Surface Exfoliation – Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) loosens and dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more efficiently.
Deep Absorption – The formula penetrates into the epidermis and dermis, helping to clear clogged pores, reduce acne, and refine skin texture.
Cellular Renewal – TCA stimulates cell turnover, encouraging fresh, healthy skin cells to replace dull and damaged ones.
Collagen Stimulation – As the skin renews, collagen production increases, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Balanced & Gentle Action – The pH-balanced formula ensures effective exfoliation without irritation, making it suitable for daily use and sensitive skin.
Clinical Studies

Chemical peels, or chemoexfoliation, can improve skin appearance by causing histological changes in the epidermal level by restoring the condition of atrophy and atypia accompanied by new subepidermal collagen deposition. In patients with extensive actinic keratosis and diffuse photodamage, peeling is preferable for individual lesions. Poon F., Kang S., Kang S., Chien A. L. Mechanisms and treatments of photoaging. Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine. 2014;31(2):65–74. doi: 10.1111/phpp.12145.
For a complete cleanse, wipe face and neck with the pads nightly after cleansing with the pH Balanced Cleanser. For sensitve skin, start by applying once a week and increase frequency as tolerance allows. Tingle is normal, apply moisturizer if the sensation is too much. In the morning, apply Facial Enhancement Cream or Ultra Anti-Aging Cream and sunscreen. Caution: For external use only.
