Line peelings made with high concentrations of pyruvic and lactic acid and stabilized in gel vehicle.
Properties of pyruvic acid
Pyruvic acid produces epidermal and dermal effects. It diminishes the cohesion of corneocytes of the epidermis and prevents greasing of the cornea layer. The exfoliation occurs without dryness, as in the skin, the pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid with moisturizing properties that form a protective film which prevents the dehydration of the skin.
Due to its keratolytic, sebostatic, and antimicrobial action is well indicated for the treatment of acne in all its forms. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycol proteins superior to all peeling products with glycolic acid in a similar degree to that induced by TCA, but without causing discomfort and just a mild erythema.
Its gel texture and extremely acidic pH causes the peeling of the skin to penetrate evenly and slowly with just a slight burning sensation.
After implementation, it is the normal for a mild erythema to appear, which will go away after a few hours.
Indications
Sensitive and dark skin, (phototypes IV to VI) and as a peeling preparation for subsequent treatment with higher concentrations of pyruvic acid.
Indications
Skin aging manifestations, (wrinkles, loss of firmness, lack brightness), melasma, facial hyper pigmentations, and stretch marks.
Application
After cleaning, degreasing and protecting sensitive areas, apply the peel (avoiding the upper lip area) and let it work for approximately 4 minutes or until the desired result has been reached; a mild redness of the skin. Once this has been achieved, remove the peel by washing the application area with water.
To accentuate the skin remodelling effects (aging, wrinkles, sagging ...) is very useful to combine the Pyruvic peel treatment with an antioxidant aditive and after washing, it is recommended to apply Retises Yellow Peel or Retises Forte, either focally on trouble areas or on the whole face.
Also, to accelerate the penetration of pyruvic on the skin, it is recommended to first apply a peeling layer of salicylic acid (Salipeel, Salipeel DS, Spa Classic Peel, or Spa Peel Lightening).
