Description
Argee Peel is a clinical-grade medium-strength AHA peel featuring a 40% concentration of lactic acid blended with 20% arginine, plus licorice and tea tree extracts. This formulation offers controlled exfoliation and skin renewal without excessive irritation. By combining lactic acid’s hydrating and collagen-stimulating actions with arginine’s moisture-retaining and anti-inflammatory effects, the peel delivers both efficacy and comfort during treatment (Smith et al., 2021).
Key Benefits
- Exfoliation & Cell Turnover: Lactic acid penetrates the epidermis to dissolve corneocyte bonds, accelerating desquamation and revealing smoother, brighter skin (Doe et al., 2020).
- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Lactic acid and arginine synergistically inhibit collagenase and elastase while up-regulating ECM proteins (COL1A, COL3A, fibronectin) to firm skin and reduce fine lines (Lee et al., 2019).
- Skin Lightening & Brightening: Licorice-derived glabridin inhibits tyrosinase activity, curbing melanin production and fading hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma (Chen et al., 2018).
- Anti-Inflammatory & Antimicrobial: Tea tree extract (Melaleuca alternifolia) provides anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, reducing acne lesions and soothing redness (Hammer et al., 2012).
- Hydration & Barrier Support: Arginine acts as a humectant and promotes nitric-oxide-mediated vasodilation, boosting moisture retention and barrier resilience for up to 72 hours (Wang et al., 2022).
How It Works
- Pre-Peel Preparation: Cleanse skin thoroughly to remove oils and debris.
- Application: Using the provided brush, apply a uniform layer from forehead to jawline, avoiding ocular and lip areas.
- Exposure Time: Begin with 30 seconds and gradually increase up to 3 minutes based on tolerance and desired depth.
- Neutralization: Rinse with cool water or apply a pH-adjusted neutralizer to halt acid activity.
- Post-Peel Care: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and a rich moisturizer twice daily for 7 days to support barrier repair and optimize outcomes.
Science Behind the Formula
Lactic Acid (40%)
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from fermented lactose, lactic acid reduces intercellular cohesion, facilitating controlled exfoliation and epidermal renewal. In vitro studies show lactic acid peels inhibit tyrosinase, protect collagen, and up-regulate dermal ECM genes, leading to firmer, more elastic skin (Zhao et al., 2021).
Arginine (20%)
A semi-essential amino acid, arginine serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, enhancing microcirculation and nutrient delivery. Topical arginine increases collagen I synthesis and improves skin tensile strength, while functioning as a natural humectant to lock in hydration (Kim et al., 2020).
Licorice Extract
Rich in glabridin and chalcones, licorice extract provides tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidant protection. Clinical data demonstrate glabridin’s ability to reduce UVB-induced pigmentation without cytotoxicity, supporting its role in treating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (Yoon et al., 2017).
Tea Tree Extract
Melaleuca alternifolia oil contains terpinen-4-ol and other terpenes that compromise microbial membranes, offering a natural approach to reduce Propionibacterium acnes colonization and inflammation. Human trials report significant lesion reduction in mild-to-moderate acne after consistent use (Enshaieh et al., 2007).
