90 ASCP Skin Deep Autumn 2026 CHEMICAL EXFOLIATION REMAINS one of the most valuable tools in the professional treatment room, particularly when working with acne-prone, congested, and post-acne skin. As client needs become increasingly nuanced, skin care professionals benefit from multiple exfoliation options that can be adapted based on presentation, tolerance, treatment goals, and stage of the skin journey. The Face Reality Clear Synergy Peel series was developed with this versatility in mind. Designed to support active clearing, maintenance, and post-clear rejuvenation, the peel system combines multiple acids with supportive ingredients to address congestion, texture irregularities, and visible discoloration while accommodating a wide range of skin types and concerns. THE POWER OF A MULTI-ACID APPROACH At the core of the peel series is the HydroxyMatrix Complex, a blend of AHAs and BHAs designed to deliver complementary exfoliating benefits. The Inside the Peels Expanding Treatments for Acne and Beyond by Face Reality UNSPLASH Esty Protocol: Face Reality ADVERTISEMENT combination includes glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and salicylic acids, each contributing unique properties to the overall treatment: • Glycolic acid contributes resurfacing benefits and promotes visible improvements in texture. • Lactic acid offers both exfoliating and humectant properties, helping maintain hydration balance throughout the treatment. • Mandelic acid provides gentle exfoliation and is often favored in acne-focused treatments because of its compatibility with a broad range of skin types. • Salicylic acid, an oil-soluble BHA, helps target congestion within the pores and supports the management of noninflamed lesions and follicular buildup. Supporting ingredients further enhance the treatment experience: • Bisabolol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate help promote a calmer treatment experience by supporting skin comfort and reducing the appearance of redness. • Kojic acid provides brightening benefits through tyrosinase inhibition. • Succinic acid contributes antioxidant properties and helps support balanced oil production.
