Chemical Peel

The acid disrupts the desmosomal bonds between corneocytes in the stratum corneum and superficial epidermis, causing organised shedding that triggers a renewal response: the fresh epidermis that forms is more even in texture, tone and pigment distribution, and…

They produce mild erythema and flaking over two to three days; make-up can generally be worn from the next day. These are often incorporated into a monthly maintenance schedule for patients managing acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea or general skin texture.
