Skinceuticals’ Advanced Corrective Peel is considered a deep, superficial chemical peel. My peel was Thursday night, a calculated appointment day, because of the lifecycle of a peel: Your skin begins to peel the next day, for only a few days, so if you go on a Thursday, you have the weekend to “recover” (I use that term very loosely, because there is actually no needed down time). I opted for the Skinceuticals Advanced Corrective peel that contains 14% salicylic acid, 14% lactic acid, and 10% phenylethyl resorcinol. A new treatment, this combo of ingredients has never been used together in a chemical peel until now. Salicylic acid is what you see in most acne products because it unclogs pores and regulates oil production. Lactic acid exfoliates, hydrates, and has disinfectant properties. Phenylethyl Resorcinol is an antioxidant derived from Scotch pine bark that lightens hyperpigmentation. Depending on your skin, the aesthetician will apply between one to four “passes,” or rounds. But more layers doesn’t mean better results; in fact, I only had two passes. She applied the peel then waited 5 minutes to see how how my skin reacted before applying another layer. The first layer felt itchy and uncomfortable, but definitely not painful. The second round felt a bit hotter, and again uncomfortable, but nothing unbearable. The goal is to leave the treatment with red skin, an indication that pigment is being brought to the surface. I left red-faced and tingly. But by the time I got home I barely felt anything and over the next few hours the redness disappeared. For the next 5 days I followed a gentle routine of face wash, a few drops of the phyto corrective gel and sunscreen. I did end up peeling over the weekend but nothing that kept me inside (at best it can be described as “facial dandruff”) and I quickly started to see the positive affects of the treatment. Monday morning I woke up fresh faced and glowy, the furthest thing from Samantha’s peel face. —Julia Casella Follow Julia on Instagram. Q: What makes this peel different from other SkinCeuticals peels?A: This new SkinCeuticals peel is the deepest and most advanced peel SkinCeuticals has produced to date. This peel works in the lowest layer of the epidermis, the basal layer, where live tissue and pigment dwell. It is considered a deep, superficial chemical peel. Q: What is this peel comprised of?A: This peel contains 14% salicylic acid, 14% lactic acid, and 10% phenylethyl resorcinol. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark and exfoliates, unclogs pores, and regulates oil production. Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sour milk that exfoliates, hydrates, and has disinfectant properties. Phenylethyl Resorcinol is an antioxidant derived from Scotch pine bark that lightens hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase (an enzyme that causes hyperpigmentation). This game-changing combination of ingredients exfoliate and regulate skin discoloration, and have never been used together in a chemical peel until now. Q: What can I expect during and after this peel?A: During application, as with most all peels, your skin will feel tingly and spicy. Your aesthetician will apply 1-3 passes depending on your skin’s reaction to each layer. This is a self-neutralizing peel, so it is very safe and predictable. Once applied it will continue to work for 4 hours in a controlled, slow release manner. It is important to not apply anything containing water to the skin for that initial 4 hour period to avoid irritation; this includes liquid makeup. You will also want to avoid exercise and extreme heat for the first 24 hours to avoid discomfort. Flaking and peeling will begin between 24-36 hours and will last for 3-10 days. Your post-peel skin care protocol is comprised of all gentle products and of course chemical-free sunscreen. After the peeling process is complete you will notice complexion improvement including smoother texture, suppressed lines, more even skin tone, and a beautiful glow. All 5 of our aestheticians are trained and certified in the NEW SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel and will be happy to consult with you and answer any questions you may have about this unique treatment. What is skinceuticals advanced corrective peel?The Skinceuticals advanced corrective peel is a medical grade peel for fine lines, tone, and pigment correction, including melasma. It is safe for every fitzpatrick scale from 1-6. The process involves layering of the peel, and completeing the peel with a booster for a maximum glow.
What does a corrective peel do?Improves the appearance of uneven skin tone and dullness by exfoliating surface cells. Softens and smoothes the skin's surface texture. Decreases the frequency of acne breakouts and fades the appearance of post-acne discoloration.
What is the strongest peel for face?Out of all the peels available, the glycolic peel penetrates your skin the deepest, so it's the best one for exfoliation. This is due to glycolic acid's small molecular structure, which allows it to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. It's also good for bringing a healthy glow back to aging skin.
Which peel is best for skin tightening?Answer: TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel Improves Wrinkles and Tightens Skin. A fairly strong (higher concentration, greater pressure of application, greater frost achieved) TCA peel can improve sun damage, wrinkling and skin laxity.
