Product Overview
Cassata Peel™ is a 6% lactic acid, cream-based professional peel formulated to deliver controlled exfoliation, surface renewal, and visible luminosity while maintaining barrier comfort. The formula combines lactic acid with enzymatic exfoliants, lipid replenishment, and calming agents to support glow, smoothness, and skin refinement.
The sensory profile references classic Sicilian cassata: soft cherry, pistachio cream, and a restrained orange liqueur note, intentionally subtle and treatment-appropriate.
