However, Roth says that with a gradual increase in concentration, those receptors
can be restored. "For best results, deliver retinol-based peels later in the day, as
the ingredient can be very sensitive to light and air," she advises, adding that such
treatments should always be paired with SPF.
For thicker and heavier-to-penetrate skin, Khalil-Otto recommends layering
with multiple passes. "I typically provide an application add-on to the neck,
chest and hands too—since those areas also tend to give away a client's age,"
she reports.
Young Skin
Chemical peels can help teens and young adults control acne/acne scarring,
minimize pores and even out skin tone—so they won't need such invasive
treatments later in life. "Look for TCA, kojic acid, azelaic acid and antioxidant-
enriched formulas," says Markland, who recommends peels that address dullness
and overall skin health.
Roth likes to send young clients home with light scrubs enriched with hydroxy
acids, so as to maximize cell turnover. Zone prefers using lactic and enzyme
peels on young skin, and notes that these guests often don't adhere to post-
peel homecare recommendations—another reason to go gentle. With this group,
SPF and client compliance is key, stresses Khalil-Otto. "Education will set them
up for skincare success for years to come—and create loyal, lifelong clients,"
she says.
