Polite Peel

The Polite Peel is a restorative treatment designed for skin that feels reactive, fragile, or out of balance. Created specifically for hypersensitive and compromised skin, it works to calm inflammation, rebuild resilience, and gently renew the skin without overwhelming it.

Using next-generation peel technology, this treatment prioritizes repair as much as refinement. It supports healthy cell turnover while strengthening the skin barrier, helping to reduce redness, smooth texture, and soften early signs of aging. The result is skin that feels soothed, more even, and better equipped to hold hydration and handle daily stressors.

How It Works:

The Polite Peel uses a carefully balanced blend of exfoliating and brightening acids within an optimal pH range, allowing for gentle resurfacing while protecting the integrity of sensitive skin. Lactic acid provides mild exfoliation while drawing hydration into the skin, helping to smooth texture without stripping. Mandelic acid supports a slower, more controlled cell turnover, making it ideal for reactive skin types. Together, they encourage renewal in a way that feels supportive rather than aggressive.

At the same time, tranexamic acid works to visibly reduce discoloration, including redness, dark spots, and dull or yellowing tones. This combination helps calm inflammation, refine the skin’s surface, and support stronger barrier function over time.
