About This Treatment

LHALA Peel is a Korean peel built around LHA (lipohydroxy acid/capryloyl salicylic acid), combined with alkaline P-Sol/H2sol-type ingredients and lipids. It is positioned as a low-irritation peel that gently refines keratin buildup and pores while aiming for radiance and smoothness with less dryness than aggressive acid peels.

Product-specific peer-reviewed clinical trials for LHALA Peel itself were not identified, so counseling should separate LHA-related evidence from product-specific claims.

Mechanism of Action

LHA is a lipophilic salicylic acid derivative that penetrates slowly and promotes cell-by-cell exfoliation, helping comedones and sebum congestion. Public product materials claim alkaline ingredients soften keratin/pigment debris and support fibroblast activity, but clinical validation of the full LHALA Peel formula is limited. Lipids are included to support the stratum corneum barrier and reduce post-peel dryness.

Indications

Pigmentation / dullnessPoresGeneral indication (see detailed description)Acne

Expected Results

Some patients notice smoother, brighter skin after one session. Pores, sebum congestion and dullness should be assessed over repeated sessions every 2-4 weeks. Because product-specific peer-reviewed evidence is not identified, expected benefits should be framed mainly as LHA-based exfoliation and comedone care.
