This peel efficiently removes dead skin cells, assists the regeneration of your complexion, stimulates poor blood circulation, closes pores, and partially also reduces small scars. It has a significant influence on the activity and secretion of sebaceous glands and oily skin becomes less oily after this application. The therapy consists of 6 to 10 treatments.
