AHA & BHA are both types of hydroxy acids found in cleansers, toners, moisturisers, scrubs, masks and peels.

AHAs are water soluble made from sugary fruits:

Glycolic Acid derives from sugar cane
Mandelic Acid derives from bitter almonds
Lactic Acid derives from lactose in milk
Citric Acid derives from citrus fruits

BHA are oil soluble:

Salicylic Acid derives from the bark of willow trees & in many plant species.

Dr Preema’s Facials incorporate the benefits of a peel with the luxury experience of a facial:

The HydraFacial^® incorporates glycolic, beta, lactic & salicylic acids with hyaluronic acid

HydraFacial^® is a device that uses a patented vortex technology which will deeply cleanse the skin and deliver potent botanical ingredients containing super-nutrients such as hyaluronic acid (HA), horse chestnut seed extract, red algae extract, copper, zinc and magnesium peptides as well as powerful antioxidants.

The iS CLINICAL^® Fire & Ice Facial treatment designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin.

A precise combination of two professional treatment masques is complimented with several exceptional iS CLINICAL^® formulations, yielding extraordinary results. Clinical strength formulations are used to exfoliate the face using fruit enzymes (glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid) which purify the skin and produce a smoother and silkier appearance.

Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE^®

The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE^® contains 20% Salicylic Acid, 2% Glycolic Acid and 2% Lactic Acid.

A non-invasive, superficial chemical peel, the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance uses a salicylic acid-base to encourage cell renewal for fresher, younger looking skin. By gently exfoliating the skin, it can look firmer, smoother and brighter after just one treatment.

In addition to providing anti-ageing results, the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is also effective at treating acne, because it tackles the problem at its origin. By starving the acne of its fuel, itremoves comedones, deep-cleanses pores and provides an anti-bacterial action.
The Obagi Radiance Peel has been created by Obagi to work on decongesting, brighteningand smoothing the skin for texture.
