Salicylic Acid Peel

Description

Salicylic Acid Peel is a beta hydroxy acid peel that is lipohilic which means that it easily dissolves oil and can penetrate deep down the pores even in the presence of comedogenic, viscous skin oil making it perfect for clients with oily skin and obstructed pores. It bonds with hardened sebum and breaks it down to declog and clarify the pores thus removing stubborn blackheads easily without mechanical extraction. Salicylic Acid is also naturally bactericidal and will make the skin surface hostile to acne causing bacteria making it the peel of choice for acne prone skin. Twice a month usage is ideal for moderate to severe acne while once a month usage is ideal for mild cases. Regular use will dramatically improve the overall skin appearance by making the skin soft, smooth, poreless with zero acne and blemishes.

Using Salicylic Acid will help achieve the following benefits:

• Treats mild, moderate and severe forms of acne
• Eradicates stubborn blemishes
• Minimizes and fades scars
• Dissolves hardened sebum clogging the pores
• Ideal for combination, oily and very oily skin
• Ideal for acne prone skin
• Ideal for dissolving blackheads without the need for mechanical extraction

Our Salicylic Acid is packed in 30 ml bottles. This is good for about 10 to 12 facial peeling sessions. One session by a Dermatologists usually costs 50 to 300 USD. You will save almost 2500 USD using our high quality Lactic Acid Peel. Our Salicylic Acid Peel is of the same quality, if not higher, used by the finest Dermatologist all over the world.

Salicylic Acid is a strong acid peel almost similar to the strength of TCA Peel and thus, frosting could occur. It is available in 15% and 30% concentrations. We recommend starting with 15% concentration if this is your first time using any chemical peels regardless of your acne severity. As with all of our peels, we added powerful antioxidants and skin healing botanical extracts that will help you achieve the best peeling experience with the shortest downtime possible.

Consult with Skinpeelshop’s experts to determine which peel and concentration is best for you.

Disclaimer: As with any other cosmetic products, response to our products will vary from person to person and as such, result from one individual does not necessarily mean exact similar result to another.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash your face with mild soap and water. Wait 15 to 30 minutes to make sure that the face is completely dry.

2. WITH PEEL PRIMER: Cleanse the skin using a cotton pad moistened with Peel Primer. Apply on areas where Peel will be applied. Wait 5 minutes to ensure primer is completely dry. Skip this step if there is no Peel Primer.

3. Gently shake the peel bottle before use. Apply the Peel Solution using a cotton pad on the areas to be peeled. Ensure that you apply the peel evenly.

4. Apply another layer after 5 minutes by repeating the step above. You can apply 3 to 5 layers of the solution depending on your tolerance and need.

5. 5 minutes after the last layering, neutralize using baking soda plus water mixture (see “Preparing a Neutralizer” below). Neutralize for 1 full minute and then wash your face with mild soap and water. DO NOT PURCHASE PEEL NEUTRALIZER AS THIS IS JUST AN OVERPRICED BAKING SODA.

6. WITH PEEL RECOVERY CREAM: You can immediately apply the Peel Recovery Cream after neutralizing your skin and washing your face. Gently pat face dry and apply a thin coating all over the affected areas and repeat once every 3-6 hours. Skip this step if there is no Peel Recovery Cream.

7. Peeling will begin in 4 to 7 days from the last application of the chemical peel and will last for about 10 to 14 days. Never remove the peeling skin. Skin will appear thick and leathery at this time. Never wash your face frequently to hasten peeling. Think of the dead skin as a protective bandage of the fresh peeling skin. The longer it stays, the better the result. Do not rub or scrub your face during the peeling process.

8. You can add booster layers on day 2 and 3 if you want a deeper peeling. 2-3 layers each day are recommended number of booster layers of Salicylic Acid for a deeper peel. Just ensure that you always neutralize the peel after each last layering of the day.

EXAMPLE USE

MONDAY – DAY ONE
9:45 P.M – Wash face, Let face dry in about 15 to 30 minutes.
10:15 P.M – Apply Peel Primer, let face dry for another 5 minutes.

10:25 P.M – Apply Salicylic Acid Peel for the second layering. Wait 5 minutes.

You can repeat the above process for 1 or 2 more days for a much deeper peel. If it is your first time using any chemical peel, we suggest applying the minimum number of layers first and assessing your skin’s response before adding additional layers.

PREPARING A NEUTRALIZER

A Neutralizer is needed to bring back the skin into its normal PH just after any acid peels. It is also helpful to combat the burning sensation in chemical peels. We recommend not buying any form of neutralizer as it easily disintegrates and expires in about 48 hours. Kindly make your own neutralizer to ensure its effectiveness. ALL chemical peel neutralizers you see being sold online and offline are made from Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as Baking Soda.

Things you need:

1 cup water
1 tablespoon baking soda

Instructions:

Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup water. After 5 minutes of performing any chemical peel, apply the neutralizer using a cotton ball or pad into the affected area. Wash face with cool water after 5 minutes.

WHAT IS FROSTING?

Frosting can occur naturally when applying acid peels. This is a chemical reaction produced by the interaction of the acid with the proteins on our skin. This is similar to frying albumin or egg white in a pan in which, it turns white. Take note that applying each layer increases the peel concentration by x0.25%. This means that for every layer of 30% peel you apply, it will add 7.5% to the current concentration.

Frosting is desirable. Some areas of the skin might turn white while others will not. The more layers you apply, The higher the chance that frosting will occur. Frosting rarely occurs with weaker acid peels unless 3 or more layers are applied. Frosting is a sign that the skin will surely peel within 7 days.

Skin might appear hard, leathery and thick during the peeling process. It will also crumple like a paper. The colors will also be uneven, Red/Dark/Brown areas are signs of deep peeling and might peel longer than other skin areas. The skin will magically be poreless, brighter, smoother and baby-smooth after deep peels.
