What makes a glycolic acid cleanser different?

A glycolic acid cleanser works on two levels: it removes surface impurities like dirt and makeup while chemically exfoliating to lift away dead skin cells. The GlycoPeptide Radiance Cleanser by Céleste Lumière® harnesses glycolic acid’s resurfacing power alongside peptides such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-18 to promote smoother texture and improved elasticity. This means you’re not just using a dead skin remover—you’re also supporting the skin’s resilience and appearance over time.

Key ingredients that deliver results

• Glycolic acid (AHA): A potent exfoliant that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin. In a cleanser format, it provides gentle daily resurfacing when used correctly.
  
  
• Peptide Complex: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-18 help maintain tone and the look of firmness, complementing exfoliation so the skin feels both smooth and supported.
  
  
• Sea Vege Complex: A marine-derived blend that hydrates and conditions, preventing the dryness sometimes associated with chemical exfoliation.
  
  
• Vitamins C & E and antioxidants: These protect against environmental stressors and promote a more luminous complexion.
  
  

All together, these ingredients make the GlycoPeptide Radiance Cleanser by Céleste Lumière® a true glyco cleanser—one that transforms daily cleansing into a skin-refining ritual.

How to use the GlycoPeptide Radiance Cleanser by Céleste Lumière® (Three levels of customization)

One of the standout features of the GlycoPeptide Radiance Cleanser by Céleste Lumière® is its flexible, multilevel approach. This makes the product suitable for a wide range of skin types and tolerance levels while still functioning as a reliable dead skin remover.

Level 1 — Adjust & Prepare (Daily, gentle)

Wet face and hands, dispense a small amount, and massage gently over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly. This level cleanses, balances pH, and gives light chemical exfoliation—perfect if you’re new to AHAs or have sensitive skin.

Level 2 — Intensify & Exfoliate (Targeted resurfacing)

Apply to dry skin and massage to allow glycolic acid to interact more directly with the skin’s surface. This increases exfoliation and helps refine texture and pores. Use as tolerated—some users alternate this method a few times per week.

Level 3 — Enhance & Illuminate (Advanced resurfacing)

Pair the cleanser with a gentle mechanical buffing tool for tactile exfoliation combined with glycolic action. This is for experienced users seeking extra radiance; always proceed cautiously and monitor for sensitivity.

Incorporating into your Céleste Lumière® routine

To maximize benefits, use the GlycoPeptide Radiance Cleanser by Céleste Lumière® as the first step in your Céleste Lumière® regimen. After cleansing, follow with targeted products like the PeptidePro Eye Renewal Serum, Rejuvenation Elixir Serum, Rejuvenation Elixir Crème, or RejuvaFirm Éclat Lift Serum. Finish treatments with the Lumière Radiant PhytoCollagen Mask as needed. Because this is an alpha hydroxy acid cleanser, always apply sunscreen during the day and maintain sun protection for a full week after increases in exfoliation intensity.
