Over-Night Biological Peel

This potent, effective peel for overnight use stimulates the desquamation process - the biological means by which skin restores itself. Our treatment is formulated with naturally-derived ingredients to enhance formula efficacy while performing a safe and gentle peeling action. Urea, an enzyme activator naturally present in the surface layer of the epidermis, performs the vital function of dissolving and loosening the horny layer of skin, stimulating cell renewal and the exfoliation of dead surface skin cells. Blended with HEPES (Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid) and a high concentration of Sodium Hyaluronate, known for its powerful hydrating properties, our peeling treatment helps to gently renew skin, leaving texture softer, more even, and vibrant after first use. With continued use, the formula helps reduce the look of pore size and ameliorate the effects of free-radical and photo-damage. Non-comedogenic, oil-free, and dermatologist tested for safety and efficacy. May be used by all skin types.

HEPES, or Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, is a chemical buffer which is widely used in cell culture to maintain physiological pH. This amino-sulfonic derivative helps to improve skin and limits roughness.

Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid. It is used as a moisturizing agent, viscosifier and emulsifier. It forms a transparent film on the skin which has a soothing and lubricating action. It is a powerful humectant as it is capable of binding 1,800 times its own weight in water.

An enzyme activator naturally present in the surface layer of the skin (epidermis), Urea accelerates the natural process of cell renewal through the exfoliation of dead surface skin cells. The ingredient has a water binding effect in the top layers of the skin thus acting as a natural moisturizing agent in human skin.

Cleanse skin thoroughly prior to application. Apply treatment at night, avoiding immediate eye area, and allow to dry on skin. Leave on overnight and remove with warm water in the morning. May be used three times per week, or more as needed.

Question Does this product work like a facial masque?

  • Answer "Not exactly. It doesn't harden, and it's not something you have to peel off. In fact I leave it on and don't wash it off. I love this product. It makes my skin firm, gets rid of uneven color and brown spots, and gives my complexion a glow. I am 63 years old and I know by now there is no miracle in a bottle :-) but this product does make my skin look great. And it doesn't have harmful chemicals in it. I use it pretty much everyday. I think you will like it and I hope it works for you. xo xo" by Valorie H 05/09/12

  • Answer I can say it works like a serum. by cara y 05/09/12
  • Answer No. It works more like a night cream. I put it on after my cleansing routine each night and since the weather is warm now I don't feel that I need to put on additional night cream. Although, I have normal/combo skin, so for people with dry skin, night cream is probably still needed. I do avoid the eye area when using this and still put on eye cream. by Keri L 05/09/12
  • Answer a bit like a masque, but stays slightly sticky. it does give great results though by AMBER M 05/09/12
  • Answer No. It is a chemical peel that you put on your skin and then leave it on of the whole night. Next morning, you can wash it off. It is very gentle so you would not see result right the way. by Jiajun Z 05/09/12

Question so I don't have to put any moisturizers, just this?

  • Answer I never use a night time moisturizer. You may need one during the day depending your skin type. I always had soft skin. by Suzanne M 05/03/12
  • Answer No moisturizer, only the peel. by Mimi N 05/02/12

Question is it ok to use it with the dark spot corrector and midnight recovery or should i use this every other night and then use the two the other nights?

  • Answer My understanding is that the peel should be used by itself; leave it on overnight and then wash it off in the morning with a warm, damp face cloth. by Donna W 04/23/12
  • Answer In order to maximize effectiveness of this product and decrease the risk of a sensitivity reaction, I would not suggest using this at the same time as other targeted solutions, like the dark spot corrector and midnight recovery. It is a better idea to use these alternately. by Erin H 04/20/12
  • Answer They don't tell you if there is a right or wrong way to use this. I alternate with the peel and my moisturizers. by Irene G 04/19/12
  • Answer I do not use the dark spot corrector Thanks by Norma S 04/19/12

Question Can this product be used instead of Retin A? Also is it safe to use while pregnant?

Friend of mine

I have been using this product for 4 years!

I tried a sample with an earlier order, and I was very pleased with the results after just one use! Can't wait until the full bottle arrives so I can start using this regularly.

Tried a sample and loved the way it made my skin feel.
