| Verdict | A no-nonsense multi-acid peel concentrate for under $25 — stronger than Versed Weekend Glow, milder than P50. | NIVEA's triple-acid night exfoliator — AHA (glycolic acid) + BHA (salicylic acid) + PHA (gluconolactone) combined with niacinamide and licorice root extract in a $13 peeling cream. This is Beiersdorf's pharmaceutical R&D applied to the acne-and-texture category that The Ordinary made mainstream. The triple-acid approach covers every exfoliation pathway: glycolic resurfaces, salicylic clears pores from inside, and gluconolactone (the gentlest acid) adds surface-level renewal without deep penetration. Panthenol and licorice root buffer irritation. Night-use only — the acids increase photosensitivity. At drugstore pricing, this is the most sophisticated multi-acid peel available at dm or Rossmann. |
