Shikimic Acid Peel clinically proven to improve skin

Advanced skincare experts Dr Irena Eris has added a new Shikimic Acid Peel to its range of professional skin peels.

Featuring anti-aging Glycolic and Lactic acids along with anti-blemish Mandelic acid, Shikimic Acid Peel is part of the brand's 165 Professional collection, offering an anti-pigmentation effect as well as combatting acne breakouts.

Shikimic acid belongs to the AHA group of acids, and has excellent exfoliating properties without causing irritation. Active antioxidant properties protect skin against premature ageing, whilst the acid effectively inhibits the development of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne lesions. The secretion of sebum is regulated, whilst skin is brightened and whitened by the product's ability to inhibit the activity of Tyrosinase. Keratinisation of the epidermis is regulated and the thickness of the outer layers of the epidermis is reduced.

The product has been clinically proven to improve the condition of the skin, even skin tone, decrease wrinkles and discolouration, reduce blackheads and improve hydration and smoothness of the skin.

Dr Irena Eris Shikimic Acid Peel is available from Skincare Pro.
