Eraser Shot Glycolic Acid Booster

Arencia Eraser Shot Glycolic Acid Booster is a concentrated treatment for skin prone to clogged pores, uneven texture, comedones, excess sebum, and recurring blemishes. The formula combines several types of chemical exfoliants to work at different levels of the skin, providing a more intensive yet balanced approach to clarifying and smoothing.

At the heart of the formula is Glycolic Acid, an AHA that targets the surface buildup of dead skin cells and helps improve smoothness, radiance, and the appearance of pores. Salicylic Acid (BHA) is lipophilic and particularly beneficial for oilier skin and clogged pores, while Lactobionic Acid (PHA) provides gentler exfoliation with an additional hydrating component.

Together, the AHA + BHA + PHA complex provides multi-level exfoliation care, making it particularly useful for closed comedones, rough and bumpy skin texture, the appearance of “strawberry skin,” and imperfections associated with the buildup of sebum and dead skin cells.

The formula is further enriched with niacinamide, which helps balance the appearance of excess sebum, even out skin tone, and support the skin barrier. Centella Asiatica, Madecassoside, Panthenol, and Allantoin help soothe the skin and reduce the feeling of discomfort that may occur when using acids.

Several forms of hyaluronic acid, Ceramide NP, and Hydrogenated Lecithin provide additional hydration and barrier support. Houttuynia Cordata, Green Tea, Tea Tree, Coptis Japonica, and other botanical extracts complement the formula with antioxidant and soothing care.

According to the brand’s promotional materials, the booster is designed for those who want to reduce buildup & congestion, smooth rough texture, boost skin radiance, and maintain barrier support at the same time. The brand also positions it as suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin; however, due to the presence of multiple acids, it is still recommended to introduce it gradually and monitor how the skin responds.

Did You Know?

The name “Eraser Shot” is no coincidence – the booster is designed as a targeted “spot care” step for areas where clogged pores, closed comedones, and rough texture tend to recur. Unlike a traditional liquid acid toner, its creamy texture allows you to apply it only where needed, such as the nose, chin, cheeks, or areas prone to razor bumps.

Another interesting detail is that the formula contains arginine relatively high on the INCI list, immediately before glycolic acid. In acid-based formulations, arginine is often used as a supporting ingredient to help adjust pH and moderate the harshness of the formula, which may help explain why the product is positioned as a daily booster despite combining several exfoliating acids.

Although the brand also highlights “strawberry skin,” closed comedones, and razor bumps, this is not a treatment for keratosis pilaris or acne. It is a cosmetic exfoliating treatment that can help improve the appearance of roughness, congestion, and uneven skin texture.

Loved By:

Normal, combination, and oily skin. It may also be suitable for sensitive skin that tolerates acids well, especially when introduced gradually.

Targets:

Clogged pores, closed comedones, rough and bumpy texture, excess sebum, blemishes, uneven post-acne texture, “strawberry skin,” razor bumps, dullness, and uneven skin surface.

Who Is It For?

For those who want to specifically target clogged pores, comedones, uneven texture, excess sebum, and recurring blemishes.

It is particularly suitable for those looking for a more intensive chemical exfoliation treatment in a creamy, targeted formula rather than a traditional liquid acid toner.
