Triple Exfoliator

Triple Exfoliator – New Version!

Professional-Use Chemical & Enzyme Exfoliator | Advanced Skin Renewal

The Triple Exfoliator is an advanced non-abrasive exfoliation treatment that combines papain enzyme, salicylic acid (BHA), and lactic acid (AHA) to effectively dissolve dead skin cells, refine texture, and enhance skin clarity. This upgraded formula now contains a low percentage of ethanol alcohol to improve ingredient stability and efficacy.

Professional Use Only – Please Read Precautions Before Use.

Key Benefits:

Provides professional-grade exfoliation using three exfoliating technologies.
Gently removes dead skin cells for a smoother, more even complexion.
Minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, and skin roughness.
Brightens skin & improves tone by targeting hyperpigmentation.
Prepares skin for better product absorption.
Reduces breakouts & congestion by keeping pores clear.

How It Works:

Papain Enzyme (Natural Enzyme Exfoliant) – Gently dissolves surface debris, softening fine lines & evening out skin tone.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) – Penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess sebum, slough away dead skin cells, and prevent breakouts.

Lactic Acid (AHA) – An effective yet gentle exfoliant that promotes skin hydration, brightness, and cell renewal.

Important Usage Notes & Precautions:

 Avoid mixing with:
Retinoids (Vitamin A-based products like Clarifying Complex, Vitamin A Serum, Advanced Dermal Complex, or Age Perfect).
Exfoliating Powders or other enzyme-based exfoliants.
Vitamin C, Benzoyl Peroxide, or additional AHA/BHAs.
Homecare products with exfoliating acids 2-3 days before & after treatment.

Post-Treatment Care:
Clients may not experience visible peeling, but exfoliation is still occurring.
Lactic acid increases sun sensitivity—apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 (Protect) daily for at least one week.
Use Soothe at the end of the facial & recommend a hydrating moisturizer for home use.
Avoid using any exfoliants or enzymes for one-week post-treatment.

If the client experiences discomfort above a 7/10 on a sensitivity scale, remove immediately with Hydrating Cleanser (not just water) and allow the skin to cool.

How to Use:

Ensure all visible white chunks of salicylic acid are broken up before application to avoid frosting.
Apply a thin layer with a brush onto cleansed skin.
Leave on for 3-5 minutes.
Remove with Hydrating Cleanser (not just water) to neutralize.
For sensitive skin, dilute with Gentle Rose Exfoliator or Clinical Moisturizer.

Apply Soothe and wait a few minutes then apply Clinical Moisturizer.

Why Choose the Triple Exfoliator?

Dermaki’s Triple Exfoliator has a more corneotherapy-oriented design because it pairs exfoliation with a hydrating base and limits ethanol exposure. Compared with a high-alcohol peel, its potential advantage is less solvent-related drying while still providing enzyme, AHA, and BHA exfoliation.

The distinction is the whole formulation, not simply “enzymes versus acids”—Triple Exfoliator also contains two acids.

Why the low alcohol content matters

Ethanol can help dissolve ingredients and influence their delivery into skin. At higher concentrations, it can also alter the stratum corneum’s lipid organization and permeability. Research shows that its effects depend on concentration and the surrounding formulation; a moisturizing vehicle can substantially change tolerability. That supports minimizing unnecessary ethanol but does not prove that every high-alcohol peel damages skin.

For Dermaki, the defensible benefit is reducing one potential source of dryness and irritation, rather than claiming that low alcohol alone makes the treatment safer.

Why the base fits Dermaki’s barrier-first philosophy

Your aqueous base includes glycerin and urea, which help attract and retain water in the stratum corneum. Urea’s effects depend on concentration: it can provide hydration and, at higher levels, additional exfoliation.

Pairing these ingredients with exfoliants reflects a corneotherapy principle: improve surface texture while paying attention to the hydration and function of the skin barrier. It does not mean exfoliation leaves the barrier completely unaffected.

Why the three exfoliants are useful

• Papain breaks down proteins involved in surface-cell cohesion.
• Lactic acid loosens connections between surface cells to improve texture.
• Salicylic acid helps reduce accumulated cells within pores; describing it as “dissolving excess sebum” overstates its action.

These provide complementary mechanisms. However, three exfoliants are not automatically gentler than one—their concentrations, finished-product pH, enzyme activity, and exposure time determine the treatment’s intensity.

The strongest accurate comparison is: Dermaki’s Triple Exfoliator is designed to combine professional exfoliation with moisture-binding ingredients and low ethanol content, offering a barrier-conscious alternative to high-alcohol peel vehicles. Demonstrating that it is better or safer would require the exact percentages, pH, and comparative testing.

A few instructions in the description need correction before professional use:

• Visible salicylic acid chunks: Breaking them up does not establish that the acid is dissolved or evenly distributed. Visible crystals warrant checking solubility and formula stability before application.
• “Hydrating Cleanser to neutralize”: A cleanser may remove the treatment, but neutralization requires a validated procedure. Do not assume cleansing alone neutralizes the acids.
• Diluting with other products: Mixing with Gentle Rose or moisturizer can change pH, acid availability, and enzyme activity unpredictably; use only a tested dilution protocol.
• “Safe for all skin types”: Replace with “Suitability requires professional skin assessment.” Low alcohol does not eliminate irritation from acids, papain, or essential oils.
• Discomfort: Do not require clients to reach 7/10 before stopping. Unexpected burning, increasing pain, or visible adverse changes justify immediate removal using the validated procedure.
