Advanced Home Actives

Even professional glycolic acid treatments can have poor outcomes if the professional does not attend to the client and neutralize the glycolic acid in a timely fashion. It was one of these events that spurred the creation of Brazilian Peel.

Harnessing the power of a professional strength chemical peel by controlling the activity of the glycolic acid.

The challenge: Create a product that was strong enough to give a true exfoliation without causing irritation or the other problems that can sometimes happen with overexposure or sensitivity to glycolic acid. And, after 3 years of design, development and clinical testing, Brazilian Peel was born.

The solution has been found by controlling the activity, or pH, of the product. Brazilian Peel is designed to deliver a professional strength glycolic activity at the beginning of the treatment and then over the 10-minute treatment time, the patent-pending Q-Mag Mineral Neutralizer deactivates the glycolic acid, raising the pH to a level that is tolerated by the skin without irritation or other issues. The Glycolic Acid Treatment Comparison graph compares the relative activity over time of Brazilian Peel compared to a professional glycolic peel treatment and the lower activity level typical of consumer products containing glycolic acid.

Clinical testing of the formula showed no irritation when the product was left on for 24 to 48 hrs. Laboratory testing of the pH of the product shows that after 10 minutes, the pH rises to the point at which the glycolic acid is no longer active as an exfoliant.

The Brazilian Peel uses an exclusive dual component single-use delivery system to ensure the most effective treatment.

To preserve the full activity of Brazilian Peel requires the two components of the peel, the glycolic — Acai gel and the Q-Mag Mineral Neutralizer remain separated until you are ready to start the treatment. The Brazilian Peel delivery system uses a patented dispensing device, robustly designed for medical treatments, and perfect for the Brazilian Peel. The device insures the components are kept separate prior to use, is simple and easy to use, and delivers equal amounts of the two components.
