SkinCeuticals launches smart trichloroacetic acid peeling system

SkinCeuticals has launched its new Smart trichloroacetic acid (TCA) Peel system for all signs of ageing.

Core ingredients of the smart precision peeling system include pure and unbuffered 15% TCA and 3% glycolic acid. It also comprises of a patented post-peel restorative masque, which ensures post-peel comfort.

The product comes in a monodose packaging and is available in fixed, consistent amount per patient.

TCA is a self-neutralising acid that takes away and dissolves epidermal proteins. This leads to better exfoliation of the dead, dry outermost layer of skin cells.

The product is said to be safe for most skin types and tones, with five to seven days of minimal downtime, according to the company.

Clinical trials conducted on Smart TCA Peel demonstrated significant enhancements in skin condition.

Visible post-peel improvements of the product include the reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, visible pores, and discolouration.

During trials, patients evaluated for twelve weeks noticed the following changes; 37% reduction in lines around the mouth and vertical lip lines, 19% improvement in the appearance of hyperpigmentation and 31% improvement in the appearance of fine lines.

Furthermore, the product provided a 28% improvement in tactile smoothness and a 21% reduction in the appearance of pores.

SkinCeuticals US general manager Christina Fair said: “We are excited to expand our chemical peel portfolio with an effective deep superficial option utilising a classic, in-demand ingredient (TCA) in a smarter way.

“Each stage of development incorporated our esteemed partner physician feedback. We have strategic monodose packaging that ensures consistent, predictable results and a patented complementary masque that alleviates patient discomfort.”
