Philosophy's Microdelivery Dream Peel 6% AHA/BHA Refining Gel is a hard-working skincare product that can be applied overnight to reveal healthier-looking skin. The peel targets a variety of common skincare concerns, including everything from pores and fine lines to dullness and uneven texture.

The [easy-to-apply gel product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightening-peeling-gel) has an applicator that includes a spatula, so that it can easily be smoothed across all areas of the face, avoiding the sensitive eye area. As the peel is designed to be [used overnight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuja-brightening-sleeping-mask), it dries clear and stays in place to avoid transferring the product to bedding.

The skincare product is packed with beneficial ingredients, including [exfoliating AHAs and BHAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiacid-peel), hibiscus extract and a probiotic complex. As well as helping to look and feel smoother overnight, the gel peel is said to offer long-term benefits.
