MAKROPEEL® can be considered as a medical device that, at the same time exfoliates, biorivitalise and has a lifting effect.
The main exfoliating action is due to Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) which, unlike other more invasive peelings, works on deeper skin layers, without causing external irritation; it gives us a real restructuring action that, in synergistic combination with other elements, lets MAKROPEEL® be considered an actual hydro-booster, becoming a valid choice instead of needles and also an evolution of treatments that can be done with current medical devices, just like fractional laser.
The Malic Acid belonging to the category of alpha hydroxics, is one of the main organic acids contained in the fruit, has exfoliating and antioxidant effects, promoting the process of elimination of the epidermis’ dead cells and stimulating the replacement of new cells; moreover the malic acid stimulates the collagen production helping the skin hydration, besides having the capacity of increasing water retention in the stratum corneum, thus rehydrating the epidermis. The exfoliating properties of malic acid allow the decreasing of skin spots, besides having important anti-inflammatory effects.
The Mandelic Acid is derived from a particular bitter almond extract, has an exfoliating effect similiar to the glycolic acid and pyruvic acid one, but but unlike these it is much more effective because it has no photosensitizing effects, so it’s suitable the whole year; that particular acid has important lightening and anti-acne properties, thanks to bacteriostatic and sebostatic benefits.
The Kojic Acid, derived from different type of mushrooms, just like japanese koji mushrooms, is obtained by malted rice fermentation, used in the production of saké (Japanese rice wine), is mainly used for its antibacterial, antifungal and blocking properties of melanogenesis; in fact it’s used in the food sector on cut fruit to prevent the oxidative browning and on seafood to preserve pink and red colors, while it’s used in cosmetic sector to brighten up the skin and treat diseases like the face melasma.
