BioActive Peel, Dermalogica

Spa Treament Review of Dermalogica BioActive Peel

In any season, sometimes what our skin needs most is a bit of a refresher. Dermalogica’s BioActive Peel is a botanically based version of a chemical peel to revitalize the skin. The benefits include clearing inflammation (including from acne), reducing the appearance of fine lines, fading hyper pigmentation – generally smoothing the skin by literally peeling away roughness and old skin – and making skin camera (and everyday) ready.

My therapist’s calming hands and gentle touch alone were therapeutic when she gently applied the four-step system.  She checked in with me carefully while the enzymes were active on my skin – the tingling indicated that they were having the desired effect.  The peel’ active ingredients include pumpkin, papaya, lactic acid, trichloracetic acid, and salicylic acid; this is stronger than the average facial.  I particularly enjoyed the soothing provided by the final step: calming botanicals including cucumber and green tea leaf extract.  She carefully explained the aftercare regimen and send me home with instructions and products.  I did experience some expected peeling (addressed by the Dermalogica products) and I noticed freshness and a new shine to my skin.

BioPeel is available with a trained therapist at select spas, salons, and Dermalogica concept stores, including the flagship on Montana Avenue.  A series of three to six treatments is recommended; I observed a difference after my first one.  dermalogica.com – Felicia Tomasko
