Description
This advanced Fruit Peel combines 35% Glycolic Acid and 30% Citric Acid with anti-inflammatory botanical extracts to deliver professional-grade exfoliation. The formula is designed to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, dissolve desmosomal bonds between dead skin cells, and stimulate new cell turnover. Glycolic Acid, the smallest AHA molecule, is scientifically proven to improve epidermal thickness and collagen density, enhancing skin texture and elasticity, as supported by research in the PMFA Journal on chemical peels’ mechanisms (source).
Treatment for Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, and Discoloration
This peel is particularly effective for managing stubborn pigmentation issues such as melasma, sun-induced hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory dark spots. Glycolic Acid enhances desquamation while accelerating epidermal renewal. Clinical data from the NIH demonstrates its efficacy in fading melasma by disrupting melanin distribution and reducing epidermal pigmentation when used in high concentrations (source). Citric Acid adds synergistic brightening power by chelating metal ions involved in melanin synthesis and gently resurfacing the skin, improving overall radiance.
Effective for Acne, Sebum Regulation, and Scar Smoothing
This formula addresses acne and oily skin concerns with a dual-action approach. Glycolic Acid exfoliates clogged pores and smooths uneven texture, while Tea Tree Extract reduces Cutibacterium acnes proliferation and inflammation. According to dermatological research compiled by Healthline, Tea Tree Extract shows efficacy in reducing acne severity with minimal irritation, making it a preferred botanical for inflamed, blemish-prone skin (source). The peel also improves the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores through consistent use, by stimulating new collagen production and dermal remodeling.
Anti-Aging and Collagen-Boosting Properties
Glycolic Acid has a well-documented ability to stimulate fibroblast activity and increase collagen synthesis in aged skin. As noted in studies on AHA peels, its action leads to dermal thickening and wrinkle reduction. This makes the peel highly suitable for addressing fine lines, photoaging, and rough texture associated with aging skin (source). Liquorice Extract complements this action by inhibiting oxidative stress and preventing further pigmentation, thus supporting both preventative and corrective anti-aging strategies.
Brightening Uneven Tone with Botanical Actives
The inclusion of Liquorice Extract enhances the peel’s brightening benefits by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Regular use leads to a visibly lighter and more even-toned complexion. According to Byrdie’s dermatological overview, glabridin—a key compound in liquorice—demonstrates anti-inflammatory and depigmenting properties that make it effective in treating dullness and patchy skin tone (source).
Best Use Cases
This clinical-strength peel is ideal for users with:
Persistent melasma and hyperpigmentation
Post-acne marks and discoloration
Active acne and clogged pores
Premature aging and fine lines
Enlarged pores and rough texture
Dull, uneven tone
Due to its strength, this peel is recommended for experienced users or those under professional skincare supervision. It is not suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Application Instructions
Apply a thin, even layer of the solution to clean, dry skin using a fan brush or gloved fingers. Avoid the eye, lip, and mucous membrane areas. Begin with a contact time of 1–2 minutes and gradually increase to a maximum of 5 minutes as skin tolerance builds. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and follow with a hydrating moisturizer. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen after use, as AHAs increase photosensitivity.
Safety Guidelines
Always perform a patch test prior to first use.
Avoid concurrent use of other exfoliants (retinoids, scrubs, vitamin C) for 48 hours.
Do not use on broken, compromised, or sensitized skin.
Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy.
