Lit-From-Within Clarity
The Red Carpet Event Peel
Formulation Science
Five active peeling agents
Engineered for zero-downtime glow
Unlike aggressive medium peels that cause sheets of flaky skin, the Illuminize Peel utilizes balanced high-molecular weight hydroxy acids for gentle, uniform cellular renewal.
Mandelic Acid (AHA)
High-molecular weight fruit acid for non-irritating cellular renewal
Derived from bitter almonds, mandelic acid penetrates the stratum corneum slowly and evenly. It dissolves dead cell bonds without causing burning, redness, or post-peel sheet shedding.
Benefits of Mandelic Acid (AHA)
Exfoliates dead keratinized cells with zero irritation
Safe for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin types
Imparts an instant dewy, glass-like skin finish
