Retinol peel

What it is

A concentrated vitamin A treatment applied in clinic and left on the skin for a set period. It accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen, making it particularly effective for fine lines, pigmentation and sun-related textural change.

• A high-strength vitamin A peel applied in clinic and removed at home after a set number of hours.
• A gentler entry point into resurfacing than stronger acid peels.
• Ideal for fine lines, pigmentation and early textural change.

What it treats / who it's for

• Fine lines and early photoageing
• Pigmentation and uneven tone
• Skin already accustomed to retinoids

How it works

• Retinol accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen from within.
