precisely balanced, professional strength peeling serum will gently and effectively remove
dead skin cells to reveal fresh, bright, younger looking skin in just 12 weeks.

Active Ingredients
This cosmetic contains a highly concentrated dose of Glycolic Acid to achieve its professional
strength chemical exfoliation. Glycolic Acid belongs to the class Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s)
commonly known as ‘fruit acids’ and occurs naturally in sugar cane juice. Glycolic Acid is
considered to be the most effective AHA because it has a small molecular structure allowing
it to penetrate the surface of the skin more readily. AHA’s have had much scientific investigation
into their powerful exfoliation function. AHA’s enhance the loosening of surface corneocytes
(the outermost skin cells) so that the rough, scaly dry cells literally slough away. This shedding
of corneocytes results in an immediate visible result of smoother, more uniform skin.
Furthermore, with prolonged use, the acids are also able to brighten the colour of the skin,
reducing the mottled pigmentation commonly associated with photodamage.

FAQs

What is the active ingredient in Rapid Peel?
Rapid Peel contains Glycolic Acid, a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) commonly known as
‘fruit acid’ which occurs naturally in sugar cane juice.

How does Rapid Peel work?
Glycolic Acid enhances the loosening of dead and lifeless skin cells (corneocytes) so that the
fresh new supple skin underneath can be revealed immediately. With prolonged use
Glycolic acid is also able to brighten the colour of the skin, reducing the mottled pigmentation
commonly associated with photodamage.

Is Rapid Peel safe?
This cosmetic product is generally extremely safe. If your skin is particularly sensitive, you may
experience slight irritation. If this happens you should discontinue use of this product.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids may initially cause the delicate skin on the face to become somewhat more
susceptible to sunburn, however this effect normalises after the product is used for a couple of months.
In the mean time simple protective measures should be applied such as avoiding harsh UV exposure,
applying broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF ≥15) and wearing a wide brimmed hat.

How long will it take until I can see visible results when I use Rapid Peel?
The exfoliation of dead, hardened skin cells with Rapid Peel results in an immediate smoothing of the
surface of the skin. Weekly use of Rapid Peel for 12 weeks will allow for an improvement of mottled
pigmentation caused by photodamage, further enhancing surface texture.
