Description
This clinical-strength Yellow Peel is a multi-acid resurfacing formula designed to combat a wide spectrum of dermatological concerns, including melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, uneven tone, and signs of aging. It combines four proven actives—Retinol, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Kojic Acid—in optimal concentrations to accelerate cell renewal, regulate pigmentation, and refine skin texture. This professional-grade formulation is especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin types seeking deep exfoliation and skin clarity.
Active Ingredient Breakdown
Retinol (20%)
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative and one of the most researched ingredients in dermatology. It enhances cell turnover, stimulates collagen synthesis, and improves epidermal thickness, making it effective against wrinkles, acne, and photodamage. According to Cleveland Clinic, retinol also plays a significant role in reducing hyperkeratinization, which helps unclog pores and reduce acne flare-ups.
Glycolic Acid (30%)
As the smallest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid penetrates the epidermis deeply. It dissolves desmosomal bonds between keratinocytes, enabling exfoliation of dead skin and revealing brighter, more even skin. Research from the National Library of Medicine confirms its efficacy in reducing hyperpigmentation, acne, and actinic damage when used in peels above 20%.
Lactic Acid (20%)
Lactic acid is another AHA with excellent exfoliating and hydrating properties. It acts more gently than glycolic acid while effectively stimulating collagen production and epidermal renewal. According to DermNet, lactic acid improves skin tone, softens fine lines, and strengthens the skin barrier when used in professional chemical peels.
Kojic Acid (10%)
Kojic acid is a naturally derived inhibitor of tyrosinase—the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Its role in lightening dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is well-documented in peer-reviewed dermatological literature. It works synergistically with retinoids and AHAs to even skin tone and suppress new pigment formation.
Clinical Use Cases
This Yellow Peel is indicated for multiple moderate to severe skin conditions, including:
Melasma – A chronic pigmentary disorder worsened by hormonal shifts and sun exposure. Retinoids and kojic acid work synergistically to reduce epidermal melanin.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Common in acne-prone skin; glycolic and lactic acid exfoliate pigmented cells, while kojic acid suppresses melanogenesis.
Acne and Acne Scars – Retinol normalizes follicular epithelial desquamation and reduces comedones. AHAs unclog pores and stimulate tissue remodeling.
Photoaging – Wrinkles and age spots induced by UV damage are visibly reduced through enhanced collagen synthesis and removal of sun-damaged cells.
Uneven Skin Tone and Dullness – The peel lifts keratinized skin layers, improving brightness and clarity.
Textural Irregularities – Enlarged pores and rough skin are smoothed through increased epidermal turnover.
Application Protocol
Step 1: Pre-Peel Preparation
Cleanse skin thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry. Do not use exfoliants, retinoids, or harsh actives for 48 hours prior.
Step 2: Peel Application
Apply a thin, even layer across the treatment area using a brush or gloved fingers. Avoid the eye contour and mucous membranes. Limit contact time to 20 seconds for first-time users.
Step 3: Processing Time
Allow the solution to act for 3–15 minutes depending on skin sensitivity and desired depth. Moderate tingling and redness are expected.
Step 4: Neutralization
Apply a neutralizing solution to halt acid activity. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and gently pat dry.
Step 5: Post-Peel Care
Apply a fragrance-free, hydrating moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 50. Avoid sun exposure, makeup, and active ingredients for 24–48 hours.
