M-61 Created A Self-Tanner Version Of Its Best-Selling Peel Treatment

by Zoe Ward

A comprehensive skincare routine in essential. However, by the time you integrate all the products you need to achieve your desired complexion, said routine can become pretty rigorous. The solution to a seriously drawn-out skin regime? Multi-tasking products that manage to streamline multiple steps into one. And this season, the convenient complexion-perfecter you'll want to grab is M-61 PowerGlow Peel Gradual Tan — a seemingly magical new launch that combines powerful exfoliation with pretty, streak-free color for your face.

If you already frequent Bluemercury's stellar beauty boutique to stock up on the store's cult-loved skincare offerings, there's a strong chance you've tried (and subsequently become obsessed with) M-61's PowerGlow Peel pads. Consistently one of Bluemercury's bestselling products, the gentle-yet-effective exfoliating treatment from the store's in-house brand has a near-perfect rating thanks to hundreds of happy users. But if you thought it impossible to make the top-rated product even better, you'd be wrong.

Now, M-61 has released a totally new version of the much-loved product that combines two crucial steps from your skincare routine into one easy-to-use pad — and it's perfectly timed for summer. The brand-new M-61 PowerGlow Peel Gradual Tan, $32 for a pack of ten treatments, is now available exclusively at Bluemercury and ready to give you the smooth, radiant, bronzed skin you'll want this season (and beyond).

The one-step multi-tasker is formulated with the same bestselling PowerGlow formula found in the original pad, which includes five percent glycolic acid and salicylic acid to improve your complexion's tone and texture while fighting fine lines. A dose of chamomile and lavender work to soothe and prevent irritation, while bilberry extract brings a boost of powerful antioxidants to protect the skin for a more even appearance. The result from regular use is skin that's brighter, smoother, and clearer. Yes, please.

But this new product doesn't stop there. Each pad also includes a whopping 7 percent of DHA, a glycerin-derived compound that so happens to be the most effective sunless-tanning ingredient, to impart a natural-looking bronzed glow. The streak-free formula will gradually develop your tan over time with continued use, so you can expect to see the color build after just a few days. Swipe a fresh pad across skin after cleansing and drying your face up to three times a week to start, until you've reached your desired shade — then use as needed to maintain your glow. It's as simple as that.

Summer's finally right around the corner, and it's the undisputed season of gorgeous sun-kissed skin. Get the look for yourself the easy (and damage-free) way with M-61's latest multi-tasker, below.
