Enzyme peels offer many benefits for the skin and are often an entry level peel for someone new to chemical peeling treatments. Enzymes are naturally derived from fruits and plant resources. The best plant-based proteolytic enzymes are papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple.
In terms of AHAs, we offer professional peel treatments that are formulated with lactic, malic and mandelic acid over glycolic acid. This is because lactic, malic and mandelic acids have larger molecules than glycolic acid and are therefore less likely to penetrate the epidermis and cause skin irritation. In addition, these AHA peel agents offer an array of skin benefits, such as lactic acid, as it is a natural skin hydrator and is less likely to cause surface dryness.
Salicylic acid, a BHA, is a great peel agent due to its ability to penetrate the pore and reduce inflammation, making it ideal for treating acne. Even sensitive skin will benefit from a low-level salicylic acid peel (5% or less).
Kojic acid is known best for its pigment fighting properties and lightening effects, it is used to treat skin conditions such as sun damage, scars and age spots.
