An Ultra Jessner Peel is a medium-depth chemical exfoliation that combines multiple keratolytic and resurfacing agents to rapidly remove the outer layers of damaged skin, improve texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen remodeling. It’s typically formulated with a combination of salicylic acid (usually 20%), lactic acid (often 10–15%), resorcinol (5–10%), and sometimes small amounts of low-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or additional glycolic/lactic components depending on the protocol. The “ultra” designation generally refers to a higher concentration or layered application intended for more pronounced results than a standard Jessner.
How it works
Salicylic acid: a lipophilic beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates pores, exfoliates follicular keratin, and reduces comedones and oiliness.
Lactic acid (or glycolic acid in some blends): an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the stratum corneum, improves hydration and smoothness, and helps lighten pigmentation.
Resorcinol: a phenolic exfoliant that enhances keratolysis and potentiates the peel’s overall penetration and clinical effect.
TCA (when included in low percentages): increases depth of peel by coagulating proteins in the epidermis and superficial dermis, which boosts collagen remodeling during healing.
Indications
Photoaging: fine lines, rough texture, solar lentigines.
Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (with proper pre- and post-care).
Active acne, acne scars, and comedonal acne.
Thickened or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores.
