Advanced, physician-strength retinol peel improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin firmness, and overall complexion brightness

Background: As noninvasive, topical cosmetic procedures increase in popularity, the ability to provide beneficial results is increasingly in demand. Physician-strength chemical peels are consistently the third most common cosmetic procedure next to neurotoxin and soft-tissue filler injections. Among physicians, retinol continues to be a proven ingredient for adjunctive care of conditions such as acne and/or photodamage due to its ability to enhance exfoliation, increase epidermal thickness and reduce matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity (collagenase) while increasing collagen.
