The Science
The Formula
A multi-acid treatment formula unchanged for over 88 years — and the reason it works so differently from anything else available for home use.
Overview
The Skin Culture Peel combines Resorcinol, Salicylic Acid, and Phenol — three clinically proven exfoliating ingredients — in a rich cream base.
Working together over several days, they help remove layers of old, damaged skin to reveal fresher, smoother, healthier-looking skin beneath.

The Mechanism
Six days. Noticeable results.
Application Phase
The Peel Cream is applied once daily for two to four days, depending on the strength chosen. Each application is left on for 90 minutes, allowing the active ingredients to work deeply into the skin.
Shedding Phase
Once the Peel Cream applications are complete, the Normalizer Cream is used to begin the shedding process. Over the following days, the treated skin gradually peels away to reveal fresh, new skin underneath.
Renewal
Once the old skin sheds, fresher, renewed skin is revealed underneath. Acne marks, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation appear visibly improved — often after just one treatment cycle.
