How it works

What it is, and how it works.

A pyruvic-led peel for stubborn melasma that resists lighter protocols — pushes pigment correction further.

It leads with Pyruvic 25% to interrupt excess melanin and lift pigment that has already formed. As a medium-depth peel, penetration is controlled by strength and dwell time, so the practitioner sets the intensity to the skin.

Full formula, no mystery. Every active and its percentage is printed on the label and listed here — so you know exactly what you're applying and why.
