The Glycolac/60 Combination peel is most effective for treating age spots.
The Glycolic acid is best for evening tone and stimulating new collagen growth under the epidermal layer, whereas the Lactic acid is slightly better at helping to fade pigmentation.
By getting the combination you can get both in one treatment. When you first start, apply it to a test area for 1 minute and then rinse off. Wait 24 hours, and if no problems you can apply the peel. We recommend applying once a week at first, and adjust according to your individual skin sensitivity.
Please remember that pigmentation can only be effectively treated if you use a sunscreen. Sun exposure combined with other factors is the primary cause of age spots, and no treatment will help without good sun protection and avoidance. Any sunscreen with SPF 15+ will be sufficient to protect your skin from over-exposure to the sun.
Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.
