M.A.D. Skincare Peel Guide

One of our top professional brands, Maximum Active Dermaceuticals, or M.A.D. Skincare, offers a variety of professional peels that can be layered to target multiple skin concerns. Learn more about the different peels we offer and how they can be used together to take care of all your client’s needs!

(For more about chemical peels in general, we have another blog for that.)

M.A.D. utilizes multiple types of acids: glycolic, lactic, salicylic, citric (Vitamin C), resorcinol, or malic acid from their multi-fruit cocktail (maple, lemon, pineapple, tea flower). Different acids are used for different skin concerns and types!

Things to consider when choosing your acids are: the depth of exfoliation desired, which skin concern is being treated, and sensitivity issues. For example, do not use Salicylic Acids on anyone allergic to aspirin! All M.A.D. Peels can be layered for treating multiple skin concerns or going deeper into the skin!

The M.A.D. Skincare Basic Professional Peels for all skin concerns. Layer them for best results and to treat multiple skin concerns!

30% Glycolic Peel (from the Anti-Aging line) – this peel is ideal for mature skin with fine lines & wrinkles, sun damage, and rough or uneven skin. Glycolic acid is the most active of the alpha-hydroxy-acids. It’s commonly used to improve skin texture, refine skin tone, and even out the complexion, giving a healthy and natural glow to dull, tired skin.

Delicate Skin Resurfacing Peel (from the Delicate line) – the perfect solution for anyone suffering from dry, irritated, inflamed or agitated skin. Uses Multi-Fruit Complex, a potent combination of naturally occurring fruit acids which help to gently exfoliate cells and rejuvenate dull tired skin, and Licorice Extract to naturally lighten and brighten.

Radiant Brightening Peel (from the Brightening line) – the perfect treatment for anyone with dull, tired skin or experiencing uneven skin tones and contains a pH of 2.19. It blends Glycolic and Lactic Acids with Licorice and Bearberry Extracts, plus TriniTea Complex: a blend of white, red, and green tea which bathes the skin in rich antioxidants.

Environmental Renewal Peel (from the Environmental line) – an ideal peel for sun damaged, dry and/or under-nourished skin. Perfect for those aged 25 to 50. Blends together Lactic with Multi-Fruit Acids, plus TriniTea Complesfruit extracts like cranberry and apple, full of anti-oxidants.

Acne Peel (from the Acne line) – for oily/combination and acned skins. This gentle peel helps to combat and prevent future breakouts while soothing skin that is already irritated and inflamed due to acne.
