What is a Jessner Peel by Skin Genius MD?
A Jessner Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne, pigmentation irregularities, and signs of aging. The peel uses a blend of powerful exfoliators—salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol—to deeply exfoliate the skin, reduce acne, and lighten hyperpigmentation.
This peel helps improve skin texture, tone, and clarity, revealing smoother, more even skin. It’s ideal for those looking to address multiple concerns with a professional-grade exfoliation that delivers visible results.
How it works
A Jessner Peel uses a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to deeply exfoliate the skin. This blend of acids works in layers:
- Salicylic Acid: Penetrates pores to dissolve excess oil and fight acne.
- Lactic Acid: Gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin, promoting a smooth texture.
- Resorcinol: Helps break down rough, damaged skin cells, improving clarity and tone.
By removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth, the Jessner Peel targets acne, pigmentation, and sun damage, leaving your skin clearer, smoother, and more even. The treatment helps stimulate collagen production and encourages skin renewal, providing long-term improvements in texture and radiance.
