Peeling

What is Peeling and Why is it an Indispensable Step in Skincare?

Dermokil's peeling collection offers a complete skin renewal routine in 4 different categories: chemical and physical peeling masks for the face, peel-off sock-type peeling masks for the feet, clay and hemp oil peeling masks for the hands, and enzyme powder peels that provide results close to professional care. Dead cells accumulated on the skin surface prevent moisturizers and active care products from penetrating the skin, making the skin appear dull and lifeless. Regular peeling removes this accumulation, both improving skin appearance and increasing the effectiveness of other care products.

Types of Peeling: Physical or Chemical?

Physical Peeling (Scrub): Removes dead skin cells through mechanical friction with small particles such as clay particles or natural abrasives. Dermokil's pink clay and green clay peeling masks fall into this category. Provides instant and visible smoothness; should be applied with controlled pressure and gentle movements.

Chemical Peeling (Acid-Based): Actives such as AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), BHA (beta hydroxy acid), glycolic acid, lactic acid, and azelaic acid dissolve cell bonds and lift the dead skin layer. Does not require friction; works at a cellular level to renew the skin. Dermokil's enzyme powder peeling formulas fall into this category.

Enzyme Peeling: Botanical enzymes such as papain (papaya) or bromelain (pineapple) gently remove dead keratin proteins by digesting them. It is a gentler exfoliation method than chemical acids, more suitable for sensitive skin. Dermokil enzyme powder peeling formulas combine enzymatic action with AHA/BHA acids.

Facial Peeling Products

AHA+BHA+Niacinamide Enzyme Powder Peeling 50 g: Dermokil's most potent facial renewal formula in its peeling collection. Glycolic acid (AHA) dissolves surface dead cells, salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates pores and clears blockages, azelaic acid balances sebum and helps reduce acne formation. Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier after exfoliation. One scoop of powder from the box is mixed with water in the palm of the hand, foamed, and applied to the face. Used twice a week, with at least 3 days between applications.

Skin Tone Even Hyaluron Enzyme Powder Peeling 50 g: Special formula for spots and uneven tone. Enzyme exfoliation is combined with azelaic acid and hyaluronic acid to provide both renewal and hydration. Azelaic acid, with its spot-preventing effect, integrates active anti-spot support into the peeling routine. It is the primary choice for those aiming for brighter and more even-toned skin.

Pure Peeling Mask 3 in 1 150 ml: Multi-purpose formula that can be used in 3 different ways: daily face cleanser, weekly peeling, and pore mask. The combination of mineral clay and hyaluronic acid purifies and moisturizes simultaneously. For weekly deep peeling, an intensified application can be made to the forehead, nose, and chin areas.

Peeling Effect Green Clay Mask (15 ml / 4-piece Set): A dual-action formula that purifies the skin both physically and chemically with the strong adsorption capacity of green clay and an AHA complex. Vitamin C content provides a brightening effect to the skin after exfoliation.

Peeling Effect Oil Balancing Pink Clay Mask 75 ml: A weekly routine mask that provides gentle physical peeling with micronized pink clay particles. Panthenol (vitamin B5) content maintains moisture balance during the exfoliation process. Ideal for oily and combination skin.

Foot Peeling Products

Vitamin C Peel-Off Sock-Type Foot Mask 30 ml: Dermokil's most special foot care product. The mask, designed in sock format, is worn on the foot, left for 6-9 minutes, and then rinsed. The chemical peeling effect containing lactic acid and glycolic acid ensures the natural shedding of dead skin from the feet 4-8 days after application. This product provides a unique experience for thickened, hardened, and cracked heel problems, giving significant results with a single application.

Peeling Effect Peel-Off Foot Mask 30 ml (Single and Sets): Lactic acid-containing peel-off foot mask. Softens and removes dead skin and callus buildup on the feet using a chemical peeling method. After 15-20 minutes of application, it is rinsed; dead skin naturally sheds in 4-8 days. Single pack, 2-piece set with moisturizing foot mask, and combined set options with repairing hand mask are available.

Clay and Hemp Oil Peeling Effect Foot Mask 35 ml: Unlike the peel-off format, this is a classic mask formula that is applied and rinsed. Clay penetrates and purifies dead skin, while hemp seed oil nourishes and moisturizes the foot. After waiting 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm water. Single, 2-piece set, and combined set options with hand mask are available.

Hand Peeling Products

Clay and Hemp Oil Peeling Effect Hand Mask 35 ml (Single and Set): Special peeling formula for hand skin. Clay purifies dead skin and dirt on the hand surface; hemp oil, rich in omega-3 and omega-6, nourishes and intensely moisturizes hand skin. It is a weekly intensive care routine for hands damaged by kitchen work, detergent exposure, and seasonal conditions.

What to Consider After Peeling

After peeling, the skin surface becomes more sensitive. Moisturizer must be applied after facial peeling; sunscreen is mandatory for peelings done in the morning. Chemical peeling products (acid-containing) should not be applied more than once a day, and the weekly usage limit should not be exceeded. Peeling should not be applied to areas with active acne or open wounds. Beginners should start with a low frequency (once a week) to observe the skin's reaction, then they can increase it.
