| PEEL KIT vs. USING JUST A PEEL? |
With Salicylic Acid, you can deeply cleanse and clear the pores, balance oil production, and train even the most blemished skin to behave like healthy, normal, blemish-free skin. Daily treatments result in marked, if not total, improvement in skin’s appearance, and help to achieve a continuous blemish-free appearance.
Salicylic Acid will also decrease fine lines, smoothe skin, even out pigmentation and reduce pore size.
Salicylic Kits are available for your convenience. Each Salicylic Peel Kit comes with:
1. Daily Exfoliator to use in-between peel application to improve & maintain peel results.
2. Salicylic Acid Peel for use every 2-3 weeks.
3. Pure Hyaluronic Moisturizer to soothe and nourish the skin.
Daily Exfoliators are recommended for those new to using Salicylic skin care and to prepare the skin for Salicylic Peels, boost results from your peel and manage and control surface oil and pore size.
Applying a low strength daily exfoliator, such as Salicylic 2% Daily Exfoliator, will gently promote further cell turnover and help to continue the rejuvenation process for an effective result.
Applying a peel to the skin will dramatically turn over the skin's cells - shedding dead and damaged skin and replacing it with new younger softer looking skin that has a more even skin tone and more youthful look. To perform a treatment that will fully enhance the natural turnover process you must also treat the skin during the "downtime period" otherwise known as the period between when the peeling has ceased and the next peel application.
Also included with your kit, Hyaluronic Moisturizer is perfect for promoting healthy new skin growth, as it is purified, oil-free and one of the best available cosmetic ingredients for retaining moisture.
Salicylic Complete Peel Kits are available in light, medium, and deep strengths.
*kit also includes Gauze Pads, Instructions, Cosmetics Bag
Salicylic became a prominent and respected member of the the skin care community in 1997 at the American Academy of Dermatology where dermatologists confirmed their belief that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is the next generation of products for improving the appearance of aging skin. After reviewing comprehensive data, the dermatologists agreed that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is a superior exfoliant that improves the appearance of aging, sun-damaged skin without all the irritation associated with the popular alpha hydroxy, glycolic acid.
Dr. Albert Kligman, professor emeritus of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine:
"Salicylic acid is effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores, without all the iritation commonly associated with the alpha hydroxy, glycolic acid." It has been found that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing glycolic acid, the most commonly used alpha hydroxy acid.
The superior exfoliation action of Salicylic Acid is thought to be attributed to its lipid- or oil-solubility. It concentrates it's exfoliating action in the lipid-rich outer layers of the skin where the skin's natural rate of exfoliation reduces with aging, causing a buildup of dry, dull skin flakes. According to Dr. Kligman, betas also exfoliate within the pores, a benefit not seen with the glycolic acid product tested.
Glycolic acid is water-soluble, which may lead to its localizing more deeply in the skin, possibly accounting for its observed higher level of irritation. "Salicylic acid was preferred by the study participants," commented Kligman. "If women think a product is too strong or too irritating for their skin, they typically won't use it as often as they should or they won't use enough of it, clearly impacting the product's effectiveness."
