Peeling fruit acids

Our peel is perfectly suited for pregnant women. Gentle and formulated without essential oils, it refines skin texture, tightens pores and provides a luminous complexion.

Peeling is an act consisting of applying a chemical substance (most often an acid) to the skin in order to cause a limited and controlled destruction of the epidermis or even the superficial layers of the dermis. The aim of this destruction is to obtain a regeneration of the destroyed layers and to stimulate the production of elastic fibers and collagen in the underlying layers, in order to densify the skin. The abrasion is carried out mechanically when the galenic contains grains (for example the apricot kernel powder in the All-Apricot Scrub).

Always in the evening. It is recommended 2 to 3 times a week for combination to oily skin to combat hyperkeratinization and regulate seborrhea.
For mature skin, also 2 to 3 times a week to stimulate cell renewal and restore radiance to the complexion.
For sensitive skin, once a week is enough to gently exfoliate.

Like all peels, they are not suitable for irritated, eczematous skin. It should be used with caution on sensitive or couperose skin (once a week, monitoring the pause time).

Also, do not apply it before going into the sun or expose yourself if the skin is red after application.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are classified according to the length of the carbon chain: glycolic acid (GA), citric acid (CA), malic acid (MA), tartaric acid (TA) and lactic acid (LA). These are acids present in many plants and milk.
They have effects that may seem contradictory. In fact, they improve hydration by playing a humectant role (capacity to retain water) while having a peeling effect  ; which explains their high tolerances.

The peeling effect is explained by the action on keratinization. They reduce the cohesion between corneocytes (cells of the superficial layer of the epidermis) until desquamation by making a superficial peeling well tolerated and therefore popular. It is indicated in acne, melasma, scar, it refines the skin texture, regulates seborrhea. By stimulating the synthesis of polysaccharides of the extracellular matrix they improve wrinkles.

However, studies show an irritating and photosensitizing effect at high concentrations, which is why our dermatologist has developed a risk-free formula suitable for use at home. For a complete action, it is important to provide all types of AHA. This is the case in the Alaena Fruit Acid Peel thanks to extracts of blueberry, sugar cane, maple, orange and lemon.

Yes, when done regularly, peeling reduces the hyperkeratinization that causes comedones and tones the skin. You may then have the impression of seeing more blackheads because they rise to the surface before being eliminated.

It is recommended to do it in the evening to avoid the risk of sunbathing immediately afterwards. Start with a short application time (5 minutes) and then increase gradually. Do not expose yourself if the skin is irritated or red.
