Chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin’s surface to reduce the appearance of blemishes, smooth skin texture, improve radiance, and restore skin health. They are most effective at enhancing cell turnover and improving the appearance on the surface of the skin.

​

A chemical peel involves the application of exfoliating chemicals to the skin, causing the destruction of the epidermis and dermis structures. Depending on a variety of factors, the effects of peels can reach varying depths and alter or damage different structures. Regenerative mechanisms are set in motion in damaged skin layers, the objective being to cause an objective improvement in the structure and, most importantly, the appearance of the skin.

​

The key ingredients are Aha, BHA, Phytic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Polyhydroxy acids (PHA): lactobionic acid & gluconolactone, and soothing & Repairing Plant Complex. Peptides are also infused into the skin together with the acids to reduce wrinkles, ageing and pigmentation.
