What the peel does
This treatment uses 20% lactic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that loosens bonds between dead surface cells while attracting moisture. Two lightening agents in the formula work alongside lactic acid to soften rough texture and reduce surface discoloration, producing a superficial exfoliation rather than deep resurfacing.
Because the action is superficial, we often pair this peel with our Pineapple Enzyme to enhance smoothing without increasing irritation; the enzyme helps loosen debris while lactic acid hydrates. Clients notice softer, more hydrated, and visually brighter-looking skin as texture improves in the surface layers.
What to expect during treatment
Your appointment begins with a brief skin review and cleansing so we can confirm suitability for a superficial lactic acid application. The 40-minute treatment includes consultation, protective measures, timed application, and neutralization when required; clients commonly feel light warmth or mild tingling while the peel works on the surface.
Aftercare focuses on hydration and sun protection because the peel increases surface cell turnover. We recommend gentle cleansers and moisturizers and advise sunscreen use; avoid aggressive scrubs while skin is renewing. If you plan events at Montverde Academy or a quick stop after commuting on US 27, schedule with that timing in mind.
Who it's best for
This peel is intended for people seeking gentle hydration and superficial smoothing — first-time peelers and clients with rough texture, uneven tone, or surface discoloration. Because it is a lighter, hydrating AHA treatment, we prioritize a consultation for active breakouts, recent aggressive procedures, or pigment concerns to ensure a safe plan.
Mascotte clients appreciate the short appointment and convenient location near Gladiolius Lane for commuters on US 27 or families planning weekend lake outings. Evening and weekend availability makes it easy to fit this 40-minute, $75 treatment into a busy routine without lengthy recovery.
