Formulated with pure medical-grade glycolic acid and expertly enhanced with hyaluronic acid and skin-nourishing actives, this advanced peel is designed to optimise both absorption and hydration. The result is a high-performance resurfacing treatment — making it one of Eden Dermatology’s most advanced and effective peels.

Derived from natural sugar cane, glycolic acid works deep within the stratum corneum (the skin’s outermost layer), gently dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. This process accelerates cellular turnover, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion with improved tone and refined texture.

In addition, this powerful formula helps to stimulate collagen production — the essential structural protein responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As collagen naturally declines with age, the skin can begin to lose its resilience, leading to fine lines and sagging. By supporting collagen renewal, this peel helps to visibly reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and vertical lip lines, promoting a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.

A glycolic acid peel can help with a wide range of skin concerns and conditions, including (but not limited to):

Acne: Glycolic acid peels can help to unclog pores and exfoliate the skin, making them effective at treating acne and preventing future breakouts.

Fine lines and wrinkles: Glycolic acid is a powerful exfoliant that can stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture.

Hyperpigmentation: Glycolic acid peels can help to fade dark spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover.

Uneven skin tone: Glycolic acid peels can help to even out skin tone and improve the overall brightness and radiance of the skin.

Rough or textured skin: Glycolic acid peels can smooth and refine rough or textured skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing.

Oily skin: Glycolic acid can help to regulate oil production in the skin, making it an effective treatment for oily or acne-prone skin.

Lactic acid and glycolic acid are both alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that are commonly used in skincare products and professional treatments. The key differences between lactic acid and glycolic acid are as follows:

Molecular size: Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size than lactic acid, which means it can penetrate the skin more deeply. This makes glycolic acid more effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and acne.

Strength: Glycolic acid is generally considered to be stronger than lactic acid. Glycolic acid has a lower pH, which means it is more acidic and can potentially cause more irritation and sensitization. Lactic acid is milder and gentler on the skin.

Skin type: Glycolic acid is better suited for oily or acne-prone skin types because it is stronger and more effective at treating acne and congestion. Lactic acid is better suited for sensitive or dry skin types because it is less harsh and drying.

Moisture: Lactic acid is a humectant and therefore best suited for those with dry, sensitive skin. Its humectant properties help the skin retain moisture whereas glycolic acid is best suited for oily and acne-prone skin types.

Benefits: Glycolic acid is more effective at treating fine lines, wrinkles and skin blemishes whilst lactic acid is primarily known for its hydrating and exfoliating properties. Both glycolic and lactic acid can help to improve skin texture and tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, and brighten the skin.

Overall, glycolic acid and lactic acid are both effective alpha-hydroxy acids, but their unique properties make them better suited for different skin types and concerns.

A glycolic acid skin peel works by dissolving the outer layer of dead skin cells on the skin's surface. This promotes exfoliation and cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.

If you follow the instructions provided, there should be no discomfort or peeling associated with the use of chemical peels. Unlike mechanical exfoliants that require scrubbing, chemical peels facilitate skin exfoliation, without the need for such methods. By accelerating the natural exfoliation process, they help to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. However, there is no need to worry about the skin peeling off. Instead, you will notice the incredible results of increased cell turnover, which promote a smoother and more radiant complexion.

DO NOT USE:

+ If you're pregnant/breastfeeding

+ If you are undergoing any kind of intense beauty treatment such as (but not limited to) microdermabrasion, other AHA acid treatment, Retin-a, laser therapy etc

+ If you have any broken veins/capillaries.

+ If you're on medication which increases the skins sensitivity such as (but not limited to) roaccutane and for 12 months after your course has been completed.

+ If you commonly have cold sores. People who commonly have cold sores may find that chemical peels can cause an outbreak of cold sores and may want to take their medication before use or avoid use altogether, do not apply this product to your skin while you have an active cold sore.

The safest method to start skin peels is to build tolerance from a low percentage peel such as 10% then increasing the peel strength over a safe period of time. The key thing to remember with skin peels is that time is key.

Building tolerance allows your skins pH to become custom to the acidic nature to the peels over time.

The tolerance method includes a treatment plan that is spread over a number of weeks which will enable you to build from 10% to 15% and then to the final stage of the tolerance peel treatment plan to 20%.

Once tolerance has been correctly built, you will then be able to assess whether your treatment at 20% is enough or whether you need to further increase strengths in order to gain further improved results.

We offer a tolerance kit which includes everything you need to begin skin peels in our online shop.

Yes, it is vital that you use a neutraliser with all our skin peel treatments. The acid solution CANNOT be washed off with just water. we have a specially formulated neutraliser which has been formulated to be kinder on the skin.

Why do I need a neutraliser?

A neutraliser is required to restore your skins natural pH after the treatment has been carried out.

When the Alpha Hydroxy Acid solution is applied to the skin, it bonds to the skin and lowers the skin’s natural ph. Because the solution permanently bonds with the skin, it cannot be washed off with using just water and therefore a neutraliser is required to restore your skins natural ph.

Without a neutraliser your skin’s natural pH cannot be restored which can cause undesired side effects.

No, there is no need for a skin prepping solution prior to use. All that is required is that skin is washed and rinsed thoroughly before commencing treatment.

Yes! Before any peel is performed it is important that a patch test is carried out 48 hours before commencing the full treatment.

A 100ml bottle will provide approximately 50 - 60 full face treatments.
