Professional Product Overview
Medicalia Retinol & Hexylresorcinol Peel is a professional resurfacing peel selected for advanced visible ageing, photo-damage, uneven-looking tone and rough texture. Its acid blend, retinoid component and hexylresorcinol support a smoother, brighter and more even-looking complexion.
This standalone product requires Medicalia Neutralizing Gel 120ml for neutralisation. The gel and Peel Prep Solution are purchased separately and must be ready before treatment.
Available Size
Professional 120 ml bottle. For trained professional use only; not for retail home application. This listing is for the peel alone.
When to Recommend
Consider for professionally assessed advanced ageing concerns, sun-related uneven tone, rough texture, visible lines or an uneven surface appearance. The supplier identifies Glogau IV as a selection reference; this does not establish suitability for every client within that classification.
Do not use on sensitive, irritated, infected, broken or presently peeling skin, or on children under 16. Review medicines, recent procedures, sun exposure and allergies before selecting a treatment plan.
Professional Benefits
- Helps refine rough surface texture.
- Supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
- Helps improve the appearance of visible lines and skin firmness.
- Provides a focused professional resurfacing option for suitable advanced ageing concerns.
How the Product Works
Lactic, glycolic and phytic acids provide exfoliation alongside an enzyme component, Mucor Miehei Extract (Acto-Zyme). The formula also contains a retinoid component and hexylresorcinol, supporting its renewal and uneven-tone focus. Glycerin and Sea Whip Extract contribute skin-conditioning support. Neutralizing Gel is a separate required product applied after thorough cold-water peel removal; it is not mixed into the peel.
Professional Application
Use the peel as the resurfacing stage in the Medicalia Retinol & Hexylresorcinol Peel Treatment. Usage summarises the essential method; the BCP Step-by-Step Professional Application Guide (PDF) provides consultation, preparation and aftercare detail.

Professional Use in Treatment
For trained professionals only, following consultation and current training. Do not use on sensitive, compromised, presently peeling or laser-treated skin, or under 16s. Cleanse with Gentle Cleanser and Gentle Toner; blot dry. Protect eyes with cool damp pads, protect nostril openings and delicate lip areas with Gentle Cream, and stay at least 1/2 inch from the eyes. With gloves, rub a small amount of Peel Prep Solution vigorously over assessed skin using textured gauze; do not rinse.
Decant 5 ml (one teaspoon). Apply a thin, even layer to the face with a cotton-tip applicator and medium pressure; do not overlap. Start at up to 1 minute initially. Increase by 1-2 minutes over successive treatments according to tolerance, to a maximum of 10 minutes. Monitor continuously; never leave the client unattended. Stop early for deep redness, frosting/blanching, burning or intolerable discomfort.
Remove thoroughly with cold-water-soaked pads, then immediately apply Neutralizing Gel. Work gently with cold-water-damp fingertips, wait 2 minutes, rinse thoroughly with cold water and blot dry. Do not routinely apply moisturiser immediately afterward. Use as a standalone peel, without a facial, steamer, high-frequency or galvanic stage; no waxing before or after and allow at least 4 hours after shaving. Do not exceed one application per week; allow longer recovery where needed.
Give written aftercare: avoid makeup for 24 hours, sun exposure and acids/exfoliants while sensitive; following-day cleansing uses Gentle Cleanser. Agree sunscreen and any special-case Post-Operative Cream timing with the treating practitioner. Prescription changes require prescriber input. See the BCP Step-by-Step Professional Application Guide (PDF) for complete screening and aftercare.
Is Neutralizing Gel included with this peel?
No. This standalone listing is for the 120 ml peel. Neutralizing Gel and Peel Prep Solution are separate required purchases; have them ready before starting.
Who is this peel intended for?
Trained professionals assessing advanced visible ageing, photo-damage, uneven tone or rough texture. The supplier references Glogau IV; consultation, skin condition and treatment history determine selection.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin or home use?
No. Product-specific guidance excludes sensitive skin, and this peel is for professional application only.
Can Neutralizing Gel replace cold-water removal?
No. Remove the peel thoroughly with cold-water-soaked pads before applying the gel. Follow Usage and the application guide for the complete sequence.
Can I combine it with another facial or device stage?
Use it as a standalone peel. Do not add a facial, steamer, high-frequency or galvanic stage.
How should treatment intensity be chosen?
Assess tolerance and recovery at each session. Follow the progressive limits in Usage rather than treating the maximum exposure as a target.
