Skin aging and hyperpigmentation are serious concerns for many women, yet chemical peels - a solution for improving skin texture and appearance - are still too daunting to most. The good news is that there is a more gentle way of harnessing the benefits of chemical peels - and you can do it safely in your own bathroom!
The key to a chemical peel is Hydroxy Acids. Known and used in dermatology since 1946, Hydroxy Acids have become more present in dermatologists’ practices since the 1970’s. In the early 80’s, the cosmetic field also turned to these molecules for their remarkable effects on skin aging. Trained dermatologists and physicians can use a 50% or higher concentration in their treatments, but at-home peels are limited to 10%. This low concentration is safe and gentle on the skin, and allows for a regular application.
Lierac, continually inspired by dermatological techniques, created High Peel Concentrate with a 10% concentration of Hydroxy Acids, and one unique twist: these Hydroxy Acids are time-released. The highly concentrated serum has an undisputable peeling and rejuvenating effect. High Peel fights photo-induced aging (deep wrinkles, dull and uneven complexion, thickened and dehydrated skin) caused by decreased cellular renewal. By harnessing a proprietary skin-renewing blend of high-tech Hydroxy-Acid’s derived from natural sugars, the serum moisturizes while correcting the principal signs of aging.
High Peel combines 2 different Hydroxy Acids, Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid, for an optimum effectiveness to tolerance ratio.
High Peel uses 1% of a new 
generation Salicylic Acid created from equal proportions of Salicylic Acid and polysaccharides extracted from acacia gum. When Salicylic Acid is affixed to acacia gum, it:
- Limits the penetration of Salicylic Acid.
- Stabilizes Salicylic Acid in the upper layers of the epidermis.
- Exfoliates like the free form of the acid but without irritation.
High Peel’s second star Hydroxy Acid is 9% Glycolic Acid that is encapsulated in “host” molecules, cyclodextrins, which are natural molecules obtained from the enzymatic breakdown of a sugar (starch). This encapsulation:
- Controls the release of Glycolic Acid, reducing skin irritation.
- Increases its exfoliating action.
- Stimulates cellular renewal.
Finally, 5% Urea, the main component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor, moisturizes, softens and improves skin tolerance.
High Peel leaves skin soft, smooth, and perfectly moisturized after the first use, and after 6-8 weeks of use, High Peel diminishes wrinkles, smoothes skin texture, evens out and brightens complexion, and hydrates skin.
