Don't forget to check out our complete selection of Glycolic Acid Cleansers, Toners, Creams, Scrubs, and Peels!
Glycolic Acid has been used to treat stretch marks, acne pimples, blackheads, scars, cystic acne, adult acne, rebuild collagen, resurface and renew your skin texture, and other skin conditions!
The use of Glycolic Acid will help to stimulate and speed skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, thereby producing more vibrant, smoother-looking skin.
In the deeper layers of skin, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm.
Our Glycolic Acid Peel kits are the most affordable and most effective on the market! Each Peel Kit will give you 20-25 Peels! The 2 ounce formula is concentrated like the professionals use, not a watered-down, overly buffered 8 ounce version like others sell!
Not all Peel Kits are the same! Our peel kits are formulated using pharmceutical grade Glycolic and Lactic acids supplied by one of the best laboratories in the country! These peel kits are not buffered down below the level of effectiveness like others on the market! There is not a better, more effective product available!
Our Peel Kits maintain a low pH of 2.5-2.6 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 peel to be effective, the pH should be between 2.5 and 3.0. Peels with pH levels above 3.0 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 between 2.5 and 3.0 for the most effective and potent peel on the market!

Glycolic Acid is 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, are one of 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 Glycolic Acid 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% have been scientifically proven to stimulate collagen production deep in the skin.
When using Glycolic 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 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
|
Peel can also be used periodically as a refreshing acid wash to exfoliate, retexturize and revitalize the skin.
Our Glycolic 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 PeptideProduct with a Glycolic Acid Product will help to stimulate and speed collagen and elastin production and cell turnover, thereby producing faster results.
You will experience no 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 sunscreenof SPF 15 or higher be applied daily when using Glycolic Acid Products.
If you are new to Glycolic Products, start by using a 10% or 15%Glycolic Acid Treatment Creamor 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 or skin sensitivity for a few weeks, you may start a series of Peels using the 30% Glycolic Peel Kit.
We recommend doing a patch test before using any product to determine possible sensitivity.
Peel kits are for experienced glycolic acid users only.
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 theWhipped 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 includeSuper 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.
Glycolic Products at high strengths, such as the 30% and stronger 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 theFruit Enzyme Peel Kitor the50% Lactic Acid Peel Kitor one of theDermaNew Home Microdermabrasion Systemsinstead. 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-acidSkin Refining Concentrate, for those sensitive to acid-based products.
Combine theDermaNew Microdermabrasion Systemwith 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.
