WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GLYCOLIC LACTIC & SALICYLIC PEELS?

5 Jun 2018 admin Anti Ageing, Treatments 0 comment

Glycolic acid

This is the most active and beneficial peel and is made from sugar cane. Its molecule size is very small, therefore can penetrate through the cell walls. It will trigger new formation of collagen and reduce wrinkles on the skin’s surface, giving the skin a much smoother feel and look.

Lactic acid

Is a natural humectant which occurs naturally in the skin and because of this, it is able to pull moisture from the air and hold it into the skin. It is less irritating and more moisturising than Glycolic, so can be used in higher concentrations.

Salicylic acid

A mild acid which works well for mild acne, oily skin and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Can be mixed with Glycolic to peel the top layer of the skin and to open the plugged pores to normalise the skin.

Lactic and Salicylic peels compliment each other perfectly.

Following a peel, the skin absorbs the skincare more effectively, ensuring even better results from your skincare.
