Description
APIS 40% acid blend - a chemical peel for professionals that can be used in a series of treatments with controlled adjustment of penetration depth.
The innovative combination of four acids at pH 1.4 works on several skin levels at once: it intensively exfoliates the stratum corneum, slows down ageing processes, constricts dilated capillaries and brightens pigmentation changes. The blend tightens enlarged pores and has a bacteriostatic and antioxidant effect - allowing you to work effectively on combined skin concerns in a single treatment, saving time for both the specialist and the client.
The product is for professional use only - under the strict supervision of a cosmetology specialist or dermatologist. This salon product is not intended for home use.
Indications and contraindications
Indications: skin with signs of ageing, discolouration and dilated capillaries, as well as oily, acne-prone skin with enlarged pores. The blend is especially suitable for cosmetologists who work with combined skin concerns and want to shorten the treatment series.
Contraindications: allergy to any ingredient of the product.
Directions for use
- Apply the blend to cleansed, dry facial skin, avoiding the eyes, mouth and the sides of the nose.
- Leave on for 2–4 minutes (depending on the skin reaction - within a treatment series the time can be gradually extended according to the client's tolerance).
- Apply the neutralising gel for 1–2 minutes, gently massage in and rinse off with cool water.
Shake before use! Store in a dry, dark place.
Active ingredients and their action
-
Phytic acid - prevents new pigmentation spots and reduces existing ones, brightens and whitens the skin, regulates sebum secretion, moisturises and makes the skin smoother and more elastic. Important for treatments that need a brightening and sebum-regulating effect at the same time.
-
Lactic acid - maintains proper moisture levels in the epidermis, so after the treatment the skin does not look "overworked" - it stays soft, smooth and radiant. Reduces the risk of a post-peel reaction after a more aggressive peel course.
-
Ferulic acid - a strong antioxidant that stimulates the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibres, has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces erythema and redness, prevents discolouration and reduces existing discolouration, and optimally moisturises the skin. A valuable choice for sensitive skin that needs antioxidant support.
-
Pyruvic acid - intensively exfoliates the stratum corneum, reduces enlarged pores, has an antibacterial effect and strengthens the skin barrier. Effective in treatments for oily, acne-prone skin where reducing pore visibility and controlling bacterial activity matter.
