If your skin is generally just feeling a little dull, flat, or tired-looking, then a vegan lactic acid chemical peel with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide is a treatment path for you. It’s quite likely that you’re in need of a little deeper exfoliation treatment to slough away any dead skin cells contributing to your lackluster complexion.

Chemical Peels For Skin Dryness, Dehydration, or Sensitivity

Dryness is usually down to a lack of moisture, whereas dehydration often suggests damage to skin’s moisture barrier, meaning that your skin isn’t retaining hydration. Adding a heavy duty moisturizer isn’t enough to truly treat dehydrated skin, and that’s where you need a more targeted, skin-strengthening and hydrating approach. Ingredients like vegan lactic acid in your chemical peel can help exfoliate dry skin while hyaluronic acid will hydrate your skin.
