About the product

BAKE 12% AHA BHA Night Exfoliating Serum for Pore Refining, Smooth Skin & Cell Turnover

Introducing the Bake 12% AHA BHA Night Exfoliating Serum - a dermatologist-co-created, multi-acid exfoliating treatment engineered to deliver visibly smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin while you sleep. Unlike single-acid or dual-acid serums that offer surface-level exfoliation, this serum features a precisely balanced four-acid system - glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and salicylic acid - working at multiple depths of the skin for comprehensive renewal with significantly less irritation than harsh liquid AHA toners. At 7% glycolic acid (sourced as glycolic acid 70%), this serum delivers the most potent AHA at an efficacious concentration to accelerate surface cell turnover, refine uneven texture, and brighten dull skin. Paired with 3% lactic acid, it adds a gentler, hydrating layer of exfoliation that softens skin while supporting moisture retention - making it far more comfortable than glycolic-only formulas. Together, these two AHAs form the backbone of the formula's resurfacing action. 1% mandelic acid, a larger-molecule AHA with exceptional tolerability, adds controlled exfoliation with a focus on improving skin tone and texture - particularly beneficial for acne-prone or sensitive skin types. Completing the acid complex is 1% salicylic acid (BHA), an oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve sebum buildup, reduce congestion, and visibly minimize the appearance of pores and blemishes. This dual AHA and BHA action addresses both surface texture and deep pore clarity simultaneously. What truly sets this serum apart is its serum-cream hybrid texture - unlike watery, stripping acid toners, this formula is cushioned with emollients, including shea butter, squalane, and cosmacol EBL, preventing immediate moisture loss and keeping the skin barrier intact during active exfoliation. 5% niacinamide strengthens the barrier, refines pore appearance, and evens tone, while dl-panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) soothes and hydrates to maintain comfort throughout the night. 1% specwhite DL-MA (mandelic acid complex) and 1.5% salsphere even provide an additional brightening and tone-correcting benefit, supported by 0.5% licorice root extract to calm irritation and reduce dark spots. 0.5% zinc PCA targets excess sebum and blemishes, and 0.3% allantoin conditions and soothes for a calm, healthy skin surface. The formula is pH-optimized for nighttime efficacy, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic -suitable for acne-prone, oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. With consistent use, expect visibly refined texture, unclogged, and tightened pores, improved skin clarity and radiance, reduced dark spots and uneven tone, and smoother, brighter-looking skin - all within 3 weeks.

Features:

• Balanced 4-acid system for multi-depth exfoliation: Face serum that combines 7% glycolic acid, 3% lactic acid (AHAs), 1% mandelic acid, and 1% salicylic acid (BHA) for comprehensive skin renewal at multiple levels - surface texture, skin tone, pore congestion, and sebum control - all in one clinically stable, pH-optimized night serum. Results visible in 3 weeks with consistent use.
• Serum-cream hybrid - exfoliates without stripping: Unlike thin, watery AHA toners that leave skin feeling tight and dehydrated, this unique serum-cream texture is cushioned with shea butter, squalane, and cosmacol EBL to prevent moisture loss during exfoliation. Skin feels soft, smooth, and comfortable - not raw or stripped - by morning.
• Brightening complex with specwhite, licorice, and salsphere even: Features 1% specwhite DL-MA, 1.5% salsphere even, and 0.5% licorice root extract alongside 1% green tea extract for antioxidant protection - targeting dark spots, uneven tone, and dullness while soothing active inflammation for a visibly clearer, more even complexion.
• 5% niacinamide, zinc PCA, and allantoin for barrier and clarity support: Enriched with 5% niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier and refine pores, 0.5% zinc PCA to control sebum and blemishes, and 0.3% allantoin to calm and condition - making this safe and effective even for acne-prone and sensitive skin types.
