Glycolic Peel
How does it work?
Glycolic Acid (GA) works by stimulating new growth of skin and collagen by decreasing the bond that holds dead skin cells on the surface. This allows dead cells to be removed gradually, leaving behind a layer of smoother and softer skin. GA also helps to unclog pores and thus decreasing the tendency for acne to develop. During a GA peel, a solution of glycolic acid is applied to your skin for a brief period of time, and then washed away.
This solution causes several layers of the Stratum Corneum (the outer layer of skin) to dry up and peel off gradually over a period of several days. GA weakens linkage of cells in the outer layers of dry skin, allowing the normal shedding process to occur. It also increase the flexibility of the outer layer of the skin and may increase the barrier function. When the older layers have peeled off, they expose a new layer of undamaged skin! GA Exfoliators gradually remove dead skin layers, therefore bringing out the new healthy skin.
Healing time can be about 3-7 days!
Comes in a large size bottle (gives 30-40 cosmetic peels)
