Medik8 Chemical Peel Stamford Key Actives explained
MANDELIC ACID
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that possesses the effectiveness of beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). It is both oil and water soluble, allowing it to penetrate oily pores while acting on the skin's surface. Inside the pores, it helps dissolve blockages of dead skin cells and sebum, which can enlarge the pores. On the skin's surface, it exfoliates dead skin cells, promoting cellular renewal and a more organized epidermis. Additionally, mandelic acid has antibacterial properties that help manage bacterial accumulation on the skin, preventing breakouts.
GLYCOLIC ACID
Glycolic acid, the smallest among the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), easily penetrates the skin. It targets corneocytes and efficiently dissolves the desmosomes (the adhesive that binds our skin cells), thereby accelerating cell turnover and significantly enhancing the appearance of superficial pigmentation following acne.
LACTIC ACID
Lactic acid can promote the shedding of the stratum corneum, helping to reduce pigmentation and discolouration. Its ability to retain moisture aids in hydrating the skin's upper layers. Highly nourishing, lactic acid also stimulates ceramide synthesis, enhancing the protection of the skin’s barrier function.
SALICYLIC ACID
Salicylic acid is a potent beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Its lipid solubility allows it to effectively penetrate pores, making it capable of exfoliating and clearing blocked follicles. Additionally, salicylic acid possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory properties.
LIPOHYDROXY ACID
Lipohydroxy acid (LHA) is similar to salicylic acid but has an added fatty chain, making the molecule larger and more oil-soluble. This slight structural difference gives LHA similar benefits to salicylic acid without the discomfort it can cause on the skin. LHA promotes desquamation of individual desmosomes, leading to a more uniform exfoliation. Its enhanced penetration into pores makes coagulation more commonly observed by therapists when using the Clarity Peel.
ARGININE
Arginine is an amino acid that naturally contributes to the skin's Natural Moisturising Factors in the epidermis. It temporarily bonds with exfoliating acids to gradually release them into the skin, reducing irritation. This process slows the acids' impact on the skin, preventing the initial sting from peels and allowing clients to keep the peel on the skin longer, resulting in enhanced outcomes. Arginine enables a unique Time Release Technology with Medik8 Professional Peels.
PYRUVIC ACID
A small alpha-keto acid with strong exfoliating properties, pyruvic acid effectively penetrates skin layers to accelerate skin cell growth, making it perfect for addressing premature aging and uneven skin texture.
