Philoderm Acne Peeling 50ml
What it’s for: Decongesting oily, uneven skin; helps reduce blackheads, shine, and visible pore size.
What’s inside: Salicylic Acid 20% (BHA) + Glycolic Acid 10% (AHA) + Lactic Acid 10% (AHA) in a glycerol/alcohol base.
Effect: Keratolytic pore-clearing plus surface refinement for a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
Application (pro): Thin, even layer (≈1.5–2.0 ml face); stop at first uniform erythema; neutralize and rinse. 4–6 sessions every 2–4 weeks.
Important: Daily SPF 50+; resume actives after re-epithelialization. Avoid if salicylate-sensitive or skin is irritated/recently tanned; for darker skin tones use a test spot and shorter contact time.
Ingredients
-
Salicylic Acid 20% – oil-soluble BHA, pore-clearing keratolytic
-
Glycolic Acid 10% (AHA) – refines surface texture
-
Lactic Acid 10% (AHA) – supports hydration balance and gentle exfoliation
-
Glycerol in an alcoholic base
-
Fill size: 50 ml
Indications
-
Congested, oily skin with blackheads and blemishes
-
Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
-
Selective, spot use on hyper-keratinised areas (e.g., callus islands) as a targeted application*
-
*Apply only to thickened areas; follow professional protocol.
How to use (professional use)
-
Prep: Cleanse/degrease; protect sensitive areas (inner eye corners, nostrils, lip border). Pause retinoids 3–7 days prior; daily SPF 50+ is mandatory.
-
Application: Apply thinly & evenly with a fan brush/gauze (face typically 1.5–2.0 ml). Work in zones.
-
Endpoint: Stop at the first uniform erythema or any distinct discomfort.
-
Neutralization: Because AHAs are included, use the Philoderm Peeling Neutralizer for 30–60 s; repeat if needed, then rinse thoroughly with water. (Pure salicylic acid would be self-neutralising; in this blend a neutralizer is required.)
-
Series & intervals: 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Low downtime; mild flaking may occur.
-
Aftercare: Cool/soothe post-treatment; wear SPF 50+ daily. Resume actives (retinoids/AHAs/BHAs) only after full re-epithelialisation.
Practical details
-
Typical usage per full face: 1.5–2.0 ml → approx. 25–33 treatments per 50 ml (technique dependent)
Safety notes: Contraindicated in known salicylate sensitivity, active infections/inflammation, or recent UV exposure. For darker skin tones, proceed conservatively (shorter contact time, test spot) and maintain strict photoprotection.
