92 ASCP Skin Deep Autumn 2023
AHA/Retinol Peel Protocol: For lines, wrinkles, and photodamage
TiZO
Step 1
Before beginning, remind
your client of what to
expect during and after
the peel process. Make
sure the client isn't
sensitive to any of the
peel ingredients, including
retinol, doesn't have a tree
nut allergy, and hasn't
used topical retinoids in
the past two weeks.
Step 2
Cleanse the skin with TiZO Photoceutical
Foaming Cleanser. Apply petrolatum to any
areas that should be protected, including
the lips and around the eyes.
Step 6
Once the Retinol
Reversal is dry,
apply a gentle
mineral sunscreen
such as TiZO Ultra
Zinc Non-Tinted
SPF 40.
Step 7
The client may
go home with
the retinol and
sunscreen on their
skin and can wash it
off after eight hours
(four hours if their
skin is sensitive)
or at bedtime. Do
not give the client
extra retinol to take
home with them.
Remind the client of
the post-peel care
instructions.
