Actipeel Gel 60 ml

Actipeel Gel is a dermatological (for skin use) product indicated for skin rejuvenation, moisturization, glow, and lightening. It accelerates the removal of dead skin cells and improves skin regeneration leading to healthier, softer and more radiant skin.

• Lactic acid promotes the synthesis of ceramide (skin lipids) and improves the skin barrier function. It further increases the natural hyaluronic acid content in the skin, thus improving skin moisture.
• Dimethylaminoethanol improves skin firmness with possible improvement in the underlying facial muscle tone.
• Phyllanthus emblica extract promotes skin lightening and increases collagen production.
• Chamomilla recutita extract increases wound healing of the skin.
• Boswellia serrata gum extract exerts anti-inflammatory effects.

Clean and remove the makeup with a degreasing lotion. Protect the areas around the eyes, mouth and nose by applying petroleum jelly. Using a cotton bud/gauze/brush, apply the peel quickly (approximately 20–30 seconds) to the affected areas/face. 

Treat areas in the following order: forehead, right cheek, nose, left cheek and chin. If needed, treat the perioral, upper and lower eyelids at last. Apply feathering strokes at the edges to blend with the surrounding skin and prevent demarcation lines. Remove the peel with water after 5–10 minutes. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

FAQ

Question: How does Actipeel Gel work?

Answer: Actipeel Gel is a chemical peel that consists of Lactic acid. It may work on pigmentary lesions by accelerating the turnover of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). It also removes dead skin cells and improves skin regeneration.

Question: What precautions should I take while using Actipeel Gel?

Answer: Actipeel Gel is for dermatological (for skin) use only. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with cold water. To avoid contact with eyes, nostrils and mouth, elevate the head to 45°. Do not apply it to open wounds, lesions, and blisters. For further assistance, please see your doctor.

Question: How often can I use chemical peels?

Answer: You can use superficial, or surface layer peels once a month. However, after deep peels, your skin may require healing time and should be used once every two to three years. If you have any queries, please consult a dermatologist and follow as advised.
