LHA (lipohydroxy acid) is a derivative of salicylic acid with a slower penetration profile: it works closer to the skin surface, exfoliates more gradually, and is significantly less irritating than standard BHA. Combined with Anua's 70 percent heartleaf base and glycerin-rich hydrators, this is one of the gentlest effective peeling gels in Korean skincare. At $24.96 for 120ml, the pricing is competitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeeling gels in Korean skincare use a combination of cellulose polymers and mild acids to lift dead skin cells without abrasive scrubbing. The result is the distinctive \"skin pill\" texture (tiny rolls of gel that form as you massage). Anua's version adds LHA at meaningful concentration for actual chemical exfoliation alongside the mechanical rolling, plus heartleaf to calm the inflammation response that exfoliation typically triggers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLHA exfoliates at the surface level, loosening dead skin cells without deep penetration that drives irritation. The gel polymers roll up dead cells and product residue during massage. Heartleaf extract calms inflammation during and after exfoliation. Glycerin and panthenol prevent post-exfoliation tightness. The result is smoother, brighter skin with reduced texture and subtly improved tone after 2 to 3 weeks of twice-weekly use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitive skin wanting to exfoliate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primary target.

Massage gently for 30 to 60 seconds; do not over-massage, which can cause irritation. The gel will form small rolls as it lifts dead skin. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer. Use 2 to 3 times per week maximum. Avoid layering with other exfoliants (AHA, BHA, retinol) on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes LHA different from BHA?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLHA is a lipophilic derivative of salicylic acid, with a larger molecular structure. This means slower penetration, exfoliation closer to the surface, and less irritation. BHA penetrates deeper into pores, good for blackhead work but more irritating. For surface smoothing and sensitivity: LHA. For deep pore congestion: BHA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the \"peeling\" visible?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the distinctive skin pills are visible and part of the sensory experience. They're a mix of lifted dead skin, product, and cellulose polymers. This visual feedback is what makes peeling gels popular, even though chemical action is where most of the actual exfoliation happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does it compare to Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent exfoliation models. Paula's Choice is leave-on BHA for daily use. Anua is rinse-off LHA for twice-weekly use. For continuous pore work: Paula's Choice. For gentle periodic exfoliation: Anua. Many routines include both, on non-overlapping days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it on sensitive skin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with reduced frequency (once per week to start). If you tolerate it without redness, move to twice weekly. If you experience stinging or flaking, it's not compatible with your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafe during pregnancy?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLHA is a salicylic acid derivative, which most providers recommend pausing during pregnancy at treatment concentrations. Confirm with your OB-GYN. Rinsed-off formats are lower risk than leave-on serums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow with Anua Heartleaf 70 Soothing Collagen Mask on exfoliation days for enhanced calming.
