Our 50% Alpha Beta Chemical peels can truly stop your acne outbreaks in its tracks. The Beta component, Salicylic Acid, is a common treatment for acne, but we have increased the concentration to a more effective level than you can get over the counter. In addition, we have the second component: the Alpha Hydroxy acid (Glycolic acid). At 50%, it helps keep your skin exfoliated and fresh, preventing the ability of acne to form under the skin and in the pores.

The next step up from our 40% Alpha Beta peel, this is a light/medium peel, and is significantly stronger. This strength of peel is great for people who already know how their skin responds to a chemical peel.

Beginners should start with the 30-40% Alpha Beta and work up to the 50%. This peel does a great job of retexturizing the skin, restoring the radiance of your youth.
These easy to use peels combine the benefits of both the AHA's and BHA's, with light to moderate peeling at the 50% concentration. These peels are repeated monthly and this kit provides enough peel solution for approximately 6 months worth of peels.

Your skin will feel softer, look smoother, with improved texture and tone and reduced hyperpigmentation from sun damage. Those are the differences on the surface of your skin. With a peel of this strength, a full course of peels of 8-10 peels are needed to see optimal results in fine lines, though immediate results will be seen with acne and hyperpigmentation problems.

This is a 30ml (1fl oz) bottle of each peeling agent (2 bottles total, 2 oz total), medical quality, pH 1 in amber glass to preserve the activity of the product.

Along with the peel you will receive a detailed instruction manual and a free sample of our best selling Microdermabrasion Crystals (one per shipment).Chemical peels are versatile tools that are used to resurface the upper layers of your skin by loosening the bonds between the dead skin cells that dull your skin, while stimulating the collagen beneath the skin to form and align, which in turn plumps up the fine lines and scars from below the surface. They have been around since Cleopatra bathed in milk (contains lactic acid!) to make her skin smooth. Fortunately, science has made a lot of progress since then and the chemical peels available now are sophisticated and effective.Our Alpha Beta peel contains both Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid.

Glycolic Acid is a naturally occurring chemical belonging to the Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) family. Derived from sugar cane, this important AHA is the smallest of the fruit acids and is able to penetrate the skin, allowing it to effectively dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. The dead skin cells are what cause a dull, uneven skin tone, and the blocking of pores leading to blackheads and acne. This dissolving action of the Glycolic Acid allows the dead cells to slough off, leaving behind a smoother skin surface with clear pores.
This also helps stimulate collagen formation under the skins surface which helps plump up the skin from beneath, smoothing out fine surface wrinkles and superficial scars. Salicylic acid, a common beta hydroxy acid, has been used for treating acne for decades. In fact, acne treatment remains the primary use for beta hydroxy acids. Its effect on the epidermis and upper dermis are similar to those of prescription Retin-A, but with less irritation. It is soluble in oil and can exfoliate oily skin areas, even within oil-rich pores. Therefore, it has a beneficial effect on acne, pigmentary disturbances, and sun damaged skin.
