Skincare Secrets 2: Review of Dot & Key PHA and Bakuchiol DAILY PEEL RESURFACING MILK SERUM.
I am basically an oily and sensitive skinned girl . I have forever being fighting the battle for achieving healthy glowing skin. Dot & Key PHA and Bakuchiol DAILY PEEL RESURFACING MILK SERUM is a relatively new addition to my skin care arsenal and it’s a bomb of a serum! Read on to know more.
Like most people blessed with oily skin I used to shy away from all forms of moisturisers, creams and sunscreens. Add to that the regular sprinkling of acne which mixed things up pretty damn well! Overall you can say that my relationship with my skin in my teens was a bit complicated 🙄.
Then I became a geologist. This involved spending long hours in the sun to figure out the mysteries within rocks and mountains. So saving my skin after the constant exposure to sun and dust became an even greater challenge. I have grown to understand the critical importance of both sun protection as well as moisturization. Along with these two regular exfoliation, both chemical and physical, has played a big role for my skin health. The Dot and Key PHA and Bakuchiol DAILY PEEL RESURFACING MILK SERUM is a relatively new addition in my chemical exfoliation kitty and it’s a winner. Its ideal for sensitive skin and gives a good result.
I am on my second bottle of this serum. Read more about the ingredients and the serum here.
This serum has natural botanical extracts like chamomile, white tea, aloe vera to calm the skin and hyaluronic acid to hydrate. The exfoliation is done by PHA which is polyhydroxy acid which is a gentlef alternative to AHAs and BHAs. You can read more about PHAs at https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/phas-for-your-skin-the-facts-behind-the-beauty-hype. Bakuchiol is a new super ingredient which is said to be a safer natural retinol alternative. Read about it here https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/bakuchiol-retinol-alternative .
My experience with this serum
This serum has a light milky consistency. It is quickly absorbed by my cleansed and toned skin. I apply it mainly during my night routine. I top of with a gel based moisturiser and a sleeping mask. And I wake up to baby soft and glowing skin. The best part is, it has not broken me out even once. In fact it has helped to calm down many a bumps with pimple forming potential. I use this serum 3 times a week on alternate days. I try to use sunscreen religiously , even when I am at home. Because chemical exfoliation can make the skin more prone to tanning.
To sum in all up….

I am also an oily and sensitive-skinned woman. I’ve been neglecting my skin since the pandemic started (because I was seeing an aesthetician regularly for facials) but, amazingly, my skin is still flourishing.
I think it is tough to write a review of anything – but you do such a great job providing a nice balance of information and experience in this post. I hope you get a lot of sales!
I am intrigued .Daily peels scare me because of the increased tanning effect .As you mentioned I will need to use a sunblock
Nice review providing personal user experience. It is detailed and well written 🙂
I never used this but liked the honest review you have shared!!
I’ve been hearing good things about Dot & Key products for a while now. It’s time I invested in something suitable for my sensitive skin. Your review is so convincing that I think I should try this one. Thank you for the close up photographs of the packaging. I am one of those who reads labels from top to bottom before buying!
