BCN Peel # 01 - Acne Prone is a chemoexfoliant that combines an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), mandelic acid, with a betahydroxy acid (BHA), salicylic acid. It is characterized by its keratolytic, astringent, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect, its function of normalization of sebaceous follicle fat and neutralization of propionibacterium acnes, responsible for the infection in acne. 

Salicylic acid. It has an important comedolytic effect, keratolytic (accelerates the elimination of corneocytes), astringent and antimicrobial. When applied in high concentration, it produces a "frost" or white epidermolysis on the comedones and acneiform boils that allow the acid to penetrate from the follicular epithelium to the sebaceous gland. It is used with great effectiveness in acne, oily skin and seborrhea. The comedones can be eliminated safely, since it prevents bacterial propagation when handling them.

Mandelic acid. It has a molecular structure greater than other AHAs so it penetrates more slowly in the stratum corneum and requires a longer exposure time. For this reason it does not cause irritation or itching on the skin. It increases the synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans in the papillary dermis. It also presents an antimicrobial action.
