Very Superficial
Penetrates to Stratum Corneum, Peeling is complete in 0-3 days. Very superficial peels can usually be done as often as once a week. This type of “peel”, generally produces little to no peeling and is ideal for anyone that can’t afford any downtime.
VIVITÉ® Glycolic Chemical Facial Peel is a buffered 70% glycolic compound. This is a very superficial peel, with little to no visible peeling. Its advanced formulation helps improve overall skin clarity and smoothness and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This peel is also ideal for
mild – moderate acne.
MICRO PEEL/AHA
The mildest of peels that corrects minor problems such as rough or dry skin and sun damage. A gentle, three step exfoliation rehy- drates below the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production. This treatment begins with (dermaplaneing) gently scraping the skin with a surgical blade to exfoliate skin and remove hair. After dermaplaning the skin, a light AHA peel is applied. This is a very superficial peel with little to no peeling. Ideal for most skin types, not recommended for skin with active acne.
Sensi Peel® Exfoliating Treatment
This gentle TCA solution is formulated primarily for ethnic skin, and other extremely sensitive skin types. Sensi Peel® will strengthen and brighten the skin while helping to treat sun damage and other forms of hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration). This multi-faceted treatment also provides anti-inflammatory, anti-acne and antibacterial action, making it an excellent choice for helping calm rosacea, as redness and inflammation can subside substantially after treatment. This peel creates very mild peeling.

Hollywood Secret
Anti Aging – Anti Acneic – Brighten / Active Serum, fans are said to include Halle Berry and Charlezie Theron
Active Serum is in the top 5 of my favorite skin products, and I have tried a lot of products!
I’m not alone, all of the Estheticians I know love it and I can’t remember ever having a client say they didn’t like it.
I will sometimes incorperate Active Serum into my Obagi Protocol by mixing it with Exfoderm, or put it directly on my skin before tretinoin ( Retin-A). If I am not using Retin-A, I use Active Serum AM and PM before other creams.
Originally designed as an anti- acne formula, this product contains a combination of ingredients that target other concerns such as aging and pigmentation. Active Serum is appropriate for most skin types and can be incorporated into other skin regimens. Although is Clinical Active serum contains active exfoliates it will not cause skin peeling.
Active serum is applied in the evening after cleansing, and before any creams. Active Serum is contraindicated after chemical peels and many laser treatments, it may also cause irritation when used with some acne products. Be sure to consult with your Esthetician before using this product.
