Retinoic Peel with 3% Pure Retinol and Low pH 1.8, Enriched with 6 Botanical Extracts and Hyaluronic Acid
This formula ensures the safe use of the peel on all skin types, including sensitive skin, WITHOUT the risk of developing retinoic dermatitis. It is an anti-aging formula suitable for all skin types, to be rinsed off after 6 hours.
Pure Retinol has higher bioavailability compared to retinoids (Retinyl Palmitate and Retinyl Acetate) due to its lower molecular weight, while being less aggressive than Retinoic Acid. During the peeling process, pure Retinol breaks down into Retinoic Acid in the skin cells, which interacts with retinoic receptors in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, exerting its therapeutic effects:
Reduction of metalloproteinase synthesis, which breaks down collagen fibers.
Result: slowing down the aging process.Stimulation of neocollagenesis – the synthesis of new collagen fibers, glycosaminoglycans, and elastin.
Result: lifting effect, wrinkle smoothing, and enhanced skin moisture retention.Inhibition of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis.
Result: skin whitening.Regulation of keratinization – reducing keratinocyte proliferation in the sebaceous gland ducts and weakening intercellular connections to speed up exfoliation.
Result: pore cleansing and prevention of clogging, smoother skin texture.
At the same time, the 6 botanical extracts and Hyaluronic Acid support this process with their properties, preventing dryness, irritation, and other side effects of retinoids. Therefore, despite its intensity, the peel causes minimal skin sensations and is well tolerated by sensitive skin with couperose.
The peel works within skin cells for at least 72 hours, which is why the formula is "non-rinse during the procedure" and remains on the skin for at least 6 hours before the client washes it off themselves.
