What is the NeoStrata Pro System Retinol Peel?
The NeoStrata Pro System Retinol Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel that contains 3% retinol, a potent derivative of Vitamin A. Retinol is renowned for its ability to accelerate cellular turnover, boost collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Enhanced with a synergistic blend of active ingredients, the peel provides a targeted approach to skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
Key Ingredients
3% Retinol: Stimulates cell turnover, exfoliating dead skin cells.Promotes collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and firmness.Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven texture.
Bisabolol: A soothing agent derived from chamomile.Reduces redness and irritation during and after the peel.
Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant protection against free radicals.Enhances skin hydration and barrier function.
Amino Acid Complex: Supports skin repair and promotes a healthy, radiant complexion.
Mechanism of Action
The NeoStrata Pro System Retinol Peel works through a multi-phase process:
Exfoliation: The high concentration of retinol penetrates the epidermis, accelerating the shedding of dead skin cells. This process unclogs pores, smooths rough texture, and reveals fresher, healthier skin.
Collagen Stimulation: Retinol interacts with retinoic acid receptors in the skin to boost collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Brightening: By targeting melanocytes, retinol reduces the appearance of pigmentation and evens skin tone.
Calming and Repairing: The addition of soothing agents like bisabolol ensures that the peel minimizes irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin types when used under professional supervision.
