Pyruvic acid 20% is used extensively Fitzpatrick 4-6. Follow the time of application and the subject of layers within the Protocol & Management Guide in order to avoid any discomfort or risk of over stimulation. If experiencing reactions then neutralize the peel with NOON’s Peel Neutralizer and rinse well with water. No permanent damage will occur.

Soothing measures:  AcNo Complex Ampoule is very soothing followed by the application of Igloo Moist 24/7.  If there is severe dryness or tightness in the skin then gently massage AcNo Complex Ampoule followed by SOS/Smart Occulsive System onto area treated.
