How it works
How it works
The Face Reality Peel blends salicylic, mandelic, and lactic acids to penetrate pores, dissolve oil and debris, and reduce inflammation. These acids also accelerate skin turnover, helping lighten dark spots left behind by acne and prevent new breakouts from forming. The treatment is designed to be gentle yet effective, making it safe for patients with ongoing acne who may not tolerate stronger chemical peels. With regular sessions, it helps break the acne cycle, refine skin texture, and support clearer long-term skin health.
