Nécessaire The Body Peel | 12% AHA/BHA/PHA
Treat your body like your face® — The Body Peel is a leave-on chemical exfoliating serum designed specifically for the skin on your body. This innovative serum-gel formula combines a 12% acid complex with active nourishing ingredients to visibly transform rough, uneven, and textured skin over time.
Action
The Body Peel targets common body skin concerns — keratosis pilaris (KP), ingrown hairs, and rough or uneven skin patches — delivering softer and smoother skin with regular use.
Formula
At the heart of the product is a 12% AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliating acid complex:
• 10% AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) — chemically exfoliates the skin's surface, helping to dissolve dead cells and improve texture
• 1% BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid / Salicylic Acid) — penetrates pores, reducing bumps, ingrown hairs, and imperfections
• 1% PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid / Gluconolactone) — a milder exfoliating acid that simultaneously hydrates and renews the skin's surface
Alongside the acids, three key supporting ingredients nourish and protect the skin:
• Glycerin — a humectant that draws moisture to the skin, preventing excessive dryness caused by acids
• Niacinamide — a multi-functional vitamin B3 that brightens, evens tone, and strengthens the skin barrier
• Resveratrol — a powerful plant-derived antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stressors
The formula is pH-optimized at 4.0–5.0 — the ideal range for maximum effectiveness of exfoliating acids.
Texture and application
The Body Peel has a serum-gel texture. Due to the high concentration of exfoliating acids, the product may feel sticky after application. Mix with a moisturizer to minimize stickiness and facilitate spreading over larger areas of the body. A small amount is sufficient — apply sparingly for best results.
Packaging
The product is packaged in Nécessaire's signature airless pump — designed to protect the integrity of the formula, maintain efficacy over time, and minimize oxidation. The packaging is How2Recycle certified and aligns with the brand's commitments to plastic neutrality and climate neutrality.
