Based on freshwater algae, with strong humectant properties the Algae Peeling is an effective modality of skin resurfacing. Upon massaging the algae fibers into the skin, they penetrate the epidermis and mechanically reduce keratinocyte cohesion thereby increasing stratum corneum sloughing and sebum plug removal. Algae Peeling additionally aids in the delivery of bioactive compounds to the dermis that normalize the function of the sebaceous glands, exhibit antibacterial action and prevent inflammation. Furthermore, the exfoliating action of the algae fibers promotes decongestion of pores and prevents hyperkeratinization that leads to future occlusion and consequent formation of comedones.
