0: Hello. I'm Dr. Mike Bell, Head of Science Research for No7.
Essentially peels exfoliate and remove dead surface skin cells revealing more
youthful looking skin.
They work by gently dissolving the glue that holds those dead surface skin cells
together.
Peels can be made from a variety of different acids including Glycolic Acid and
Lactic Acid and can also vary in their strength.
So our new dermatologist approved No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL
contains 15% Glycolic Acid and has been expertly formulated
for effective at-home use.
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid,
otherwise known as an AHA.
It's a very well-known chemical exfoliator that has been used for decades by
dermatologists in clinics.
It can also be found in peel products that you can use at home.
Lots of independent scientific studies support the numerous benefits it gives
your skin,
which is why it's so well regarded by skin scientists and dermatologists.
Glycolic Acid has been clinically proven to reveal radiant looking skin so
you'll notice your skin looks and feel smoother too.
Over the longer term,
you can expect to see improvements in the appearance of your pores and your skin
tone will look more even too.
The No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL should be used on non-consecutive nights
up to 3 evenings a week.
The thick formulation should allow that ease of application. Apply to clean,
dry skin using your fingertips or a cotton pad and leave it for 5
minutes. Then, simply wash or wipe it off using a damp cloth. Now,
we also recommend you apply your No7 Night Cream to help support your skin's
natural barrier and every day always wear your SPF when using the
Glycolic product to protect your skin throughout the day.
The No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL is suitable for dry,
oily and combination skin, but it shouldn't be used on broken,
irritated or very sensitive skin as it may cause some irritation.
The No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL is designed to be used a few times a week
at most, so it's more of a treatment than a daily use product like cleansers and
moisturisers.
You shouldn't use other AHA/BHA (acid) peel products,
harsh exfoliators,
or pure retinol containing products at the same time as the Glycolic Acid peel.
And that's because they all work to support surface skin cell turnover,
so if used together they may be too much for your skin to handle and maybe more
likely to cause some sensitivity.
