What Is A Skin Peel?

Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin. This solution works to exfoliate the surface layers, causing them to peel off and reveal newer, healthier skin underneath. Peels can range from mild to deep intensity depending on the nature of the skin concern and the desired outcome

Glow Peel

A versatile resurfacing treatment, the Glow Peel blends salicylic acid (7%), lactic acid (7%), resorcinol (7%), soy amino acids, and yeast-derived oligopeptides. This powerful combination aims to diminish signs of aging and hyperpigmentation while minimizing recovery time. It's perfect for those seeking to reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines, enhance exfoliation, and achieve overall skin rejuvenation.

BHA 20 Peel

Features salicylic acid and lactic acid, which are excellent for deep pore cleansing and exfoliation. Salicylic acid delves into pores to clear out dead skin cells and excess oil, while lactic acid removes dead skin cells and moisturizes. Eucalyptus offers potent astringent benefits. Together, these ingredients help to smooth the skin, minimize the appearance of pores, reduce acne, and prevent new breakouts.
