The Benefits of Glycolic Acid Peels

Beyond delivering increased radiance, softness and some evening of pigment, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that progressively deeper peels (twice per week, over a three week period) allow the skin to absorb key ingredients in homecare serums and creams more efficiently because of the removal of the stratum corneum layer of cellular debris and dead cells. Products sink into the skin to deliver all the benefits, with noticeable results.
Even rosacea responds to neutralized glycolic peels, lessening the symptoms, especially when paired with a homecare regimen that incorporates glycolic acid lotion or cream. JAN MARINI BIOCLEAR delivers 12% Glycolic (more than most products found in department stores), 2% salycilic, to potentiate or strengthen the glycolic acid while attenuating breakouts, and 2% azeleic acid to lighten uneven pigment.
The most important result of glycolic acid peels has more to do with health than beauty, as peels help to exfoliate abnormal cells that can lead to skin cancers.
