SkinCeuticals Peels
What are SkinCeuticals Peels?
Skinceuticals peels are professional-grade chemical peels designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. These peels utilize a combination of exfoliating agents such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and various botanicals to target a range of skin concerns including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. By promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and stimulating cell renewal, Skinceuticals peels help to reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath.
One of the key benefits of Skinceuticals peels is their ability to be customized based on individual skin types and concerns. Depending on the specific formulation, these peels can vary in strength and purpose, allowing skincare professionals to tailor treatments to the needs of their clients. For optimal results, it is recommended to combine these peels with Skinceuticals home care products. This combination ensures continuous skin improvement and maintenance, enhancing the overall health and appearance of the skin. Regular use of these peels, alongside a dedicated home care routine, can lead to significant and long-lasting improvements.
Gel Peel GL
Skinceuticals Gel Peel GL is formulated with a powerful combination of glycolic acid and lactic acid. Glycolic acid, a well-known alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), effectively exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their removal. Lactic acid, another AHA, not only exfoliates but also hydrates the skin, enhancing its texture and radiance.
