SpiculeRx


This advanced spicule-based resurfacing peel delivers both mechanical and biochemical stimulation to accelerate epidermal renewal while targeting discoloration and textural concerns. The spicules create micro-channels within the skin to enhance penetration and promote rapid cellular turnover. 4-Butylresorcinol provides potent tyrosinase inhibition, making it highly effective for addressing stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma.

Retinol amplifies the peel’s regenerative activity by increasing epidermal turnover, improving firmness, and supporting long-term collagen renewal. Azelaic acid offers dual benefits—melanin regulation and anti-inflammatory action—helping calm irritation while reducing PIH. Alpha arbutin further suppresses excess pigment formation, creating a synergistic brightening effect with 4-butylresorcinol.

Beta carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, provides antioxidant support and aids in strengthening the skin barrier as regeneration is stimulated. Together, these actives create a powerful corrective peel that enhances luminosity, evens skin tone, refines texture, and promotes a clearer, healthier-looking complexion with minimal downtime.
