Description
Vigil — Night-Long Renewal Treatment Mask
Post-Peel Continuation Treatment | Home Peel Booster
Vigil is a night-long renewal treatment mask designed for use after professional exfoliation. Dispensed to clients as a take-home treatment, it maintains controlled cellular turnover overnight while supporting barrier integrity and recovery.
Rationale for Post-Peel Continuation
Professional exfoliation initiates accelerated keratinocyte turnover, temporary barrier disruption, increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and heightened cellular signaling activity.
Without continuation, this activity can decelerate prematurely, resulting in incomplete desquamation and reduced overall treatment outcome. Vigil is designed to be used at home to maintain this induced activity and extend the results of the peel.

- Home peel booster
- Overnight vitamin A resurfacing system
Microencapsulated Vitamin A: Controlled Release Kinetics
Vigil utilizes microencapsulated retinol to deliver gradual, time-released activity throughout the night.
This delivery model supports sustained keratinocyte turnover, extends the activity window of vitamin A, and aligns with the skin’s natural overnight renewal processes.
The result is progressive visible resurfacing with improved uniformity and reduced likelihood of abrupt irritation.
Functional System Architecture
Vigil is structured as a multi-system treatment, allowing active renewal to occur within a supported environment.
1. Turnover Continuation System
Retinol supports ongoing desquamation initiated by the peel and contributes to refinement of surface texture and reduction of residual roughness.
2. Barrier Compensation System
To offset post-peel vulnerability, Vigil incorporates ceramide complex, phospholipids, cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, mango butter, camellia seed oil, argan oil, and sunflower seed oil.
This system supports lipid organization and barrier cohesion while allowing continued turnover without excessive occlusion.
3. Hydration and Corneocyte Flexibility
Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder maintain hydration within the stratum corneum.
This supports skin flexibility, reduces tightness, and promotes more even visible desquamation.
4. Stress Modulation and Skin Comfort
Allantoin and ectoin support skin stability during active renewal, while edelweiss extract, tocopherol, and acai extract provide antioxidant support.
5. Regenerative Support Environment
sh-Oligopeptide-1, hydrolyzed RNA, and hydrolyzed DNA contribute to a supportive environment for ongoing renewal and recovery processes.
Use Protocol
Vigil is dispensed as a take-home treatment immediately following a professional peel and used in the evening.
- Nightly Treatment: Apply a thin, even layer to clean skin.
- Overnight Mask: Apply a more generous layer and leave on overnight for increased activity.
Its role is to maintain post-peel momentum and support continued resurfacing after the client leaves the treatment room.
Clinical Positioning
Vigil is a treatment-phase formulation. It is not a basic moisturizer or occlusive recovery product, but a targeted system designed to extend professional exfoliation outcomes into the home environment.
Conclusion
Vigil supports continued epidermal turnover through controlled delivery of vitamin A while maintaining hydration and barrier function during the post-peel phase.
This approach allows renewal and recovery to occur simultaneously, improving the consistency and completeness of treatment results.
