Glycolic acid peels are simply a chemical peel that features glycolic acid as the main component. Glycolic acid is currently a popular treatment for wrinkles and acne. Part of the alpha hydroxyl family of natural ingredients, glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is a fruit acid. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove the glue that holds the older, rougher and dryer skin on the surface. When it removes that top layer of skin, the fresh, new layer is visible. It’s this layer that’s without damage and which looks fresher. People who have glycolic acid peels are often amazed by the results. hey look younger, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles and if they have acne, they often notice their skin is quite a bit less oily and is much clearer. All of our glycolic peels are unbuffered, conserving their high strength and low pH level. For this reason, we strongly suggest starting at 10 percent and slowly moving up in strength as your skin adjusts to the peel. We carry glycolic acid from 10 percent to 70 percent. Directions Step 1: Remove makeup Step 2: Cleanse face with an oil-free cleanser and pat dry. Step 3: Smooth ASDM Beverly Hills Pre Peel Treatment Pad over face avoiding eye and lip area Step 4: Once dry, apply chemical peel as instructed in packaging. Step 5: Leave on for 1-5 minutes. Watch for redness, if too much redness or pain occurs immediately neutralize peel. Step 6: To neutralize peel, apply several pumps of Post Peel Treatment Serum onto clean fan brush included with the packaging. Apply liberally onto face. You can apply several layers of product onto face until you’ve completely covered all treatment areas. Upon application, you will feel a warm, tingling sensation which is normal. Mild foaming is also expected as acid is being neutralized. Once foaming action has ceased, acid has been fully neutralized. Regardless, leave on for a full 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
