How it Works
Research shows that applying Salicylic Acid prior to applying Glycolic or Lactic Acid will cause the AHA peel acids to better penetrate the skin, resulting in a totally unique and highly superior facial peel with increased Glycolic & Salicylic benefits.
The combination of the both Hydroxy Acids in succession makes for an extremely thorough peel. Both Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic acid perform at a more effective level when used in the Alpha Beta format. The AHA Kojic Pigment Correction peel can also be used after application of Salicylic Acid.
MEET THE ALPHA-BETA PEEL!
For a truly unique form of exfoliation, the alpha-beta peel combines the water-soluble properties of glycolic acid with the lipid-soluble properties of salicylic acid. In other words, this dynamic peel expands upon the best qualities of the two most popular acids in skin care. Although glycolic acid successfully exfoliates the outermost later of dead skin and debris, it fails short of directly addressing the complex issue of excess oil and clogged pores. Similarly, salicylic acid’s pore-clearing duties can be enhanced and performed more efficiently in conjunction with glycolic acid. Essentially, the alpha-beta peel provides the ultimate tag-team of skin rejuvenation and restoration.
The Alpha
The alpha hydroxy acid peel is the gold standard of skin peels! With regular use, it can restore health and vitality to a damaged complexion. Undoubtedly, glycolic acid takes home the prize for a handful of chemical peel superlatives including “most well-rounded” and “most popular”. By and large, glycolic acid is the most frequently utilized chemical exfoliant in both professional and home settings. This is in part due to its user-friendly accessibility as well as its treatment option variability. Hence, glycolic acid is a superb exfoliant for those afflicted with acne, wrinkles, fine lines as well as photodamage and discoloration.
- Reduces Discoloration (Hyperpigmenation/Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)
- Enhances Collagen Production
- Encourages Cell Turnover
- Increases Moisture Retention
The Beta
The beta hydroxy acid peel is commonly used to treat problematic skin conditions concerning whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules and cysts. By promoting cell turnover and reducing clogged pores, the salicylic acid peel renders significant skin-clearing results! However, those benefits are merely the tip of the iceberg! Salicylic acid can also be used to effectively treat mild to moderate discoloration, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles as well as pore disfiguration.
- Reduces Oil
- Exfoliates Clogged Pores (Comedones)
- Enhances Product Absorption
- Improves Pore Shape/Function
Alpha + Beta = The Phi
For those suffering with an acneic skin condition, the alpha-beta peel is the ultimate “golden ratio”. By combining the individual powers of glycolic and salicylic acid, a new and truly effective form of exfoliation has been developed for those troubled with acne vulgaris. As glycolic acid goes to work on the skin’s surface by evenly exfoliating superficial dead skin and debris, salicylic acid is then able to fully penetrate into clogged and oil-laden pores. The two-step technology of the alpha-beta peel is an ideal system for acne-sufferers!.
Alpha + Beta = The Phi
- Always follow individual peel instructions! Each kit
includes detailed directions.
- Begin with the lowest peel strength and gradually progress
to an advanced concentration.
- “Spot treat” a discriminate area of the face or neck to
test for negative reactions.
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen particularly during extended
periods of sun-exposure.
- Always consider user-tolerance, skin type and skin
condition.
