Alpha Beta Medium Peel Duo - Salicylic 20% & Glycolic 50% - Medpeel

Alpha Beta Medium Peel Duo - Salicylic 20% & Glycolic 50%

The Alpha Beta Peel is a double-acid peel treatment that utilizes an application of Beta Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic) followed by an application of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (Glycolic). Best for combination/oily skin, aging or blemish concerns, the medium-strength Alpha Beta duo is great for experienced peel users of all skin tones looking to take the next step in their skin treatment series.

By combining the individual powers of 50% glycolic and 20% salicylic acid, the Alpha Beta peel duo provides a unique and effective form of exfoliation for those struggling with breakouts and unbalanced skin. During the treatment, applying salicylic acid first will cause the glycolic acid to penetrate the skin more deeply - resulting in a superior facial peel.

This peel set will target clogged pores, excess oil production, breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration while increasing moisture retention and promoting collagen for healthier, clearer and more radiant skin.

FOR BEST RESULTS

We strongly recommend conducting a patch test 3 days before applying the peel to a large area of skin to ensure no negative or unusual reactions occur.

When applying any peel, it is important to first begin building up the skin's tolerance by starting with milder, lower strength acids before attempting stronger peels and by using a daily exfoliator for about a week prior to peel application.

Prepping the skin with an exfoliator, such as our Medpeel Glycolic 10% Daily Exfoliator, will ensure a more even, thorough absorption of the peel acid. Continuing to exfoliate regularly in between peel treatments will also prolong your results.

DOWNTIME:

The Alpha Beta medium strength peel may have some mild to moderate downtime and may produce some visible peeling or flaking of the skin. The skin may be a bit pink/red and tight for a few hours following the peel. It is important to use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily, with a minimum of SPF 30, to protect treated skin during the healing process.

DESCRIPTION

WHAT IT IS:
The Alpha Beta Medium Peel consists of 20% Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid) and 50% Glycolic Acid (Alpha Hydroxy Acid). The combination of BHA & AHA creates a more effective level of peel because the application of Salicylic before Glycolic allows for the acid to penetrate the skin better.

After Your Peel
Generously apply Daily Collagen Complex or Hyaluronic Serum  as needed for tight, dry skin. Use a minimum of broad spectrum SPF 30 every day to protect healing skin. Begin using a daily exfoliator in between peels for long lasting results.
