Murad Glycolic Acid Pro Peel

Murad Skincare announces the launch of their transformative, high-strength peel featuring 67% Glycolic Acid alongside a proprietary ingredient blend to intensely resurface while brightening and refining skin.

Developed by founder, board-certified dermatologist, and trained pharmacist Dr. Howard Murad, who’s often considered the “father of Glycolic Acid” for being among the first to recognise its efficacy in skincare. The high-potency peel addresses more advanced skin concerns such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, deep-set lines and wrinkles.

The medical-grade treatment is now available for the first time in the UK exclusively through salons, spas and clinics and administered by doctors, nurses or aestheticians with a Level 7 Facial Aesthetics Diploma.

Suitable for all skin types and tones. Using a combination of 67% glycolic acid and proprietary Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid and Retinol, the new peel allows professionals to offer an intense resurfacing and brightening solution to treat many skin concerns. Powerful enough to deliver immediately visible improvements in skin texture, and a noticeable reduction in lines, wrinkles and pigmentation two weeks after the treatment.

Micro-peeling is a possible side effect and pre-existing lesions, such as pigmentation from sun damage or blemish scarring, may temporarily darken. These reactions are normal and typically last for no longer than 1-2 weeks. Erythema may occur, but usually subsides within one hour. As with all medical-grade treatments, pre and post care is of utmost importance and all clients must be advised to avoid direct sun exposure, if possible, and use high factor sunscreens every day.

Key Ingredients:

Glycolic Acid: encourages surface cell turnover by loosening the bonds that hold together the top layers of dead skin cells, while removing excess build-up on the surface of the skin so newer, softer, healthier-looking skin can emerge.

Niacinamide: fades hyperpigmentation spots, while evening skin tone and texture. It helps break up any discolouration, as well as helping avoid new pigmentation from appearing, so the skin appears more even.

Salicylic Acid: brightens and smooths skin by dissolving the build-up of dead cells on the skin’s surface. This superstar ingredient also helps to remove dirt, bacteria, and grime so that pores remain clear and free from irritants.

Retinol: improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles through exfoliating skin and increasing collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance.

“Here at Murad, we’re often asked by doctors and clinics for advanced medical-grade treatments, and we’re thrilled to finally be able to offer the Glycolic Acid Pro Peel direct from Dr Murad’s own clinical practice. The precise ingredient blend incorporates 67% Glycolic Acid and combination of actives that meet the needs of medically led clinics seeking advanced technologies with tried and trusted results.” comments Tracey Wilmot, global director of education at Murad.
