All ingredients above work by removing your skin cells. Essentially the peels work together to take away the more superficial layers to allow deeper cells to resurface the treated areas and hence replenish the skin. It allows each agent to be less concentrated to decrease complications but increase effectiveness.
Over single and multiple treatments, these peels are likely to induce collagen production under the skin stem cells to improve pore size, tighten the skin, remove unwanted pigmentation, and improve skin texture. It is a very superficial peel and is safe. You need to be cautious with darker skin types like Asians, Hispanics and African Americans as with other skin treatments.
