Dermalogica Powerbright Dark Spot Peel 50ml

The Dermalogica Powerbright Dark Spot Peel is an at-home exfoliating treatment designed to visibly reduce surface hyperpigmentation, including UV-induced dark spots, post-blemish marks, and melasma. It combines a blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA), such as Mandelic Acid, to exfoliate the skin, while Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide work to even out skin tone. Additionally, it contains a barrier-restoring Omega-3 blend and nourishing Turmeric butter to support skin health.

This peel is suitable for individuals with uneven skin tone and dark spots. It has been tested on a wide range of skin tones and types, including those prone to hyperpigmentation and melanin-rich skin.

1. Prep: Begin with freshly cleansed skin. Pat dry and ensure your skin is free from any residue.
2. Application: Apply a thin, even layer of the peel to the affected areas, avoiding the delicate eye area.
3. Leave On: Allow the peel to penetrate for up to 5-10 minutes, depending on your skin's tolerance.
4. Rinse: Gently remove the peel with lukewarm water and pat dry.
5. Follow Up: For best results, use 2-3 times per week.

For an extra boost, you can leave the peel on for up to 30 minutes, depending on your skin's sensitivity.

The peel features a blend of active ingredients, including:

• Mandelic Acid: An AHA that helps exfoliate the skin to reduce the appearance of dark spots.
• Glycolic Acid: Another AHA known for its exfoliating properties.
• Phytic Acid: A PHA that gently exfoliates and brightens the skin.
• Tranexamic Acid: Helps to even skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Works to brighten the skin and improve its overall texture.
• Omega-3 Blend: Derived from algae, it helps restore the skin barrier and reduce triggers of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Turmeric Butter: Provides antioxidant benefits and nourishes the skin.

While the peel is formulated to be effective yet gentle, individuals with sensitive skin should perform a patch test before full application. Start with a shorter leave-on time (e.g., 5 minutes) to assess tolerance, and gradually increase as your skin adjusts.

Begin by using the peel daily for 4-5 days to kickstart the exfoliation process. After this initial period, use it 2-3 times per week to maintain results. For an extra boost, you can leave the peel on for up to 30 minutes, depending on your skin's sensitivity.

Yes, the peel has been tested on a wide range of skin tones and types, including those prone to hyperpigmentation and melanin-rich skin, ensuring its efficacy and safety across diverse users.

If you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional. It's important to follow the recommended usage instructions and not exceed the suggested leave-on time.

To avoid over-exfoliation, it's advisable not to use other strong exfoliating products (such as retinoids or other acid-based treatments) on the same days you use the peel. Monitor your skin's response and adjust your routine accordingly.

Yes, using sunscreen is crucial when incorporating exfoliating products into your routine, as they can increase skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 daily to protect your skin and maintain the results of the peel.
