Clearly Corrective™ Daily Re-Texturizing Triple Acid Peel

Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Daily Re-Texturizing Triple Acid Peel is a liquid pre-serum — the step that goes on before your serum, not instead of it. Three acid families work together at low percentages, which is what makes a peel gentle enough for everyday use rather than a weekly event.

Skin type	Normal, dry, combination and oily
Targets	Pores · dullness · uneven texture
Format	Liquid pre-serum peel
Acid blend	5.5% AHAs · 0.18% BHA · 3.0% PHA
Named actives	Salicylic · glycolic · lactic acid, balanced with copper gluconate

What it actually does

• Clears the pore lining. Salicylic acid is the oil-soluble one in the mix — Kiehl's credits it with visibly clarifying pores and refining texture.
• Smooths the surface. Glycolic acid is included for its known smoothing effect on skin.
• Exfoliates without scrubbing. Lactic acid handles the gentler end of the exfoliation, so there is no grit involved.
• Brings back light. The combined aim, per the brand, is boosting radiance and leaving texture visibly softer and smoother.
• Buffered for daily use. Copper gluconate balances the formula, which is why Kiehl's positions this as a peel you can reach for every day instead of sparingly.

Tested results

From a Kiehl's consumer perception study, measured at four weeks of use: 91% agreed their skin appeared smoother, 88% saw skin looking more radiant, and 88% saw pores appear minimised.

How to use

1. Start with clean skin. Cleanse and pat dry first.
2. Dispense into your palms, or soak a cotton pad. Either method works.
3. Spread a thin layer. A light pass over the face is enough — this is not a flooding step.
4. Leave it on. No rinsing. It is formulated to be safe up to twice in a day, morning and evening.
5. Follow with your serum. That is the role of a pre-serum: it preps for what comes next.

Questions

Do I rinse it off like a mask peel?

No. It stays on the skin — the directions are explicit that you do not rinse. Your next product goes straight on top.

Is twice a day too much for a peel?

Kiehl's states it is safe at up to twice daily, which the low acid percentages support. Most people do fine starting once a day and only moving up if their skin stays comfortable.

What does "pre-serum" actually mean?

It sits between cleansing and your serum. It is a preparation layer rather than a treatment you build a routine around on its own.
