The iS Clinical Extra Strength Active Peel Brightening System is a professional-grade, two-step botanical peel system that delivers 15 at-home treatments designed to exfoliate, resurface, and visibly correct uneven skin tone. Formulated with three times the brightening and exfoliating power of the original iS Clinical Active Peel System, this kit targets stubborn hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, and sun damage with a concentrated blend of botanical AHAs, antioxidants, and skin-recovery actives. Both steps carry a light botanical fragrance.

Key Benefits

Lifts stubborn hyperpigmentation without triggering new discoloration Sugarcane extract, lemon extract, bilberry extract, apple fruit extract, and sugar maple extract deliver a multi-source AHA complex that breaks down surface pigmentation while dipotassium glycyrrhizate works to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation during the resurfacing process.

Clears congestion and smooths uneven texture Salicylic acid and willow bark extract penetrate into pores to dissolve buildup and refine rough, bumpy texture, so skin feels noticeably smoother with each treatment.

Protects skin at the cellular level and supports faster recovery Exitremozyme® technology in Step 2 shields cellular DNA from oxidative and environmental damage, while tripeptide-1 supports collagen synthesis and helps skin recover more quickly between treatments.

Replenishes hydration and calms the barrier Imperata cylindrica root extract, glycerin, sodium PCA, and sorbitol deliver layered hydration to keep skin comfortable throughout the peel cycle, while dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothes sensitivity and supports a healthy barrier.

Delivers antioxidant defense as skin renews Ascorbic acid, glutathione, and watermelon fruit extract neutralize free radicals on freshly resurfaced skin, protecting new cell turnover and helping skin look clearer and more even over the full 30-day cycle.

In a clinical trial after two weeks:

• 84% of users reported more youthful, luminous looking skin
• 96% of users reported improvements in skin smoothness/texture
• 100% of users reported improvements in oily skin or large pore size

After four weeks:

• 70% of users reported less overall breakouts
• 87% of users reported improvements in unwanted pigmentation
• 90% of users reported a reduction in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles

*Study completed over a 4 week period of 32 subjects which included use of Cleansing Complex and Eclipse SPF 50+ as part of their regimen throughout the study.

This system is best suited for skin that has already built a tolerance to chemical exfoliants and is ready for a more targeted approach to hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, or stubborn post-acne marks. If your current routine includes AHAs or other acids and you haven't seen the pigment correction you're looking for, this extra-strength formula is designed to take those results further.

It works especially well for combination to oily skin types dealing with both pigmentation concerns and congested pores, since salicylic acid and willow bark extract address texture and blemishes at the same time the AHA complex works on tone. Consistent SPF use every morning is essential while using this system.

If your skin is new to chemical exfoliation or tends to react easily to actives, the original iS Clinical Active Peel System is a better starting point. For any questions about which formula fits your skin, our licensed estheticians are available for a free skincare consultation.

Don't let the extra-strength label set expectations for dramatic flaking. This system is specifically engineered to work below the surface, lifting existing pigmentation while dipotassium glycyrrhizate and the Extremozyme® technology actively prevent the kind of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that more aggressive peels can trigger. The result is a smarter resurfacing approach, not simply a more intense one.

Prepare: Cleanse skin thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before applying either step.

Apply Step 1: Apply the Step 1 pad evenly across the face and neck. Leave on for 3 minutes without rinsing. A tingling sensation during this time is normal.

Apply Step 2: Immediately after Step 1, apply Step 2 over the same area. Leave on without rinsing.

Frequency: Use every other night for 30 days, preferably in the evening. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning throughout the treatment cycle.
