Brightening Peel Kit

What it is: A high-concentration, allover brightening peel with 34% glycolic acid.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types and tones.

What it does: The peel helps improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation, fine lines, pores and texture, all in the comfort of your home. No downtime.

What to expect: Because of the ingredients used in the Brightening Peel, the brand strongly recommends that you follow all application steps, including pre- and post-peel. This will help ensure the best results and best skin comfort. Everyone's skin responds differently. You may experience visible flaking or peeling, especially 2 to 4 days post-treatment. This is normal. DO NOT exfoliate or pull the skin on the treated area. It will come off on its own. On the other hand, you may not experience any visible skin peeling after the treatment. This is also normal.

How to use: To prep, avoid using the peel for four weeks after using another strong peel or facial treatment. Make sure to discontinue use of cosmetic products with retinoid/retinol and/or AHAs/BHAs.

- Day 1-14: First, cleanse skin with a cleanser that does not contain acids or exfoliants. Once skin is dry, open the peel vial by placing thumb on the arrows on the cap and pushing up. This will break the foil safety seal in the center. Carefully remove the crimp seal and stopper. If the kit purchase has a tray included, place peel viol into perforated hole for stability during application. Fold the provided gauze pad into quarters. Using the dropper, apply 1 to 2 drops full of Peel to the gauze, evenly distributing the solution from the center of the pad to the edges. Make sure the gauze is not dripping. Then apply one layer of the Peel solution, using a single passage over skin, working in this order: forehead, lower face (around the mouth, avoiding lips), nose area and lastly cheeks (don't apply above your cheekbones). Avoid eye area entirely. Wait 3 to 5 minutes after first layer is applied. If any burning/stinging lasts more than 5 minutes, stop application. Otherwise you may apply up to 2 additional layers. After the final layer is applied, wait 15 to 30 minutes before applying moisturizer to keep treated area moisturized.

- Post-Peal Care for Day 16+: Avoid excessive sun exposure. If you must be outside, reapply SPF every 2 to 3 hours.

Pro tips: For two weeks prior to treatment, apply Daily Dark Spot Intercept followed by Daily Renewal Cream and Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 (all sold separately) each morning. This primes the skin, creating an ideal condition for the treatment and ensuring best post-peel results.
