Dermathod Priming Booster Peel Pads

Dermathod Priming Booster Peel Pads offer gentle exfoliation with PHA and LHA, ideal for sensitive skin.

Professional Overview

The Dermathod Priming Booster Peel Pads are a gentle leave-on exfoliating treatment designed for overnight use. They fall into the category of chemical exfoliants and are ideal for sessions where minimal irritation is crucial. The pads feature a blend of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and lipohydroxy acid (LHA) to promote cellular turnover without compromising the skin barrier, making them suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.

Key Active Ingredients

• Gluconolactone (PHA): Present as a mild exfoliant, gluconolactone gently smooths the skin's surface while also acting as a humectant, attracting moisture.
• Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA): This derivative of salicylic acid penetrates oil-laden pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, assisting in pore refinement and congestion reduction.
• Glutathione: An antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, helping to reduce oxidative stress and improve skin tone.
• Grape Seed Extract and Tocopherol: These antioxidants further support skin protection against environmental damage and enhance brightness.
• Milk Protein Extract and Polyquaternium-51: These conditioning agents ensure skin comfort and hydration during the exfoliation process.

Effects / Clinical Benefits

These pads provide controlled exfoliation that enhances skin clarity and texture without causing dryness or irritation. They are particularly effective in refining pore appearance and maintaining skin hydration and comfort, due to the slow-release nature of the PHA and LHA.
