How does the peel improve skin ageing?

In our 20s and 30s, our skin is at its optimum cell turnover rate, with new cells making their way to the surface of the skin every 28-32 days, on average. As we age, the process slows, which causes increased dead cell build-up on the surface of the skin. Superficial peels encourage cell turnover by loosening the bonds of the glue that hold skin cells together; and after the initial light exfoliation your skin will appear fresher and smoother.

How does the peel improve hyperpigmentation?

The Equalizer Peel is a Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and its effects on the epidermis and upper dermis(where melanin is created) are similar to those of Retin-A, but with less irritation. It is soluble in oil and can exfoliate oily skin areas, even within oil-rich pores. Therefore, it has a beneficial effect on pigmentary disturbances and sun damaged skin. Because it does exfoliate , sun protection is required following the peel procedure.

 

How does the peel improve acne/problem skin?

Beta-Hydroxy Acid is a derivative of aspirin and is often used in skin care products to accelerate skin turnover, clear out pores and reduce disease-causing microbe counts. This improves the visible appearance of acne and problem skin. Beta-Hydroxy Acid penetrates more deeply, especially into pores, than Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) . In the Epionce Peel formulation , it is gentler on the skin.
