Ekseption Triple Acid Peel Mask in Sunderland
Advanced exfoliation for smoother, brighter-looking skin
If your skin looks dull, feels uneven or lacks radiance, professional chemical exfoliation can help improve the appearance of your complexion. At Pandora’s Box Skin Expert in Sunderland, the Ekseption Triple Acid Peel Mask offers a targeted approach to skin renewal, combining three exfoliating acids in an innovative cream-based formulation.
Unlike traditional water-based peeling solutions, this mask contains an oil phase designed to improve the formulation’s affinity with the skin and support the delivery and distribution of its active ingredients.
The result is a professional exfoliating treatment designed to leave skin looking smoother, fresher and more refined.
How does the Ekseption Triple Acid Peel Mask work?
The formulation combines three acids that work across different levels of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Each acid has its own characteristics, allowing them to complement one another as part of the exfoliation process.
Gluconolactone – Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA)
Gluconolactone helps exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells. PHAs are generally larger molecules than traditional AHAs, making them an option to consider when selecting an exfoliating treatment suited to individual skin needs.
Lactobionic Acid – Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA)
Lactobionic acid provides additional exfoliating action within the superficial epidermis. It is also known for its humectant properties, helping attract and retain moisture. This contributes to the formulation's approach to exfoliation while supporting skin hydration.
Lactic Acid – Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)
Lactic acid is a smaller-molecule exfoliating acid that can penetrate further into the epidermis. It helps loosen the bonds between dead skin cells, supporting their removal and encouraging a smoother-looking skin surface.
Together, these three acids provide complementary exfoliation across the epidermis.
What makes this peel different?
The Ekseption Triple Acid Peel Mask uses a cream-based formulation with a low pH, rather than a conventional aqueous peeling solution.
Its lipophilic, or oil-based, phase increases the formulation's affinity with the skin. Combined with a penetration booster, this is designed to support more even coverage and improved deposition of the acids.
This formulation allows the peel to deliver effective exfoliating action despite using a moderate concentration of acids. However, the strength and suitability of a peel depend on more than acid concentration alone, including pH, formulation, contact time and individual skin sensitivity.
Key ingredients and their benefits
Tribehenin PEG-20 Esters
This ingredient helps provide emollient and soothing properties within the formulation. It supports the skin's lipid balance and helps maintain a comfortable, moisturised skin feel.
Myristyl Lactate
An emollient derived from a fatty acid and lactic acid, myristyl lactate helps soften and smooth the skin while contributing to the moisturising properties of the cream-based mask.
Mandarin Essential Oil
Mandarin essential oil provides the formulation's fragrance, adding a fresh citrus aroma to the treatment experience. As with other fragranced skincare products, individual sensitivity should be considered.
What skin concerns can a triple acid peel help address?
Professional acid exfoliation may be considered as part of a personalised skincare plan for concerns such as:
* Dull-looking skin and a lack of radiance
* Uneven skin texture
* The appearance of superficial congestion
* Rough or flaky skin
* Uneven-looking skin tone
* Visible signs of skin ageing, including fine lines
*
Results vary according to your skin condition, treatment protocol and homecare routine. A chemical peel cannot guarantee the removal of pigmentation, acne or wrinkles, and not every peel is suitable for every skin type.
Is the Ekseption Triple Acid Peel Mask suitable for you?
Choosing the right exfoliating treatment begins with understanding your skin. During your consultation, I will consider your skin condition, current skincare products, sensitivity and treatment goals before deciding whether this peel is appropriate.
Professional chemical peels require careful application and suitable aftercare. The treatment may not be appropriate if your skin barrier is compromised, your skin is irritated or you have certain skin conditions or sensitivities. Suitability will be assessed in line with the manufacturer's guidance.
After treatment, you will receive personalised aftercare advice. This will generally include gentle cleansing, appropriate moisturisation, avoiding additional exfoliating products until advised and daily broad-spectrum SPF protection.
