Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid works to break the bonds between the outer layer of skin cells, including dead skin cells,
and the next skin cell layer.
Witch Hazel
Witch hazel contains chemicals called tannins. When applied directly to the skin, witch hazel might help reduce swelling, help repair broken skin, and fight bacteria.
Panthenol
Mainly as a moisturizing ingredient, panthenol hydrates the skin. As a humectant, it attracts moisture to the skin and holds water in the skin, allowing the skin to produce moisture and hydrate from within.
Preparation:
Wet your face and cleanse thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils from the skin.
Application of the Peel:
Apply the peel to a cotton pad or swab.
Smooth the peel over your face, avoiding the eye area, ears, and lips.
Time Limit: Do not leave the peel on your face for more than 10 minutes in total.
First Time Users:
Perform a patch test before the first use.
Apply the peel for only 30 seconds during the patch test to determine skin sensitivity.
This step is crucial to understand how your skin reacts to the acid before gradually increasing the duration of the peel.
Peel Penetration:
The longer the peel is left on, the deeper it penetrates, and the longer the recovery time.
Monitor your skin’s reaction and adjust the duration accordingly.
Post-Peel Care:
Flush and thoroughly cleanse your skin with cool water after removing the peel.
Moisturize your skin with Recast Aloe vera soothing gel.
Always wear a minimum of SPF 15 during the day to protect your skin.
Frequency:
Wait at least 3 weeks before applying another peel.
For the first 6-8 weeks, follow the recommended frequency.
After the initial period, apply the peel once a month for maintenance.
Monitoring Skin Reaction:
If you experience negative effects such as redness or burning, discontinue use immediately.
It’s important to note that everyone’s skin reacts differently to skincare products. If you have any concerns or experience adverse effects, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional. Additionally, following the provided guidelines for patch testing and gradually increasing peel duration can help minimize the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Step 1: Start with a gel-based cleanser, washing and patting the skin dry. Wipe the Peel Prep Solution across the treatment area to ensure a clean canvas.
Step 2: Apply the Glycolic 70% peel using a gauze pad, smoothing it over your face, neck, or décolletage. Avoid reapplying the acid to the same spot.
Step 3: For the first application, let the peel set for 3-5 minutes. Watch for any reactions and take note of the results. In subsequent treatments, you can extend the peel time to a maximum of 10 minutes. If the skin feels uneasy, a cool water gauze compress can help soothe the sensation.
Step 4: Remove the peel by applying the Neutralizer Solution directly over the treated area. Rinse your skin with cool water and gently pat it dry.
Step 5: Follow up with a hydrating serum, such as the Hyaluronic Replenish Serum. Complete your routine by applying a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher.
Remember, every step counts in ensuring a safe and effective peel application.
