Chemical peels use specific acids to remove dead skin cells, clear pores, and promote a fresh, glowing complexion. Depending on your skin goals, different acids target different layers of the skin. 

 

Quick Guide to Common Peeling Acids

• AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): These include Glycolic and Lactic acid. They work on the skin’s surface to dissolve dead cells, making them excellent for brightening dull skin and boosting hydration. 

• BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids): Salicylic acid is the most common BHA. Because it is oil-soluble, it penetrates deep into clogged pores, making it the ultimate tool for fighting acne and managing oily skin. 

• PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids): Lactobionic acid is a gentle modern exfoliant that acts as an antioxidant and humectant, ideal for sensitive skin

• TCA (is a highly effective acid used primarily for medium-depth chemical peels. It penetrates deeper than everyday AHAs or BHAs, breaking down old skin cells to trigger intense cellular turnover and collagen production. BioRePeel uses 35% TCA for the face however owing to its biphasic formula it has minimal down time.
