Tell us about the new CosMedix Peptide peel
CosMedix latest innovation is the perfect solution for refreshing a dull, sun damaged skin in record time. Post treatment the skin radiates an instant glow. This intelligent peel complex increases the amount of deeply hydrating ceramides. A well-known component of healthy skin that’s been proven to decrease moisture loss and increase plumpness. It’s safe to use throughout the year, particularly in colder months when seasonal dryness causes everyone’s lines to appear more visible. Making a real difference is further delayed by a sluggish cell turnover. The addition of stimulating ingredients boosts the density of the dermis. Over time, boosting collagen synthesis decreases the chances of experiencing deeper concerns such as premature ageing, dark eye circles and crows-feet.What are the key benefits of this peel?
It’s the first peel of its kind to combine two key active ingredients, a Tripeptide with encapsulated Vitamin A called LG-Retinex (10%) that’s unique to CosMedix. A major factor in addressing tight skin is results are usually temporary. Peels triggering a biochemical process that reverses the symptoms of damage skin and create the optimal reflection of light and water retention. We are incredibly excited to offer safe, purified peels to everyone, including dark skin with no prior skin prep.When would you turn to this product?
