Description
Our Pigment Correction Peel is a scientifically formulated medium-strength chemical peel designed to target uneven pigmentation, fine lines and textural irregularities. This 30 mL solution delivers a potent yet balanced blend of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids alongside proven depigmenting agents to accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen synthesis and inhibit excess melanin formation.
Hyperpigmentation arises from overactive melanocytes depositing excess melanin in the epidermis, often triggered by UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations or post-inflammatory processes. By combining multiple mechanisms of action—exfoliation, tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidant activity—this peel interrupts melanin synthesis, dissolves corneocyte adhesion and renews epidermal health for a more homogeneous tone.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
Lactic Acid (10 %) penetrates the stratum corneum to gently loosen intercellular bonds, promoting exfoliation and increasing collagen and elastin synthesis L-lactic acid induces collagen production in human dermal fibroblasts PMC and enhancing skin hydration through upregulation of natural moisturizing factors AHA skin benefits review PMC.
Kojic Acid (5 %) acts as a chelating agent, binding copper at the active site of tyrosinase to reduce melanin synthesis and effectively treat lentigines and sun-induced spots Kojic acid as a tyrosinase inhibitor NCBI.
Salicylic Acid (2 %) is a lipid-soluble beta-hydroxy acid that deeply penetrates sebaceous follicles to exfoliate pore linings and reduce comedones, making it ideal for acne-prone and oily skin types Salicylic acid follicular action PubMed.
Citric Acid (10 %) enhances depigmentation by accelerating desquamation and inhibiting tyrosinase activity, contributing to a more uniform pigment distribution Citric acid depigmentation mechanism PMC.
Hydroquinone (2 %) is one of the most effective topical depigmenting agents, irreversibly inhibiting tyrosinase and reducing melanocyte activity to correct recalcitrant hyperpigmentation and melasma Hydroquinone mechanism review NCBI.
Liquorice and Tea Tree Extracts provide antioxidant support and anti-inflammatory benefits, soothing post-peel erythema and protecting against oxidative stress.
How It Works
Upon application, this multi-acid formula gently loosens corneocyte cohesion (exfoliation), facilitating the removal of hyperpigmented keratinocytes. Concurrently, kojic acid and hydroquinone disrupt tyrosinase—the rate-limiting enzyme in melanogenesis—preventing new melanin formation Tyrosinase inhibition by kojic and hydroquinone PMC. Lactic and citric acids further stimulate epidermal renewal and collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines AHA collagen stimulation PubMed. Salicylic acid clears sebum and debris from pore linings, preventing new blemishes and improving skin clarity Salicylic acid acne action PMC.
