AHA resurfacing peel \u2013 35% glycolic acid
Description
NEOSTRATA ProSystem Rejuvenating Peel 2 is a professional, in-office chemical peel containing 35% free glycolic acid. It is part of the NEOSTRATA ProSystem Rejuvenating AHA peel range (20–70% glycolic acid) used by medical and aesthetic skin professionals as a superficial resurfacing treatment. Peel 2 (35%) is a step-up strength from Peel 1 (20%) and is designed for patients with multiple skin rejuvenation concerns, including rough texture, fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, blemishes, keratosis pilaris, pseudofolliculitis barbae and mild keratoses. The peel exfoliates the stratum corneum, promotes epidermal cell turnover and helps reveal smoother, clearer and more even-toned skin when used in a structured treatment program under professional supervision.
Bnefits
- Provides controlled superficial chemical exfoliation using 35% glycolic acid to smooth rough, uneven skin texture.

- Improves the look of discolorations and uneven skin tone, including sun damage and post-inflammatory marks.
- Assists in managing blemish-prone skin and surface congestion through enhanced exfoliation.
- Indicated for keratosis pilaris and mild keratoses, helping soften and smooth rough, keratinized areas.
- Can be used as part of a customizable peel program with other ProSystem strengths (20%, 50%, 70%) to tailor treatment intensity.
- Superficial peel depth with typically minimal downtime when performed correctly by trained professionals.

- Apply an even layer of the 35% glycolic acid peel to the treatment area using appropriate applicator (e.g. brush, gauze) according to protocol.

Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to glycolic acid or other alpha hydroxy acids.
- Active skin infections, open wounds, severe inflammation or dermatitis in the treatment area.
- Compromised skin barrier (e.g. recent sunburn, aggressive procedures, or irritant reactions) in the proposed peel area.
- History of abnormal scarring or keloid formation where chemical peels are contraindicated by the clinician.
- Recent use of oral isotretinoin or other systemic treatments where professional guidelines recommend delaying chemical peels.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, unless the prescribing/ supervising physician determines that use is appropriate under local regulations.
- Patients unable or unwilling to follow required pre-peel preparation and post-peel care, including sun protection.
- Any general contraindication to chemical peels identified during medical history and professional assessment.
Adverse Effects
- Expected, transient effects: stinging, burning, itching, tingling or heat-like sensation during peel application.
- Temporary erythema (redness), tightness, mild swelling or dryness after treatment.
- Mild flaking or superficial peeling in the days following treatment, depending on skin type and protocol.
- Risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin phototypes or if post-peel sun protection is inadequate.
- Irritant or allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
- Very rare but more serious risks if misused, such as excessive epidermolysis, superficial burns, prolonged erythema, or infection; these risks are mitigated by correct professional technique and adherence to protocol.
Storage Conditions
- Store in original container, tightly closed, at controlled room temperature as indicated on packaging.
- Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Use only within the expiry date printed on the bottle/carton.
Duration
Single peel applications are typically left on the skin for a controlled, short period of time (minutes) as determined by the professional based on protocol and skin response. A complete rejuvenation program usually consists of a series of peels spaced over several weeks, with the number and frequency of sessions tailored to the patient\u2019s skin type and clinical indications.
Onset
Many patients notice skin feeling smoother and looking brighter shortly after the first peel, with progressive improvement in texture, fine lines, discolorations and roughness developing over a series of treatments as epidermal turnover and resurfacing effects accumulate.
