PHOENIX, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- chemical peels are one of the best ways to improve skin's overall appearance, but they require an office visit, a pretty penny and some downtime. philosophy makes it possible to achieve visible results at home with the microdelivery triple-acid brightening peel.

the microdelivery triple-acid brightening peel delivers advanced brightening and anti-aging benefits in one step. the breakthrough triple-acid formula helps reclaim the glory of youthful skin by dissolving and sweeping away dead skin cells, brightening discoloration, improving clarity, and buffering the appearance of fine lines. all with less potential for irritation. after only two uses, skin is smoother and brighter. after four uses, fine lines and sun damage are visibly diminished. *results based on a once weekly use, 12-week clinical study

the microdelivery triple-acid brightening peel uses mandelic acid, a next-generation alpha hydroxy acid ideal for all skin tones and ethnicities. mandelic acid provides the benefits of more traditional alpha hydroxy acids, with less potential for irritation. the revolutionary, triple-acid combination of mandelic, azelaic and phytic acids, along with advanced skin-brightening technology, visibly reduces the appearance of dark spots and discoloration for radiant, youthful-looking skin.

philosophy pioneered a next-generation medical microdermabrasion procedure popular among plastic surgeons and their patients. the microdelivery dual-phase peel revolutionized the peel category because it offers a less expensive, less invasive, in-home version of this treatment.

as the skin peel experts, philosophy expanded their family of peels to feature different types of exfoliation to target specific skin care concerns. philosophy products don't just give your skin a peel; they give back skin-loving ingredients for a complete skin makeover. their clinically-proven peels deliver results quickly and conveniently at home with absolutely zero downtime.
