Description
The AHA Glycolic Lactic Gel Peel is a professional-strength chemical exfoliant designed to address various skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. With a potent combination of 30% glycolic acid and 40% lactic acid, this peel offers deep exfoliation, promoting skin renewal and improved texture.
Key Ingredients and Their Functions
Glycolic Acid (30%)
Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane, is known for its small molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin effectively. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating their removal and revealing fresher skin underneath. This process helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars .
Lactic Acid (40%)
Lactic acid, another AHA, is derived from fermented milk. It is known for its exfoliating properties and its ability to improve skin hydration. Lactic acid helps in treating hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone, making the skin appear brighter and more even.
Benefits
Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: The combination of glycolic and lactic acids helps in reducing dark spots and melasma by promoting even skin tone.
Anti-Aging: Regular use can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
Acne and Scarring: The peel aids in unclogging pores and reducing acne scars, leading to clearer skin.
Skin Brightening: Exfoliation removes dull skin cells, enhancing skin radiance.
Improved Skin Texture: By removing dead skin cells, the peel smoothens rough skin, resulting in a softer feel.
Usage Instructions
Preparation: Cleanse the skin thoroughly and pat dry.
Application: Apply a thin layer of the peel using a brush or fingertips, avoiding the eye area.
Duration: Leave the peel on for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on skin sensitivity.
Neutralization: Rinse off with cool water or use a neutralizing solution to stop the peeling process.
Post-Care: Apply a moisturizer and sunscreen. Avoid sun exposure and use gentle skincare products for the next 7-10 days.
