Description
Acnil & Lightening Peel is formulated to offer targeted exfoliation and skin-brightening in a single 30 mL treatment. The peel employs a balanced pH to maximize efficacy while minimizing irritation. Each active ingredient has been selected for its proven dermatological action, ensuring both safety and potency for clinical-grade results.
Key Ingredients and Their Actions
Resorcinol (15%) kills acne-causing bacteria and accelerates desquamation by disrupting corneocyte cohesion, promoting clearer pores and tighter skin. Research shows its bacteriostatic effect reduces acne lesions significantly when used in controlled concentrations (Journal of Dermatological Treatment).
Glycolic Acid (25%) is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) renowned for its small molecular size, which facilitates deep penetration into the epidermis to dissolve intercellular ‘glue’ and boost cell turnover. Clinical studies confirm its efficacy in improving texture and diminishing fine lines (Dermatologic Surgery).
Salicylic Acid (3%) is a lipophilic beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates sebum-filled follicles to dissolve oil and exfoliate from within, making it especially effective against oily and acne-prone skin (International Journal of Cosmetic Science).
Lactic Acid (10%) offers gentle exfoliation and hydration by attracting water molecules to the stratum corneum, improving moisture retention and barrier function (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology).
Citric Acid (10%) enhances AHA efficacy and provides antioxidant benefits, neutralizing free radicals generated by UV exposure.
Kojic Acid (5%) inhibits tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, leading to gradual lightening of dark spots and melasma patches (Skin Pharmacology and Physiology).
Liquorice Extract contains glabridin, which reduces hyperpigmentation by suppressing free-radical formation and tyrosinase activity (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology).
Tea Tree Extract provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, calming redness and preventing new blemishes (Clinical Microbiology Reviews).
Benefits
Exfoliation & Cell Turnover: AHAs and BHAs remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher skin.
Skin Lightening & Brightening: Tyrosinase inhibitors (Kojic Acid, Liquorice) fade dark spots and melasma.
Acne & Sebum Control: Resorcinol and Salicylic Acid reduce bacterial load and regulate oil production.
Collagen Stimulation: Glycolic and Lactic Acids promote collagen synthesis for firmer, plumper skin.
Texture Refinement: Smoother surface with minimized pores and reduced rough patches.
How to Use
Preparation: Cleanse the face with a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser and pat dry.
Application: Using a cotton pad, apply a thin, even layer of the peel, avoiding eye and lip areas.
Exposure Time: Leave on skin for 2–5 minutes, depending on tolerance and skin sensitivity.
Neutralization & Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with cool water and follow with a neutralizer or gentle toner.
Aftercare: Apply a hydrating serum and broad-spectrum SPF 50+ before sun exposure.
Use once every 7–10 days. For first-time users, start with shorter exposure (1–2 minutes) and increase gradually.
Who Should Use This Peel
Individuals with melasma, hyperpigmentation, or dark spots seeking targeted lightening.
Those with acne-prone or oily skin aiming to control sebum and prevent blackheads and whiteheads.
Consumers desiring anti-aging benefits—reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and premature photo-aging.
Anyone looking to smooth rough texture, minimize enlarged pores, and improve overall radiance.
Precautions
Conduct a patch test 48 hours before first use.
Avoid application on broken or irritated skin.
Discontinue if excessive redness or burning occurs.
Always follow with sun protection; AHAs/BHAs heighten UV sensitivity.
Consult a dermatologist if pregnant, nursing, or under medical treatment for skin conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results?
Most users notice smoother texture and reduced oiliness after one use, with significant lightening of dark spots in 4–6 weeks of consistent application.
Can I use this peel on sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin types should perform a patch test and start with shorter exposure times. If tolerated, gradually increase duration.
How does this differ from home AHA lotions?
This clinical-grade peel delivers higher concentrations of multiple acids in a controlled pH environment, offering faster, more uniform results than over-the-counter AHAs.
Is it safe to use year-round?
Yes, with diligent sun protection. AHAs/BHAs increase UV sensitivity, so daily SPF 50+ is essential.
Can I layer this peel with other treatments?
Avoid combining with retinoids or other peels on the same day. Schedule alternate days to minimize irritation.
