How it works

What it is, and how it works.

Our flagship retinol-led yellow peel for resistant melasma — the strongest brightening protocol in the range.

It leads with Retinol 20% 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.

Prep
