superficial peeling, exfoliation, keratosis, desquamation which is the process keratinocytes are continually shed from the skin.
|
|
CRF
|
cell renewal factor or cell turnover rate. it is the rate of cell mitosis and migration from the dermis to the top of the epidermis.

list 6 benefits of peels and chemical exfoliation
|
1. improved texture, barrier function, and moisture retention. 2. increased CRF, hydration, and intercellular lipids. 3. reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and surface pigmentation. 4. skin looks and feels smoother and softer. 5. improved skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, and dry skin. 6. potentially stimulating elastin and collagen production
