SkinCeuticals Chemical Peel
The use of natural glycolic acid at different concentrations also allows actives to penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate the production of collagen. Chemical peels can also help prevent acne breakouts by killing acne-causing bacteria.
Glycolic acid (a type of alpha-hydroxy acid, or AHA) is a natural product derived either from sugar or fruit acids. It works on both the surface and in the deeper layers of the skin, breaking down fat molecules that bond dead and dry cells to the skin. Similar to the rough corns that form on the heels of the feet, a layer of dead cells can also build up on any skin surface. By eliminating these dead layers, skin appears smoother and is significantly more receptive to the ingredients contained in cosmeceuticals, helping improve their effectiveness when applied.

Q&A
How do chemical peels work?
Chemical peels improve the texture and appearance of the skin by sloughing off the outer layers of the skin. They are effective facial treatments for improving blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone. During the treatment, a pre-determined quantity of the peel solution is applied to the skin for a specified amount of time. This is dependent on the type of chemical peel used, the concentration of the solution, skin type, and skin’s reactivity to the treatment.
When should I get a chemical peel?
When and how frequently a chemical peel is administered will vary according to the depth and concentration of the peel. Superficial peels can become part of an ongoing monthly skin maintenance program. Medium depth peels are generally done in a series of 3-6, while a deep peel may only be done once or twice a year. Any peel series should be done under the guidance of an experienced medical aesthetician or dermatologist.
