Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, the Pro Power Peel is a collection of different peel formulas that can be mixed and matched. This is ideal because the skin on your cheeks (which might be dry and hyperpigmented) has entirely different needs than the skin on your chin (which might be oily and prone to breakouts).

The Three Core Formulas

  • UltraBright Peel (Lactic Acid): Designed for hydration and brightening dull skin. Perfect for the cheeks and forehead.
  • AdvancedRenewal Peel (Glycolic Acid): Targets fine lines and signs of aging by stimulating cell turnover.
  • PowerClear Peel (Salicylic + Mandelic Acid): Formulated to clear clogged pores and reduce inflammation. Often applied to the T-zone or active breakouts.

The Process and Recovery

The Pro Power Peel is considered a superficial to light-medium peel. During the treatment, you will feel a moderate tingling or warming sensation. Because it is highly controlled, downtime is minimal.

You may experience mild flaking around days 3 to 5, but rarely the sheets of peeling skin associated with deeper TCA treatments. This makes it an excellent "entry-level" peel or a monthly maintenance treatment to keep skin clear and radiant without forcing you into hiding.
