In the ever-evolving realm of skincare, at-home peeling solutions have emerged as potent tools in the pursuit of radiant, youthful skin. Among the plethora of options, Glycolic and Mandelic acids stand out for their remarkable effectiveness and gentle nature. Our Repair and Renew Gel is a very effective Glycolic and Mandelic Acid formulation that rejuvenates skin and promotes cellular turnover, helping to reduce skin imperfections.

Understanding Glycolic and Mandelic Acids

Glycolic Acid: As a member of the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family, glycolic acid is renowned for its exfoliating powers. Derived from sugarcane, it boasts a small molecular size, enabling it to penetrate deeply into the skin. This characteristic makes glycolic acid adept at dissolving dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating collagen production. Consequently, it addresses various concerns including fine lines, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation.

Mandelic Acid: Extracted from bitter almonds, mandelic acid belongs to the AHA category as well. What distinguishes mandelic acid is its larger molecular structure, granting it a gentler exfoliating action compared to glycolic acid. This property makes it particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or those prone to irritation. Mandelic acid’s benefits extend to combating acne, refining skin texture, and diminishing discolouration, rendering it a versatile ally in skincare routines.

The Marvels of Peeling Solutions

  1. Exfoliation: Both glycolic and mandelic acid facilitate the removal of dead skin cells, unveiling a smoother, more luminous complexion. By shedding dull surface layers, they pave the way for healthier skin renewal.

  2. Collagen Stimulation: Through their exfoliative action, these peels stimulate collagen synthesis, fortifying the skin’s structure and resilience. This boost in collagen production contributes to firmer, plumper skin over time, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  3. Hyperpigmentation Correction: Glycolic and mandelic acids possess skin-brightening properties, making them effective allies in addressing hyperpigmentation concerns such as age spots, sun damage, and melasma. By promoting cell turnover and inhibiting melanin production, these acids help achieve a more uniform complexion.

  4. Acne Management: The antibacterial properties of mandelic acid render it particularly beneficial for individuals battling acne. By unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and regulating sebum production, mandelic acid aids in preventing breakouts and promoting clearer skin.

HOW TO USE IT?

Apply to cleansed skin for 20-30 minutes and then remove. 
 
For pigmentation, acne and texture issues, use more regularly. Some skins tolerate it better than others. Aim to use every night and cut down on use if you start to notice dryness or irritation. 
 
For general maintenance and skin brightening, use 1-2 times a week and leave on for longer if your skin tolerates it well.
