Brilio.net - Peeling serum is a skin care product that is increasingly popular in modern beauty routines. Different from traditional peeling which uses coarse granules to remove dead skin cells, serum peeling works by using certain chemicals to exfoliate dull layers of skin to make it look brighter and smoother.
The active ingredients in peeling serums that are commonly used include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) such as glycolic acid or lactic acid, and beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) such as salicylic acid. AHAs work by exfoliating dead skin layers more superficially, while BHAs can penetrate deeper into pores to clean and reduce inflammation.
Thanks to these benefits, it is not surprising that currently many skincare brands are competing to create peeling serum formulations with various claims. Like the two peeling serum products that are currently viral on social media, thanks to their claims that they can provide instant brightening in one use.
The products in question are Elformula Intensive Peeling Solution and Skintific 12% AHA BHA PHA LHA Peeling Solution Serum. So, to prove this claim, a beauty enthusiast, via his personal TikTok account @cutfebrina, tried to do a battle review of the two peeling serums. Which one do you think is better?

"Those who ask which ones are better, just watch until the end," said the account owner in the description of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @cutfebrina, Thursday (25/7).
Through this upload, the account owner known as Cut Febrina reviewed the two peeling serums by applying them directly to her face. Elformula serum peeling on the right side of her face, and Skintific serum peeling on the left side of her face.
In terms of packaging, Elformula peeling serum uses a pipette like serum in general. Meanwhile, Skintific uses a kind of pressure (you both use a pipette) which is easier to apply to the face.
Furthermore, in terms of texture, both have a red liquid texture. It's just that Skintific has a darker color than Elformula.

"The duration of use is the same, wait 60 seconds, honey, then rinse. But to be honest, with this Skintific, I don't feel any stinging at all. Even if I hit an acne spot, there's no pain at all," said Cut Febrina.
When using the Elformula peeling serum, Cut Febrina felt a slight 'strangling' feeling. Even so, Elformula does not really interfere with comfort when used. Cut Febrina said, the reason Skintific does not have a 'cheeky' effect on the skin is because it contains LHA which is claimed to be suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
After waiting for 60 seconds, Cut Febrina then rinsed her face. As a result, her face feels very clean and looks more glowing. Not only that, her face also looks brighter than before use.

"Both because they are both peeling solutions, honey, I feel like it really gives my skin instant brightening. It's immediately clean, it feels tight, right," continued Cut Febrina.
In conclusion, according to Febrina, both of them have their own 'sect'. Because Cut Febrina has sensitive skin, the peeling serum from Skintific is more worth it for her. The reason is, thanks to the LHA content in the Skintific product, it makes using the peeling serum more comfortable and doesn't give the impression of being 'stuffy'.
