New retinol accelerator by dermalogica pro more flaking. better results.

In this fast-paced, modern world, many of our clients are looking for immediate results and more advanced outcomes from their professional services. Chemical peels have been a strong and solid global trend for many years, but with our clinic guests having less free time, there is a strong cry for accelerated results post treatment. Dermalogica PRO Retinol Accelerator has been formulated to accelerate the skin’s natural renewal process and boost the results after professional exfoliating treatments providing a noticeable difference. So, what is all the fuss about retinol?

Our skin naturally produces a retinoid compound known as Retinoic Acid, which strongly influences epithelial differentiation and proliferation. Retinoic Acid contributes to a normalized rate of cell turnover and desquamation, decreasing the build-up of dead cells on the surface of the stratum corneum which can cause rough skin texture. Retinol and Retinoids are the gold standard in skin treatments and products, when it comes to targeting lines, and wrinkles along with uneven skin tone and texture.

Retinoids, are an umbrella term for the entire family of Vitamin A derivatives, helping to regulate cell turnover and collagen production, which enables a healthier looking skin with less noticeable pigmentation concerns, such as sunspots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Retinol, a member of the retinoid family, is well-known for visibly reversing the signs of skin ageing.

This fast-acting oil soluble molecule easily penetrates the stratum corneum and fully delivers the active ingredients to stimulate keratinocyte activity. Topically applied Retinol needs to be converted by the skin into Retinoic Acid in a two-step process: firstly, skin enzymes convert retinol to retinaldehyde and then from retinaldehyde into Retinoic Acid. By accelerating the rate of cell turnover in the skin, new, fresh skin cells can make their way to the skin’s surface faster than they would naturally. This helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and deliver improved skin texture while

Clients looking for immediate advanced results, especially in conjunction with resurfacing services, can achieve these results with an application of a Retinol
