Description
APIS 40% acid blend is a professional chemical peel solution for cosmetologists dealing with skin ageing, pigmentation and acne correction. pH 1.4 ensures intensive renewal of the stratum corneum that is hard to achieve with milder products - which means visible results after the first treatments in a series.
Indications: recommended for skin with signs of ageing, loss of firmness, uneven tone and a tendency to breakouts.
Contraindications: allergy to any of the product's ingredients.
Directions for use: apply the blend to cleansed, dry facial skin, avoiding the eyes, mouth and the sides of the nose, and leave for 2-4 minutes (depending on the skin's reaction, the time may be extended over the treatment series). Apply neutralising gel for 1-2 minutes, massage gently and rinse off with cool water.
SHAKE BEFORE USE! Store in a dry, dark place.
The product is intended for professional use only under the strict supervision of a cosmetology specialist or dermatologist.
Active ingredients
-
Lactobionic acid - has a strong soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, smooths, tones and softens the epidermis, reduces the visibility of dilated capillaries and the tendency to redness. Especially useful for clients with sensitive skin, for whom intensive peeling with other acids would cause too strong a reaction.
-
Pyruvic acid - cleanses and reduces seborrhoea, eliminates blackheads, speeds up healing of inflammation, increases skin density, smooths wrinkles and closes enlarged pores. This lets you address both oily skin and ageing with first wrinkles in a single treatment.
-
Lactic acid - supports skin hydration and maintains the right moisture level in the epidermis; thanks to this effect, the skin stays soft, smooth and radiant even after an intensive chemical peel.
-
Azelaic acid - has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, reduces erythema in rosacea and brightens discolouration. It tackles pigmentation and redness at the same time, reducing the number of treatments needed.
