Salicylic (BHA) acid is derived from willow bark. It is commonly used to dry up oils and keep pores clean, thus reducing acne. Salicylic acid is also commonly used on more mature skin to offer a deeper exfoliation.

Lactic acid is a mild chemical peel option for those with sensitive skin. It is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and leave your skin feeling more hydrated.

“Skinceuticals Pigment Balancing Peel” combines a number of acids including Glycolic, Kojic, and lactic acid. It is used to treat and correct hyperpigmentation, melasma, photo damaged skin and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne.

“SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel” combines 14% Salicyclic acid, 14 % lactic acid and 10% resorcinol (which is a peeling agent). This peel dramatically diminishes the appearance of discoloration, while smoothing texture, refining the appearance of pores and restoring you to a brighter more uniform complexion. For those looking for a deeper exfoliating option this is a wonderful choice. 3-6 sessions are needed for optimal results, spaced a minimum of 4 weeks apart. Downtime is moderate and can last between 1-2 weeks.

“Skinceuticals Smart TCA Peel” combines 15% Trichloroacetic Acid with 3% Glycolic Acid. Smart TCA Peel significantly improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, laxity, and stubborn discoloration. It is considered to be our deepest peel. A series of 3-6 peels is recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Downtime is moderate with it lasting anywhere between 1-2 weeks.
