Glycolic Acid

  • Glycolic acid is effective in penetrating the skin because of its small molecular structure, allowing it to easily pass through the skin's natural barrier.

At-Home Chemical Peels

  • An important consideration when using at-home chemical peels is to follow instructions carefully to avoid over-exfoliation or irritation.

Sensitive Skin

  • A lactic acid peel is best suited for easily irritated and dry skin due to its gentle and non-irritating properties.

Salicylic Acid Peels

Combination Peels

  • A customized peel uses citric acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and retinol to improve skin quality.

Rejuvenating Peels

  • A retinol peel contains retinol and is ideal for rejuvenating and refreshing the complexion.

Cell Turnover
