About This Treatment

Glow peel combines lactic acid and glycolic acid—gentler AHA peeling than BHA. Lower irritation; ideal for sensitive skin and downtime avoidance. Gradually dissolves stratum corneum, accelerating turnover. Comprehensively enhances skin brightness, clarity, and radiance—gentlest most effective texture peel.

Mechanism of Action

Lactic and glycolic acids (3-10% concentration) weaken glycoprotein bonds between corneocytes; old stratum corneum gradually sloughs. Minimal irritant dermatitis while turnover accelerates (28-day cycle shortens to 21 days). Skin moisture retention improves, natural hydration enhanced. Mild fibroblast stimulation increases collagen production slightly.

Indications

Pigmentation / dullnessGeneral indication (see detailed description)Elasticity / firmnessWrinkles / fine lines

Expected Results

Brightness improvement after single session. 50-70% dullness reduction, marked radiance/clarity increase after 4-6 sessions. Refined texture, less visible pores.
