Dissolve the sebum and dead cells that stretch pores open
Chemical peels — especially LHA-based formulations like the Chemical Peel — penetrate the follicular opening to dissolve the sebum plugs and dead cells that stretch pores to their maximum diameter. Regular peeling keeps pores cleared and visibly minimized.
How it works
LHA's lipophilic nature allows it to penetrate the follicular opening and exfoliate the pore walls from within — something water-soluble acids cannot achieve. By keeping the follicular canal clear of sebum and debris, the pore is allowed to contract to its natural, smaller size. Regular peeling also prevents the accumulation of sun-damaged, thickened skin around pore openings that makes them appear more visible.
