Acne:20% Salicylic Acid & 30% Glycolic Peel

Slicylic Cranberry Turnover Peel

Salicylic Acid accelerates exfoliation of the corneous layer and acts longer on the cell-desquamation process. It is primarily used for skin with acne in doses that cause little irritation. It is used when AHAs are not strong enough to clean all the blocked pores. Salicylic Acid loosens and removes aging cells, oils, and debris attached to the skin pore surface.  It is oil soluble and lipophilic, so it penetrates sebum filled follicles and cleans out clogged pores.  Salicylic acid stimulates new healthy skin cell productions and increases collagen formation, resulting in marked improvement in acne prone skin.  Salicylic acid will decrease fine lines, smooth skin, even out pigmentation and help reduce pore size, while shedding dead and damaged skin cells. The Cranberry Turnover Peel is a powerhouse product that exfoliates and reduces oil with a creamy consistency and 20% salicylic acid cranberry mixture.

This 30% Glycolic Peel is an excellent peel for cell renewal, working to dissolve desmosomes that bond cells together to reveal healthier revitalized skin. Designed to target closed comedones as well as aging skin with fine lines.
