Q: What is a micro-peel and how is this different from a scrub?
A: A micro-peel uses chemical exfoliants (acids) rather than physical abrasives to gently dissolve and lift dead skin cells from the delicate lip surface. Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Gluconolactone (PHA) deliver a no-scrub exfoliating effect that is far gentler and more effective than physical scrubs, making it ideal for the sensitive lip area.

Q: What is the difference between AHA and PHA in this formula?
A: AHAs (Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid) are water-soluble acids that exfoliate the surface of the lip skin, refine texture, and promote cell renewal. PHA (Gluconolactone) is a larger-molecule acid that works more gently on the skin's surface, making it suitable for sensitive skin while still delivering effective exfoliation and additional hydrating benefits.

Q: How often should I use this product?
A: Use every other night as part of your evening routine. This frequency allows the resurfacing acids to work effectively while giving your delicate lip skin adequate time to renew between applications.

Q: Can I use this with the Obagi Lip Therapy Soothe & Protect SPF30?
A: Yes, these two products complement each other perfectly as a complete lip care routine. Use the AHA+PHA Micro-Peel every other evening to resurface and renew, and follow with or alternate with a hydrating lip treatment. Use the Lip Therapy SPF30 daily in the morning for hydration and sun protection.

Q: What clinical results support this product?
A: In clinical trials, 97% agreed their lips felt smoother immediately after application, 94% agreed lips felt soft immediately, 97% saw dryness relieved after 2 weeks, and 94% noticed lips looked and felt replenished after 2 weeks.

Q: Will the acids irritate my lips?
A: The formula is dermatologist-tested and suitable for all lip types. The inclusion of PHA (Gluconolactone) alongside the AHAs makes the formula gentler than AHA-only products. Shea Butter, Argan Oil, and Opuntia Tuna Fruit Extract provide soothing and nourishing support. If you have very sensitive lips, start with once-weekly use and gradually increase frequency.

Q: Can this help with lip pigmentation or discolouration?
A: Yes, regular use of the resurfacing acids can help reduce dullness, improve lip colour clarity, and soften pigmentation caused by dryness or buildup, revealing a more even, naturally vibrant lip tone over time.

Q: Should I follow with a lip moisturiser after use?
A: Yes, it is recommended to follow with a hydrating lip treatment after application if desired. The Obagi Lip Therapy Soothe & Protect SPF30 or any nourishing lip balm can be applied after the micro-peel has absorbed for at least one minute.

Q: Is this suitable for post-procedure lips?
A: If you have recently undergone a lip procedure, consult your practitioner before use. The resurfacing acids may be too active for freshly treated lips. The Obagi Lip Therapy Soothe & Protect SPF30 with Calendula Extract is better suited for immediate post-procedure care.

Q: Do you ship internationally from Ireland and what about customs?
A: Yes, we ship worldwide from our Irish facility. We regularly serve customers in the UK, United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Australia, France, Netherlands, Canada, and many other countries throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Please note that customers are responsible for any local customs charges which are outside of our control.
