What the peel does
Vivier lists three benefits: it gently exfoliates with a blend of AHAs, BHAs and enzymes to remove dead surface skin cells and refine texture, hydrates to promote a smoother, more supple-looking complexion, and reveals brighter, clearer, more radiant-looking skin. The brand describes it as working on six key ingredients in combination.
Key ingredients
Vivier lists tropical enzymes (bromelain and papain), glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinol, vitamin C and peptides. Note the retinol, which is why this is an evening product and why it should not be stacked with your other retinol on the same night.
Who it is for
Skin that looks dull and uneven and wants a periodic reset rather than a daily acid. Because it contains both acids and retinol, it needs a place in the schedule rather than being layered onto everything else.
How to use it
A generous layer to face and neck, left on without rinsing. Vivier says two to three times per week on non-consecutive evenings. Daily sunscreen is essential when you are using it.
How it fits with your treatments at Bar Beauty
An at-home peel is not the same as a professional peel, and it should not be used in the days around one. We will schedule it around any in-clinic resurfacing you have booked.

Frequently asked questions
Do I rinse the peel off?
No. Vivier states it does not require rinsing. Apply a generous layer to face and neck and leave it on.
How often can I use it?
Two to three times per week on non-consecutive evenings, per Vivier.
What is in it?
Vivier lists tropical enzymes (bromelain and papain), glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinol, vitamin C and peptides.
Can I use it with my retinol?
It already contains retinol, so it should not simply be layered onto another retinol night. We will fit it into your schedule properly at the consultation.
Is it the same as a peel in clinic?
No. This is an at-home formulation. Professional peels use different concentrations and are performed under supervision, and the two should not be used in the same few days.
