What is a Croton Oil Facial Peel?

Our Croton oil facial peel exfoliates the skin and encourage cellular turnover in order to revitalize your skin. They are designed from a medical perspective to provide proven results. A peel can thicken your skin and can prevent and correct fine wrinkles, especially around the lower eyelids. Peels are best used in conjunction with fillers, and a good skin care line. They cause minimal discomfort, with a week of recovery time.

What is recovery like?

Following your treatment, you will have to wear a special moisturizing barrier cream for one week. This is a thick white zink-based cream, which will make it difficult to return to work or go about your regular activities for the recovery period.
