Hydrating

Applies Thinly

Not Irritating

I absolutely do not recommend this for sensitive skin. It completely destroyed my skin's barrier.

I bought it based on the claims that it's affordable and good for skin care, but my face ended up completely messed up.

글라이콜릭애씨드 크림

When applied, my skin felt stinging in the sunlight, and it was difficult to use frequently.

I definitely felt that my skin looked better the day after using it!

Even when used alone after toning, it does not feel lightweight at all! Highly recommended for standalone use!!

There are no downsides...
It's too good ㅠㅠ

Apieu Glycolic Acid Cream

♥︎ The Apieu Glycolic Acid Cream, a chemical exfoliator, gently removes dead skin cells without irritation!! It removes dead skin cells without any irritation at all (•̀ᴗ•́)و


♥︎ Usage Experience
It applies very moisturizing and soft, and the moisturizing effect lasts for a very long time, so you don't need to apply additional cream!!!

♥︎ Features and Differentiation
Most exfoliators only provide irritation without effectively removing dead skin, but this product, despite its affordable price, is very effective, which surprised me! Now that the seasons are changing and your makeup starts to flake, this would be a great product to use ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


1. Not Recommended for Morning Use
Given the effective peeling action, I'm a bit concerned about using it in the morning, even though I didn't experience any issues.

2. Seems to be Discontinued
It seems the product is no longer widely available, which is a shame.


* Moisturizing Peeling Cream that Softens Skin

1. Application and Finish
It applied thinly and evenly, and left a moisturized, smooth finish that I really liked.

2. Gentle Peeling Effect
It didn't completely strip away my skin, but it gently smoothed out my skin texture and visibly improved the appearance of my skin without being overly irritating. This was a great benefit, as many 'gentle daily peeling' products don't actually provide any exfoliation or improvement. 


There is a bit of a sticky and tacky feeling when I apply it. Also, sunscreen is an absolute must to use along with it! If you're not diligent, you can end up with blemishes..

It seems to be very effective in managing dead skin. Since I have thick skin, I apply it generously every evening, and after a few days, my face is so smooth and radiant when I put on makeup in the morning.

Don't use this cream together with vitamin products.

There's not really anything bad about it. The AHA and BHA concentrations are a bit low, but that's just the Korean standard being strict. It's still great for daily use without any irritation.

The Apieu cream series is amazing! I love them all. But the Cica cream became my holy grail product, so I moved on from this AHA cream. However, this AHA cream is still one of my top products for dealing with my flaky skin.

If you don't feel the effects just from using this, try exfoliating your skin once before applying it, like I did. The next day, your skin will be super smooth and your makeup will apply beautifully~

Using it too often can make your skin sensitive, so I only apply it a bit thickly before bed about twice a week~

At first, I wasn't sure if it was good, but when I applied it the second time after using a peeling gel to remove dead skin cells, and then applied it a bit thickly before going to bed, my skin felt really smooth the next day!!

I used it and then the next day, I had breakouts on my face. ㅠㅠ

This is a type that provides light moisturization. It might be lacking in the winter, but it's a good type to use in the summer.

For very sensitive skin, it might be a good idea to lightly wipe off the product after an hour or two of application.
It can also be used on the elbows and knees.

Glycolic acid can be considered an exfoliating product for dry skin, so it tends to have a somewhat oily texture. Depending on your skin type and preferred formula, you may find it to be heavy.

This product is a moisturizing cream with a lightweight exfoliating effect. When applied lightly and evenly, it is quickly absorbed, and the next day, you can feel your skin become much smoother after cleansing. Since it contains exfoliating ingredients, it cannot be used daily, but using it once or twice a week in the evening is sufficient.
I'm worried that it might be discontinued, as the website keeps having sales on it.

It's not effective for managing my dead skin. I'm not sure about the effectiveness.

This is a cream that I use without any issues. There is no irritation or breakouts.

The fragrance is shocking. There is an overt medicinal smell when you first apply it. Additionally, the moisturizing power is very low, so you need to do more intensive skincare before applying a cream.

This seems to be the best daily item for those with a lot of dead skin. It contains both AHA and BHA that melt away dead skin, but the concentrations are low so it's not irritating. My skin doesn't have any trouble issues normally, so I just focus on dead skin management, and the easy-to-apply formula is great for that. It's also very affordable, so I can use it generously.

For those with sensitive skin, it's recommended to apply the cream or lotion first, and then use this product only on oily or peeling areas.

It has a slightly strange, slightly sour or medicinal scent. The cream texture is also somewhat transparent.

This product gives a radiant glow to the face after application and overnight use.
However, as it contains some irritating ingredients, I recommend using it only about once a week.
When experiencing peeling, just apply it to the affected areas and then follow up with a moisturizing cream.
When I used to use AHA-based creams, I found that applying an essence or moisturizer first helped reduce irritation.
Overall, the results seem quite good.
