demonstrated efficacy to combat effects of photoaging.
* 15% Lactic Acid: AHA that is one size up from glycolic acid, making it the gentler alternative to chemical exfoliation. It’s naturally found in your skin at low levels as a hydrator as well

How to use:
Chemist Confessions acid treatments double as a booster or a mask. For a daily booster treatment – add one drop and mix with your favorite serum. For a weekly potent mask – after cleansing, apply a thin layer to dry skin and wash off after 10 minutes. Avoid eye contact.
