What is a whitening peel
Operating principle
As you know, in the peeling process, layers of skin cells are removed, which is a multi-layered “pie”.
Superficial peeling removes cells within the stratum corneum.
With the median – the entire stratum corneum.
Deep peeling affects the epidermis up to the dermis, the densest layer of the skin. This essentially traumatic procedure becomes a powerful incentive for renewal. After all the unpleasant post-peeling sensations, we see clean, rejuvenated skin.

Smoothes wrinkles;

a fresh tan, because this (yes) is evidence of an inflammatory process in the skin.
Different phototypes are prone to excessive pigmentation to varying degrees.
Efficiency
The effectiveness of a whitening peel depends on several factors.
Phototype. In light-skinned people, the effect is usually more pronounced.
Depth of pigmentation. If the visible accumulation of melanin is deep enough, then superficial peeling will not be able to completely remove the pigment spot, but in any case will make it less pronounced.
How often can you do
Peelings in a clinic or salon are done in courses. Superficial peeling courses are usually carried out 1-2 times a year. There are no special restrictions for whitening procedures.
When it comes to cosmetic peels and whitening products for home use, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and remember to protect yourself from the sun. Any peeling increases sensitivity to ultraviolet light.

Chemical
acids: glycolic, citric, kojic, ellagic;
complexes with alpha and beta hydroxy acids (fruit + salicylic);
retinol;
vitamin C;
phloretin;
emblica extract (amla, which is called Indian ginseng).
