Skin Peels - What they can do for you!
Return to Top of Page/Peel Kits
Our unique Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid Peel Kits for home use contain
highly effective formulations of pharmaceutical-grade Glycolic and Lactic Acid. Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid Peels cost an average of 40% strengths are used in Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery offices at the cost
$50-85. per peel at a Doctor's Office.
Our peels average less than $2. per peel!
Thats a savings of over $2050. for the 2 ounce Kit averaging
20-25 Peels!
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid are used to accelerate the removal of rough
outer skin, improving the skin's appearance and enhancing the results obtained
with other skin care products.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids, such as Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid, and Beta-Hydroxy Acids, such as Salicylic Acid are among the
safest methods of exfoliation and increasing skin turnover.
As we age, a number of skin changes occur which require
different types of skin care and treatments.
One such change is that the rate of the skin cell
replacement is reduced, producing a thinner, more fragile skin. Skin is
replaced every three weeks at age 20 but this increases to every nine weeks by
age 50.
The use of these acids will help to stimulate and speed
cell turnover, thereby producing more vibrant and smoother looking skin. The top
layer of skin will be thinned by the exfoliation of dead cells, but in the
deeper layers of skin, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin
will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm.

Glycolic Peels at strengths of 30% and above have been scientifically proven
to stimulate collagen production deep in the skin.
When using Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid for skin regeneration, stronger does not neccesarily mean
better! Glycolic Acid peels of higher stengths
such as 50%-70% will only slightly speed the process, but the skin rebuilding induced by a
70% AHA chemical peel (which is costly and may cause scarring) in 3 months can
be duplicated by a 7% AHA cream in 9 months, and by a 40% peel only 2-4 weeks longer than a 70% Peel.
Thus, doing a peel yourself at home with strengths of 30%
will give you the same results as the higher strength peels, but the
results take just slightly longer.
A series of Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, or Salicylic Acid Peels can be utilized to:
- Stimulate New Cell Production
- Stimulate New Collagen Production
- Improve SKIN TONE
- Improve SKIN TEXTURE
- Reduce appearance of PORE SIZE
- Improve Blotchiness and IRREGULAR PIGMENTATION
- Improve appearance of SHALLOW Acne Scars
- Clear Acne and prevent future outbreaks
- Get rid of blackheads
- Calm Oily Skin

Peels can also be used periodically as a refreshing acid
wash to exfoliate, retexturize and revitalize the skin.
Our Acid Products are pH balanced, so you will
receive the greatest efficacy that each product can offer, and therefore, the
best possible results!
Many acne sufferers will find that the peels will keep

their acne under control and smooth away blemishes and blotchy spots.
Combining a Copper Peptide Product with a
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, or Salicylic Acid Product will help to stimulate and speed collagen and elastin
production and cell turnover, thereby producing faster results.
You should not experience visible peeling after using the Peel
Kits. However, several layers of dead skin cells will be sloughed off. This
product is formulated so that the user experiences no "Down Time", that is,
there is no period of time where you need to recover from excessive peeling or
redness.
Full, easy-to-use instructions are included with each Kit!
It is recommended that a sunscreen of SPF 25 or higher be applied daily
when using Acid Products.
If you are new to Glycolic Products, start by using a 10% or
15%
Glycolic Acid Treatment Cream or Gel listed below for a few weeks before
using a Glycolic Peel Kit. After you have been using the Glycolic Treatment
Cream or Gel with no adverse effects for a few weeks, you may start a series of
Peels using the 30% Glycolic Peel Kit or 50% Lactic Acid Peel Kit.
For the very best results, use a 10% or
15%
Glycolic Acid Treatment Cream or Gel every night in addition to your weekly peel.
Use a Glycolic Acid Treatment Cream or Gel daily, combined
with a series of Glycolic Acid Peels for maximum results! You will see results
faster and maintain your results longer by using both products.
An excellent Cleanser to use before your Peel to deep-clean
and properly prepare your skin is the
Whipped
Camphor Cleanser.
Certain cleansers are alkaline in nature, and can interfere with the action
of Glycolic Acid, therefore, the proper cleanser is important.
After your peel, soothe and cool your skin with our Cucumber Ice Sorbet Gel Mask
Recommended moisturizers for use after your Peel include
Super
Rich Moisturizer,
Protect & Restore Classic,
Pure
Refined Emu Oil, or Ultra Hydro Gel.
The Copper Peptide products can be used after a Peel to soothe the skin.
Acid Products at high strengths, such as the 30% and 50% strengths
and Salicylic Acid stronger than 2% are not to be used if pregnant or nursing. Do not use if you have recently
undergone Chemotherapy, Radiation, or Accutane treatment. Do not use on irritated skin,
or recently exfoliated skin. Consult your
Physician before use if you are unsure about using this product with a skin
condition.
If your skin is sensitive or you have a condition which
makes Glycolic Acids currently unsuitable for use, we reccommend using the
Fruit
Enzyme Peel Kit or the
50%
Lactic Acid Peel Kit or one of the
DermaNew Home Microdermabrasion Systems instead. Our Fruit Enzyme Products
provide superior exfoliation without the irritation sometimes associated with
Glycolic Acid products. The DermaNew Microdermabrasion system provides superior
exfoliation without the use of chemicals!
We also have a non-acid
Skin
Refining Concentrate, for those sensitive to acid-based products.
Combine the
DermaNew
Microdermabrasion System with a Glycolic Peel Kit or a Non-Glycolic Fruit
Enzyme Peel Kit for superior exfoliation and super-fast results!
Fruit Enzymes and Glycolic Acids use different methods to
acheive exfoliation. Glycolic Acids "lift off and remove" the top layer of dead
skin cells, while Fruit Enyzymes simply "dissolve" the top layer of dead skin
cells. Both methods reveal a fresher layer of skin cells and stimulate new cell growth for a fresher, smoother complexion!

Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid Products at high strengths, such as the 30%, 40% and 50% strengths
(for Glycolic & Lactic Acid) and 2% and above (for Salicylic Acid) are not to be used if pregnant or nursing. Do not use if you have recently
undergone Chemotherapy, Radiation, or Accutane treatment. Do not use on irritated skin,
or recently exfoliated skin. Consult your
Physician before use if you are unsure about using these products with a skin
condition.
We sell only the highest quality pharmaceutical-grade Glycolic and Lactic Acid Products including our best-selling Peel Kits and nightly Treatment Creams and Gels!
Our AHA Peel Kits maintain a low pH of 2.5 for the most safe and effective peel you can buy! We are often imitated but never equalled!
A note about pH levels: Physicians who have been doing peels for years have determined that for a glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid peel to be effective, the pH should be between 2.5 and 3.0. Peels with pH levels above 3.0 (with the exception of the Vitamin A Peel) are not effective (they don't exfoliate the skin enough), and
Peels with a pH below 2.5 are not effective (the acid content is not balanced and the skin is being damaged instead of peeling effectively, and this defeats the purpose of using peels to improve your skin). Our peels are perfectly balanced at 2.5 for the most effective and potent peel on the market!
The idea is to improve the skin, not damage it!
Peels can also be used periodically as a refreshing acid
