CLINICARE Chemical Skin Peels stimulates new cell growth and collagen production, helping to reveal fresher, clearer, brighter skin. They remove the top layer of dead skin cells and encourage skin to grow, revealing a softer, smoother complexion. The superficial peels contain a mixture of Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acids which remove the upper layer of the epidermis encouraging regeneration and rejuvenation of new skin cells. The result is to improve clinical appearance of skin with fewer fine lines, a brighter complexion, improved skin tone and a more youthful appearance.
