Dermaceutic chemical peels are a medical peel that are not available in the high street and should not be confused with very mild and gentle peels available from beauty therapists.
The Dermaceutic skincare range which accompany the peel products, as part of an at-home treatment programme, contains a variety of antioxidants and alpha-hydroxy-acids to help achieve the best results from the chemical peeling programmes.
How a superficial chemical peel works
Superficial peels normally use a naturally occurring acid found in fruits called glycolic acid. These are the mildest medical chemical peels and are excellent for improving a fresher, younger look with a reduction in skin imperfections such as acne or damaged skin.
What do Dermaceutic Chemical Peels contain?
Depending on the particular Dermaceutic chemical peel product used, it may contain: glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or mandelic acid. (See product range details below for further information).
Is this a superficial, medium or deep peel?
Very superficial to medium depth peels.
What skin problems do they claim to treat?
The Dermaceutic chemical peel range, in combination with special at-home skincare creams, can treat various skin conditions and disorders.
They can be used to freshen up the skin and can help to treat acne, oily skin, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, photo damage and ageing skin. Some formulations within the range are also suitable for treating stretch marks and melasma.
They can be used on the face, the neck, the chest, the body and the hands. Most, but not all, are suitable for all skin types/colours.
