ARGIPEEL EXFOLIANTING GEL

Sensitive skins, intolerant to the application of other peelings that wish to redefine the skin surface. Flash treatment for special events and parties.

Arginine is an amino acid derived from the fermentation and purification of vegetable carbohydrates (sugar cane). It has a large molecule so its penetration through the stratum corneum is very slow, avoiding any type of irritation. Combined with lactic acid, it gets all the benefits of alpha-hydroxy acids (exfoliating properties, increases cell turnover, improves skin firmness, reduces hyperpigmentation) but without itching, stinging or burning.

Lactic acid is naturally found in the skin as part of a metabolic process and helps maintain the pH of the acid mantle between 5.5 and 6.0.

It has a natural moisturizing effect by attracting water molecules to the stratum corneum and stimulating the synthesis of ceramides, improving and modulating the skin’s barrier function. It is known as a skin-lightening agent, as it induces homogeneous melanin dispersion. In addition, it has antioxidant effects and inhibits the action of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the first stages of melanogenesis.

This gel formulation allows the acid to penetrate slowly into the skin without causing the irritation normally associated with lactic acid.
