MULTI PEEL
A "multi acid peel" is a type of chemical peel that combines a blend of different exfoliating acids, like glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, or citric acid, to simultaneously target various skin concerns like texture, tone, acne, and signs of aging, providing a more comprehensive resurfacing treatment compared to using a single acid alone; often marketed as a gentler yet effective way to exfoliate and improve skin appearance.
Key points about multi acid peels:
-
Multiple acids for diverse benefits:
Each acid within the blend may have specific properties, allowing the peel to address multiple skin issues at once, such as reducing fine lines, brightening hyperpigmentation, and unclogging pores.
-
Customizable options:
Depending on the skin type and concerns, the concentration and combination of acids can be adjusted to create a personalized peel.
-
Gentle exfoliation:
When formulated correctly, multi acid peels can be gentler than stronger single-acid peels, making them suitable for most skin types.
-
Potential side effects:
Mild redness, tingling, and temporary dryness are common after a multi acid peel, but these usually subside quickly.
Example of a popular multi acid peel: Murad's Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel, which combines a blend of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) to exfoliate and nourish the skin simultaneously.
