- Contains 25% concentrated TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) + Salicylic 5%
- TCA works by denaturing the keratin proteins in the skin, creating a controlled damaged that prompts the skin to peel and for new skin cells to regenerate.
- Salicylic acid has been proven in many studies to reduce the appearance of acne by softening keratin, the protein that holds skin together.
- Salicylic also works at unclogging pores, and penetrating into the skin to slough away debris.
- Glycolic acid is an AHA that is best for improving texture and reducing the appearance of lines. Its anti-aging benefits come from its small molecular size that can deeply penetrate the skin
- Green tea extract is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits that come from its natural polyphenols, or naturally occurring plant chemicals.
- Chamomile extract is a well-known ingredient to soothe sensitive skin but valuable for all skin types. A main compound called apigenin, helps improve the skin barrier function which aids in moisture retention and in effectively protecting the skin against toxins
- Comfrey extract contains naturally occurring healing compounds (allantoin and rosmarinic acid) to assist in wound repair and to reduce inflammation

Application
Step 1
Cleanse the skin with warm water or a mild cleanser. Repeat. Allow skin to air dry.
Optional: Apply an isopropyl alcohol prep pad to treatment area to degrease the skin and remove any oils, dirt, or impurities. Do not use alcohol prep pad if you have sensitive skin.

- The results for each person will vary depending on skin sensitivity, contact time, number of layers, and skin density.

- You will experience a stinging or tingling sensation. If excessive stinging or discomfort occurs, neutralize the peel by flushing the skin with cool water.
- Redness may occur for a short period of time, especially for those with sensitive skin types. If redness persists longer than 20-30 minutes, decrease the contact time of the peel or discontinue use.
