Peel Better

Peels can be scary—we hear you. Their promise of an incandescent glow is often overshadowed by the discomforting imagery the name alone conjures. So when La Mer, the brand known for coddling skin with the beauty equivalent of eight-ply cashmere, let us know they were working on a peel that provides gentle exfoliation without stripping the skin, we requested samples be shipped directly from the La Mer lab to the VIOLET LAB.

The bi-phase design separates soothing Miracle Broth and Miracle Broth oils from microbubbles that contain a blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acids, and Polyhydroxy Acid. After gently shaking to combine the formula, we swept the emerald-colored liquid across our clean, damp skin. It felt cool and refreshing with a slight tingle. We followed with our La Mer moisturizer, and to bed we went.

Do you know what's even better than sleeping? Sleeping while exfoliating with La Mer. We woke with the radiant skin of our dreams and any lingering fears from past peel experiences erased from our memories.  Samples of La Mer The Micro Peel immediately went out to the Committee of Industry Experts.

“Absolutely love this peel. And love waking up to skin that is soft and glowy.”

“Exfoliates, nourishes, and protects all at once thanks to the replenishing power of Miracle Broth, a potent combo of acids, hydrating oils, and antioxidant lime tea concentrate.”

“You see immediate results. Not only does it exfoliate with no burning sensation, but the oils give glowy hydration. It's a new staple in my routine!”

With Committee Members loving the results (in fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a tester who isn’t using the overnight treatment weekly), La Mer’s The Micro Peel is officially VIOLET CODE APPROVED and has earned a place on THE SHELVES.
