In-Depth Review of DIVES MED Peels

 

1. Glycolic Peel 50%

Designed for experienced use, this high-strength glycolic peel targets deep wrinkles, thickened skin, and scarring. Its low pH and keratolytic action promote collagen remodeling. Not ideal for sensitive skin. Post-peel: expect dryness, redness, and mild flaking. Use SPF and barrier repair creams.

2. AcneOut Peel

A multi-acid blend (glycolic, lactic, salicylic, citric + resorcinol) that targets active acne and congestion. Controls sebum, clears pores, reduces PIH and inflammation. Best for oily and combination skin. Slight peeling and dryness may occur post-treatment. SPF is mandatory after use.

3. Lactic Peel

With 72% lactic acid and DMAE, this peel hydrates, firms, and brightens. It’s ideal for dull, dehydrated, or sensitive skin. Helps with tone, texture, and mild hyperpigmentation. Suitable for year-round use. Delivers glowing results with minimal irritation.

4. Anti-Age Soft Peel

A superficial, non-irritating peel with lactic acid, arginine, aloe, and allantoin. Perfect for sensitive or aging skin. Gently renews skin, boosts hydration and radiance. Suitable even before in-office treatments like microneedling or mesotherapy.

5. Mandelic Peel 40%

A gentle AHA peel ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Mandelic acid has slow penetration, reducing irritation. It unclogs pores, balances oil, fades dark spots, and improves clarity. Effective for rosacea-prone skin. Use in 4–6 sessions every 2–3 weeks.
