Description
Clinical-grade Mandelic T Peel is a professionally formulated medium-strength chemical peel that harnesses the exfoliating power of alpha-hydroxy acids and keratolytics. With 20% mandelic acid and 5% thioglycolic acid, this solution resurfaces the epidermis to improve texture, clarity, and tone.
Key Benefits
- Promotes uniform exfoliation and cell turnover for a smoother complexion.
- Targets hyperpigmentation and dark spots through tyrosinase inhibition by mandelic acid and licorice-derived glabridin.
- Reduces inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions via tea tree extract’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions.
- Stimulates collagen synthesis to lessen fine lines and improve firmness.
How It Works
Mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid with a larger molecular size, penetrates the skin slowly and evenly to dissolve intercellular “glue” and shed dead cells without severe irritation (PubMed). Thioglycolic acid acts as a keratolytic, helping to break down keratin plugs in pores and promoting deeper exfoliation. Licorice extract (glabridin) inhibits melanin synthesis by downregulating tyrosinase activity (PubMed). Tea tree extract adds antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties to calm redness and control Cutibacterium acnes proliferation (PMC).
Ingredients and Their Action
- Mandelic Acid (20%): AHA that encourages even cell turnover, reduces pigmentation, and refines texture while minimizing irritation due to its slow penetration (PubChem).
- Thioglycolic Acid (5%): Keratolytic that dislodges dead cells and debris, enhancing peel depth and efficacy (PubChem).
- Liquorice Extract: Contains glabridin and isoliquiritigenin, which inhibit tyrosinase and reduce inflammation for brighter, more even skin tone (PMC).
- Tea Tree Extract: Provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, reducing acne lesions and preventing new breakouts (PubMed).
Suitable For
- Oily/Acneic Skin seeking gentle exfoliation and pore clarification.
- Medium Strength peel level, balancing efficacy and comfort.
- Those addressing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots.
- Individuals targeting uneven skin tone, fine lines, and acne scars.
- Users looking to stimulate collagen and combat dull skin.
Usage Instructions
- Patch Test: Apply a small amount below the jawline or on the inner arm; wait 24 hours to ensure tolerance.
- Cleansing: Wash face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Application: Using a brush, apply peel from forehead downward, avoiding eyes and lips.
- Contact Time: Leave on for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, adjusting based on sensitivity.
- Neutralization: Mist with a neutralizing spray; leave for 1 minute.
- Aftercare: Rinse with water, then apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and hydrating moisturizer twice daily for 7–10 days post-peel.
Safety and Precautions
- Always perform a patch test before full application.
- Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen diligently for one week post-treatment.
- Do not manually peel off flaking skin; allow natural exfoliation.
- Discontinue use if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
- Consult a professional if pregnant or under treatment for active dermatitis.
