Civasan Professional Peel Pigmal with Niacinamide & Hyaluronate 5ml x 5pcs | Pro Backbar

Where does a peel with exfoliating acids fit in a facial? We read the INCI before the label.

Most practitioners hear “peel” and expect an one-size-fits-all acid. The INCI shows a base of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Propylene Glycol, with Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Glycolic Acid behind them. We would use it as a controlled exfoliating step in the treatment menu for rough, uneven-looking skin. Read the list below the way a supplier would: what is there, in what order, and what that suggests about the feel on the skin.

At a glance

• Peel, 5ml x 5pcs backbar bottle.
• Niacinamide is listed.

• Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract is listed.
• Exfoliating ingredients listed: Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid.

Reading the formula

Order of the list. The list opens with Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Propylene Glycol, so this is a water-based peel. 48 ingredients are listed in full below, and we describe only what the INCI shows.

Texture. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil give a light, silky slip rather than a heavy film.

Comfort. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate add a moisture-rich, comfortable feel.

Tone-focused. Niacinamide is a familiar choice for skin that looks uneven or dull.

Soothing side. Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract adds a calming, comforting feel.

Smoothing. Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid give a refining, smoothing feel. Follow the usual cautions for exfoliating ingredients.

Care points. Fragrance (or fragrance allergens) is listed; Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid are exfoliating or active ingredients. Check your market rules and patch test sensitive clients.

Which clients

Closest fit, in her own words:

• “I want a smoother-looking surface before makeup.”
• “My pores look more visible in the T-zone.”

Less suited: clients with a damaged skin surface or recent exfoliation, clients who avoid fragrance, reactive or irritated skin and clients straight after a procedure. For that last group, follow your own aftercare protocol.

In the treatment room

• Storage: keep the bottle closed, away from direct sunlight and heat, and follow the storage line on the pack.
• Opening date: write it on the bottle when you open it.
• Patch test: test on a small area and wait 24 hours before a full-face first use.
• Where it fits: a separate, scheduled step with its own consent and aftercare, with the product name written on the menu so clients can ask for it again.
• Backbar handling: follow the brand protocol, apply with a clean tool for each client and keep the container closed.

Choose the treatment your clients need, not the ingredient. A client who says “I want a smoother-looking surface before makeup.” does not need a product name. She needs a controlled exfoliating step in the treatment menu she can feel, and a reason to book the next visit. Make it a named step in your menu and the rebooking follows.
