What is the Dr. Grandel Professional Collection AHA Mask?
Dr. Grandel Professional Collection AHA Mask is a dual-effect peeling mask formulated for instant deep moisturizing alongside a long-term, well-tolerated peeling effect. The brand’s US professional distributor also lists it as the AHA Mask Index 30.
The mask contains AHA liposomes encapsulating fruit acids, so the acids release gradually rather than in a single strong burst. Its peel index is 30, and its pH value is 5.3 to 5.7 (also cited as 5.0 to 6.0).
Key benefits
- Gentle, well-tolerated peeling: the liposome-encapsulated AHA blend releases gradually, so the peeling feels soft.
- Refined skin surface: formulated to visibly and noticeably refine the look of the skin’s texture.
- Instant moisture: layered on for its moisturizing effect at the same time as its peeling action.
- Fresh, smooth-looking finish: Dr. Grandel also positions the mask for a fresh, smooth complexion after use.
Key ingredients
Per Dr. Grandel’s professional distributor, the mask’s AHA blend builds on liposome-encapsulated malic, citric, lactic and glycolic acids at a total fruit-acid concentration of about 6%. Liposomal encapsulation is used to slow the acids’ release. The aim is a softer peeling feel than an unencapsulated peel of the same strength. However, a full brand-direct ingredient list (INCI) was not published for this professional-only mask; see the note below.
How to use Dr. Grandel AHA Mask
- Cleanse the skin.
- Then apply an even layer of AHA Mask to face, neck and décolleté.
- Leave on for the time directed by your esthetician or the product info sheet.
- After that, remove with a warm, damp cloth or wash mitt.
- Follow with sun protection during the day.
For professional use by licensed estheticians. Patch-test first and avoid use on irritated skin, after hair removal, or if sensitive to fruit acids.
Who Dr. Grandel AHA Mask is for
Dr. Grandel designed AHA Mask as the ideal accompaniment to its Alpha Effect AHA peelings. Estheticians can apply it as a follow-up layer to intensify and extend a peel treatment. It also serves on its own as a professional refining mask.
