The SkinMedica® in-office Vitalize Chemical Peel is a superficial peel with the results of a medium depth peel. This special formulation contains a unique blend of peeling agents: alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol and retinoic acid.
Well-tolerated and highly effective, the Vitalize Peel penetrates the skin’s surface, evenly exfoliating the epidermis to reveal healthier, younger-looking skin. The outcome of this wrinkle treatment is new skin that’s brighter, refreshed, with a smoother texture and more uniform skin tone.

- Tighten pores, brighten dry and/or dull skin, skin tone and texture
