Fruit acid is a mild chemical exfoliant that works by penetrating and breaking apart the uppermost layer of skin. This facilitates the removal of dead and damaged surface cells and exposes the newer, healthier layer of skin underneath. The amount of exfoliation that occurs during a fruit acid peel depends on factors like AHA concentration and the presence of other cosmetic ingredients.

AHA peels encourage cell turnover to help fade surface imperfections, fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging skin. Peels also help maintain younger-looking skin by boosting the production of collagen and elastin. As a treatment for acne, fruit acids work to dry up excess sebum and unclog blocked hair follicles. Fruit acid peels are relatively gentle, and even the strongest treatments must be repeated to achieve the desired results. Studies conducted by researchers at the Ohio State University and Massachusetts General Hospital suggest that over time, the use of AHA products result in smoother, more evenly pigmented skin.

GLYCOLIC ACID- I call it the miracle acid why? Because? It works in so many ways, as it penetrates deep down in the dermis of the skin to;

remove dead skin cells thus leaving the skin glowing and more radiant
smooths out dry, rough skin
soothes and repairs sun damaged skin by making the wrinkles less noticeable and pronounced
Treats hyper pigmentation- by lightening pigmentation, brown marks and age spots, it will lighten your overall skin tone to produce a much fresher youthful appearance.
Improves acne- and gently repairs acne marks, it also reduces oil production on the dermis so you will notice a change in your skin
Glycolic acid activates the skin to naturally produce collagen- which will increase elastin of the dermis and protect the skin from free radicals thus will leave the skin feeling new and rejuvenated. ( 10 years younger)
Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring fruit acid known as AHA (Alpha Hydroxyl Acids). Glycolic peels help to rejuvenate skin by loosening the bond that holds dead skin cells on the epidermis. This stimulates new growth of skin and removal of old, dead, dull skin.

MALIC ACID

Malic acid -is naturally occurring acid that is found in fruit and yoghurt, it works to benefit us in so many ways how? And why? Let me tell you;
The Benefits of Malic acid are;
blocks the growth of bacteria on the skin thus reduces infection and inflammation
it has strong anti-ageing properties and will promote shedding of the outer layer of skin cells to
Unveil brand new fresh complexion.
reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting the new regeneration of skin
Lightens dark pigmentation
removes dead skin cells in the outer layer of the skin
unclogs pores and treats moderate to severe acne

LACTIC ACID

Lactic Acid- help to eliminate germs, toxins and dead skin cells on the skin's surface. Lactic acid rejuvenates the skin by encouraging the shedding of mature old sun damaged skin. It stimulates new growth of the skin and collagen by decreasing the bond that holds the dead skin cells on the surface of the dermis.

This allows dead cells to be removed gradually, leaving behind a layer of smoother softer skin.

The Benefits of Lactic acid are;

increases collagen production
improves skin texture- to produce a more youthful appearance
stimulates new growth of fresh young skin
repairs sun damaged skin
eliminates germs, bacteria and toxins on the dermis
removes dead skin cells

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• treat discolouration and revives skin tone to a glowing complexion

• reduces enlarged pores

PURE COLLAGEN

Collagen has a major structural role in our dermis as it makes up 75% of our skin. It plays a key role in providing the structural scaffolding for our cells, tissues and organs. If it weren't for collagen our bodies would literally fall apart. Collagen also gives the skin strength and durability and is responsible for the smooth plump appearance of young healthy skin.
Healthy skin is due in a large part to the presence of healthy collagen levels. The breakdown of healthy collagen and the decline in collagen production leads to the development of unwanted wrinkles and the appearance of aged, tired and dull looking skin.
Understanding the structure and importance of collagen will help you better know how to maintain a healthy youthful appearance.

Collagen is created by fibroblasts, which are specialised skin cells that are located in the dermis.
Fibroblasts are important as they produce skin structural proteins such as elastin- this is what gives the skin the ability to snap back, and also keeps the skin hydrated.

The benefits of Pure Collagen;

major structural protein in the skin to provide scaffolding for cells, tissues and organs
our bodies will literally fall apart without collagen
helps us to maintain a healthy youthful appearance
collagen makes up 75% of our skin

For whom is this product: Glycolic acid peels 60% strength are ideal treatments for individuals who are new to glycolic peels and have normal to oily skin types (sensitive and/or dry skin types should use our lactic acid peels). First time users should always start at 10% to avoid burns. Glycolic peels 40-70% strength are ideal treatments for individuals with normal to oily skin types that have had prior experience using glycolic acid peels of equal or greater strength.

Usage:

Step 1: Cleanse face and neck thoroughly with an oil-free cleanser.

Step 2: Prepare skin with an alcohol/water solution (50/50 mixture). This will help to break up any oil on skin’s surface for a more even application.

Step 3: Have a neutralizing solution ready to stop the action of the acid if needed. We recommend a baking soda/water solution (50/50). This step is not necessary.

Step 4: Apply peel to face and neck area with a cotton ball. Gently glide cotton ball unto skin, applying more pressure on areas that need added exfoliation.

Step 5: Allow acid to sit on skin for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. If needed, use neutralizing solution from step 3, to neutralize acid. This step is only necessary if you feel that the acid is too strong for your skin. Otherwise, rinsing thoroughly with warm water should suffice.

Step 7: Apply a good skin hydrating, healing moisturizer unto treated area. We recommend our Isabel Ricardo- Skin Whitening Serum 30 ml for faster healing time and best results.

Step 8: SUNBURN ALERT: This product contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that is likely to increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen with SPF 80+, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.

Step 9: Repeat peel once a week. Enjoy!
