How we cleanse and prep the skin determines how it will react to the treatment.
I like to start with lipophilic cleanser ( lipophilic -"fat loving") . Most of the "grime" on the face at is lipophilic: excess of sebum, sunscreen, makeup.
One of my favorite is Mystiq Illuminating cleanser by
Start with massage a lipophilic cleanser onto dry skin for 1 min, the oils in the product bind to these impurities. When you add water massage for another minute, emulsifiers in the formula turn the oil into a milky liquid, allowing everything to be rinsed away.
Choice of the second cleanser should be based on activity of sebaceous gland secretion.
When skin has excess of the sebum, close and open comedones - cleanser with Salicylic Acid is the ideal choice ( Ice Sal cleanser . As a lipophilic BHA, Salicylic Acid effectively penetrates the follicle to dissolve excess oil and clear congestion." Salicylic acid is keratolytic, meaning it helps soften the "plug" in open and closed comedones.

There is no perfect peel that would suit all skin types and conditions perfectly. But if I had to choose one, it would be a Lactic acid peel.
Lactic peel :
- renewing epidermis and balancing keratinization
- hydrating and increasing NMF
- synthesizing collagen and glucosamine glucan
- inhibits tyrosine activity
Protocol- transformer with Lira Clinical products :
1. Mystiq Illuminating Cleanser
2. Pro Exfoliating Cleanser
3 . Prep with:
Ice Refining Masque ( normal , oily ski )
or Prime Plus Solution ( oily, tough skin)
or Ph Solution ( dry skin)
4. Lactic Clear Peel for 2-5 min ( depending on sensitivity)
5. Ph Solution
6. Mystiq Cryo masque for 5 min
7. Finishing products: Pro Brite Plus serum, Pure Hyaluronic acid, Mystiq Infused C serum, Bio lift cream.

One product must have while preping skin for the chemical peel is an exfoliater to normalize keratinization.
For dry , sensitive skin - product with AHA,with lactic acid being a main ingredient. Pn around 4.0
Normal mature skin can start on AHA, then graduate to Retinol
Oily and acneic skin ( acne vulgarities!) will benefit from both
Acidic products will balance ph( Oily skin often has higher ph), which will help with microbiome
Retinol will reduce sebum
The exfoliater has to be used along with hydration and sun protection!

When treating mature clients, it's important to remember that their skin's slower cell turnover lead to delayed healing and increased sensitivity. Light chemical peels can be done along with other modalities to strengthen skin and professional home care.
