Invoke Professional Strength

Mandelic Acid 20% Peel – Light Strength (50ml)

A stronger superficial exfoliating peel formulated with 20% Mandelic Acid to visibly improve acne, uneven skin tone, texture, and congestion.

Directions

Please read complete instructions that arrive with your peel prior to application.

Step 1:

Perform a mandatory patch test 24–48 hours before first full application. Apply a small amount behind the ear or along the jawline and monitor for irritation.

Step 2:

Cleanse skin using a gentle, non-active cleanser and pat completely dry. If necessary, lightly degrease skin using an alcohol-free toner. Avoid shaving or waxing 24 hours prior to treatment.

Step 3:

Using gauze, cotton pad, or a fan brush, apply a thin and even layer over the treatment area. Avoid eyes, lips, nostrils, and broken or irritated skin.

Step 4:

Leave on for 1–2 minutes during the first treatment only. Even with tolerance, do not exceed 3–5 minutes.

Step 5:

Rinse immediately with cool water. If instructed, apply Neutralizer Solution first and then rinse thoroughly. Do not wait for frosting.

Step 6:

Apply a gentle moisturizer or healing balm after treatment. Avoid active skincare ingredients for 3–5 days post-peel.

Step 7:

Use once every 2 weeks initially. Frequency may gradually increase to once weekly only after several successful treatments without irritation.
