The Lactic Acid Peel is the studio's gentlest acid treatment — designed for sensitive, dry, or aging skin that benefits from acid work but can't tolerate harsher chemistry.
Lactic acid promotes natural desquamation of the stratum corneum (the outermost dead layer of the epidermis) while simultaneously increasing the skin's ceramide and GAG production — the lipids and natural moisturizers that hold the barrier together. It's exfoliating and hydrating in the same step.
Available in 30%, 35%, and 45% strengths at pH 1.9–3, with the strength selected based on your skin's tolerance and goals. Most clients experience little to no stinging, no visible peeling, and can return to their regular skincare the next day.
Featured ingredient — Lactic acid: functions as a tyrosinase inhibitor (suppresses melanin production), increases dermal hydration, and removes surface proteins for visible brightening. Suitable for Fitzpatrick 1–6.
