Description
DermExcel™ Excelerate is a salicylic acid (BHA) chemical peel for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it can work inside the pores, helping to loosen blackheads and sebum plugs and to lift away dead surface cells.
Excelerate 30% is the stronger of the two strengths, for skin that already tolerates salicylic acid well. It leaves skin smoother and clearer-looking, usually with little or no downtime.
Key benefits
- Helps loosen blackheads and sebum plugs
- Helps clear the look of congested pores
- Helps balance the look of oily skin
- Smooths rough texture with minimal downtime
How to use
- Use in the evening on clean, dry skin.
- Apply to the areas that need it once or twice a month, depending on how your skin tolerates it.
- Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight. If the skin burns beyond what is tolerable, rinse off with water.
- Keep away from the eyelids, lips and other sensitive areas, and use SPF 30 or higher every day.
Pairs well with
- DermExcel Pore Control Cleanser: a salicylic acid face wash to cleanse before your peel.
- DermExcel Excelerate 15%: the gentler 15% strength, a good starting point before 30%.
- DermExcel DermDefence SPF 50: a fragrance-free, broad-spectrum SPF 50 for every morning while you use a peel.
