Spotlight on Glycolic Acid

Studies prove it stops AND REVERSES signs of skin aging.

Glycolic acid (GA) has been studied and is proven to reverse photo-aging (sun damage), which means it successfully reverses age spots, crepey and sagging skin, wrinkles and acne scarring.  Amazingly: a 2018 paper also reports that glycolic acid has a protective effect against UVB rays, meaning it may help prevent photoaging!

GA is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane that can penetrate the skin easily (being the smallest and one of the strongest molecules). It induces biological responses that can help restore skin's integrity; it helps the body produce more collagen.

GA stimulates the skin's production of hyaluronic acid in the deeper layers to plump crepey skin from the inside out, as well as brightening and polishing skin texture to create a youthful and dewy luster to reverse a dull and crinkled skin appearance.

Glycolic acid can, however, cause irritation for people with exceptionally sensitive skin, which is why our glycolic mask contains a low amount of acid and has calming ingredients to help soothe the skin.  Incorporate a weekly glycolic mask, right after your home peel, to see extraordinary glowing skin!

It’s Peel Season!

According to the Journal of The Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition, scientific studies on skin show that pumpkin, along with red paprika and tomato, reverse the elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive amounts of ROS can damage cellular and DNA, leading to premature aging and cancer. Pumpkin also contains a plethora of antioxidants that soothe skin and help improve collagen production to plump up the skin and lessen the look of wrinkles. While the pumpkin mask sits on your skin, it’s dissolving the damaged skin cells, while leaving healthy cells intact, revealing the healthy even-toned cells beneath. In just 10-15 minutes, you’ll see improvement. With a series of 3 pumpkin home facial kits, done 10 days apart, you’ll be amazed at the results.

J. Renee Peels are all natural and use fruit enzymes from pumpkin, papaya, pomegranate and other fruits as well as natural lactic, glycolic and citric acids. Our exfoliating masks are labeled peels but the actual action of enzymes is to dissolve or digest the dead skin cells, so there is no yanking or peeling action needed, which can damage sensitive skin.

Our home facial kits have professional products and specific instructions on how to do each step. The kit includes: Cleanser, Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, Scrub, Soothing Mask, Toner, Serum and Lotion. Get exemplary results using professional organic peels and masks in the comfort of your own home.
