Peeling fruit acids

Our peel is ideal for pregnant women. Gentle and formulated without essential oils, it refines skin texture, tightens pores, and provides a luminous complexion.

Peeling is a procedure that involves applying a chemical substance (most often an acid) to the skin to cause limited and controlled destruction of the epidermis or even the superficial layers of the dermis. The aim of this destruction is to regenerate the destroyed layers and stimulate the production of elastic fibers and collagen in the underlying layers, in order to densify the skin. Abrasion is carried out mechanically when the galenic contains grains (for example, the apricot kernel powder in the All-Apricot Scrub).

Always in the evening. It is recommended 2 to 3 times a week for combination to oily skin to combat hyperkeratinization and regulate seborrhea.
For mature skin, also 2 to 3 times a week to stimulate cell renewal and restore radiance to the complexion.
For sensitive skin, once a week is enough to gently exfoliate.

Like all peels, they are not suitable for irritated, eczematous skin. It should be used with caution on sensitive or couperose skin (once a week, monitoring the application time).

Also, do not apply it before going out into the sun or expose yourself if the skin is red after application.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are classified according to the length of the carbon chain: glycolic acid (GA), citric acid (CA), malic acid (MA), tartaric acid (TA), and lactic acid (LA). These acids are found in many plants and milk.
They have effects that may seem contradictory. In fact, they improve hydration by acting as a humectant (capacity to retain water) while having a peeling effect; which explains their high tolerance.

The peeling effect is explained by the action on keratinization. They reduce the cohesion between corneocytes (cells of the superficial layer of the epidermis) until desquamation, making a superficial peel well tolerated and therefore popular. It is indicated for acne, melasma, scars, it refines the skin texture, regulates seborrhea. By stimulating the synthesis of polysaccharides of the extracellular matrix, they improve wrinkles.

However, studies show an irritating and photosensitizing effect at high concentrations, which is why our dermatologist has developed a safe formula suitable for home use. For a complete action, it is important to provide all types of AHAs. This is the case in the Alaena Fruit Acid Peel thanks to extracts of blueberry, sugar cane, maple, orange, and lemon.

Yes, when performed regularly, peeling reduces the hyperkeratinization that causes comedones and tones the skin.

It is recommended to apply in the evening to avoid the risk of sunbathing immediately afterward. Start with a short application time (5 minutes) and then gradually increase. Do not expose yourself if your skin is irritated or red.

Yes, our Fruit Acid Peel is gentle and well-tolerated. Our dermatologist recommends gradually increasing the application time for optimal tolerance.
