I PEEL lightening lift® FORTE

For more advanced visible discoloration, I PEEL lightening lift® FORTE elevates the brightening approach with high-strength lactic acid and kojic acid. Lactic acid provides intensive resurfacing to lift dull surface buildup and smooth uneven texture, while kojic acid helps reduce the appearance of excess pigmentation. Professionally selected and precisely timed, the treatment reveals a brighter, clearer and more even-looking complexion. 

Best for:
  • Stubborn Dark Spots • Uneven Tone • Discoloration • Photodamage • Rough Texture

Flaking, redness, tightness or dehydration may occur for approximately 7–10 days following treatment.

Discontinue strong exfoliants and retinol 7–10 days before treatment. Your skincare professional may also recommend adding a melanocyte stabilizer, such as ILUMA® intense brightening serum, to your pre-treatment routine.

For immediate redness and comfort, apply a cold compress as needed. Avoid strong exfoliants and retinol for up to two weeks, and do not pick at peeling or flaking skin. Keep your skincare routine simple with gentle cleansing, consistent hydration and daily SPF.
