ABOUT
The Obagi Radiance Peel is primarily composed of salicylic acid, which is used to exfoliate the skin. It is most appropriate for superficial skin problems like fine lines and wrinkles, mild to moderate sun damage, uneven tone and texture, acne and acne scarring.
What is the Obagi Radiance peel?
The Radiance peel is a combination of Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Calming ingredients such as Willow Bark and Liquorice root.
This gentle peel works by loosening cells on the top layers of the outermost epidermal layer, allowing for better peeling and exfoliation of the skin.
This increased exfoliation increases the turnover rate of the epidermal cells, resulting in a smoother, healthier looking skin.
The Radiance peel also has an antimicrobial (an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth) effect on the dermis, making it highly effective for acne.
How many do you need?
A course of 4-6 peels is recommended to receive optimum results, 3-4 weeks apart.
What to expect
This peel can be done in your lunchtime as this peel is gentle and does not require downtime.
The skin feels a little tight and some small areas of more sensitive skin can become a little reddened for up to a day.
If you experience reddish looking skin in some areas, then the area may become slightly flaky for a day or two.
