The Benefits of a Lactic Peel

A Peel that delivers smoother, radiant, rejuvenated skin and that is also suitable for more sensitive skin types. A Lactic Peel is great for treating congested pores, combination skin, acne, rosacea, sun-damage, and other types of skin damage.

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works as a chemical exfoliant. It helps to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, promoting a smoother and more even complexion. Lactic Acid is derived from milk and is a gentle yet effective exfoliant. The particles penetrate the skin and help to kill germs and bacteria and helps to reduce the bonds that hold dead skin cells, which can reduce age spots and congested pores.

The peel is left on the skin for a few minutes, during which time it exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and brighten tone, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Gentle Exfoliation

Lactic acid is a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that effectively exfoliates the skin by dissolving dead skin cells on the surface, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

 

Hydration Boost

Lactic acid has hydrating properties, making it ideal for individuals with dry or sensitive skin. It helps to improve moisture retention and enhance the skin's natural barrier function.


Brightening Effect

Regular lactic peels can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a brighter and more even complexion.


Stimulates Collagen Production

Lactic acid stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin, promoting firmness and elasticity. Over time, this can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Improves Texture

By exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, lactic peels help to refine skin texture, reduce the appearance of pores, and promote a smoother, more even skin surface.


Suitable for All Skin Types

Lactic acid is gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It can be customized to suit individual skincare needs and concerns.
