How Does a VI Peel Work?
The VI Peel contains a unique blend of powerful ingredients:
- Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) – 10-12%
- Phenol – 10-12%
- Salicylic Acid – 10-12%
- Vitamin C – 10-12%
- Tretinoin – 0.1-0.4%
This carefully designed formula exfoliates the skin’s top layers, prompting the body to produce collagen and elastin, essential proteins for youthful, firm skin. The peel’s effectiveness is amplified by the presence of phenol for pigmentation, salicylic acid for acne-prone skin, and vitamin C for skin brightening.
