Here at Windyigarn we are SUPER excited!! After months of research, formulating, testing and moooore testing.. we are ready to launch our 30% Professional Grade Mandelic Acid Peel. This is literally one of the strongest, over the counter, chemical peels available on the Australian Market today.
What's the big deal about Mandelic Acid? Mandelic Acid has been clinically proven (more than once too!) to reduce hyperpigmentation by 50% in 4 weeks, and acts as a melanin inhibitor. This means that the hyperpigmentation that is exfoliated and brightened from Mandelic, is more likely to actually STAY away..
One trial was specifically around melasma..so, if you are looking for something for hormonal hyperpigmentation, our 30% Mandelic Acid Peel might soon be your best friend.. It is also has the largest molecule out of all AHA's and penetrates the skin at a slower rate, which makes this beauty the gentlest of the Alpha Hydroxy Acid family, which means it's great for sensitive skin.
Not only does Mandelic Acid inhibit melanin, but it also has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. This acid sloughs away dead skin cells, eliminates bacteria, helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, reduces redness and inflammation.
Acne
Mandelic acid is highly effective in purging the body and face of acne. It exfoliates congested particles like dead skin cells and oil from the skin's surface, which clears clogged powers. Mandelic dissolves these particles deep within the skin while also regulating sebum production and reducing the inflammation that makes the acne spot look red and swollen.
Most people will see results for acne within 4 weeks. The Mandelic Acid needs time to purge skin of congestion and to prevent new 'clogging up' from forming. Be mindful that it generally takes 4 weeks for clogged powers to build into a pimple. One these micro-comedones are gone, and new ones have been prevented, skin will appear clearer and be less congested.
Ingrown Hairs
Mandelic Acid exfoliates the upper layer of the skin to gently remove dead skin cells, oil and other build up from the hair follicle. This clears the skin for the hair follicle to come to the surface of the skin. You'll find that, thanks to Mandelic's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, swelling and redness will be reduced.
Most people will see redness and inflammation calm down within a few days. Many ingrown hairs will be brought to the surface within 10 days, with consistent use.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is the over production of melanin and looks like dark marks or uneven patches of skin. The most effective way to fade hyperpigmentation, is to remove the upper layer of dead skin cells to reveal new, fresh and bright skin, replacing the old discoloured layers. Mandelic Acid gently exfoliates the upper layer of skin, while inhibiting the production of melanocytes which basically disrupts the process of hyperpigmentation. This exfoliation resurfaces skin which results in improved skin tone, texture, feel and brightness.
When used 2 x Weekly, you'll see results within 4 weeks.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Because Mandelic Acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, Mandelic has been shown to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen and Elastin are responsible for keeping skin tight and plump. Because of the increased levels of elastin and collagen that Mandelic Acid stimulates, skin will appear smoother with less obvious lines.
Because Mandelic Acid exfoliates the skin, purging skin of dead skin cells , fresher, smoother and brighter skin is revealed to promote a healthy glow. These results will be noticeable within 2 weeks of consistent use.
Firmer, more plump skin will be achieved over the course of several months as the production of collagen and elastin are stimulated.
So , you see, our 30% Professional Grade Mandelic Acid Peel is not a one hit wonder.
