Bielenda Professional X-Foliate Basic Shikimic Acid 15% 5ml

Effective exfoliation without irritation

This 15% shikimic acid solution is a modern solution for skin requiring texture improvement, sebum regulation, and tone improvement, while maintaining high skin tolerance. Shikimic acid has exfoliating properties comparable to those of strong AHA acids, but is much gentler – it does not dry out, irritate, or cause a feeling of roughness.

Clinical studies confirm that a 5% shikimic acid solution has effects similar to 50% glycolic acid, while remaining exceptionally gentle on the skin.
