MD Ceuticals Prepeel AHA Complex 15% is a professional-strength home-care exfoliating treatment formulated with a 15% alpha-hydroxy acid complex to gradually renew the skin and prepare it for professional chemical peels and other facial treatments. It promotes controlled exfoliation without the intense peeling associated with in-clinic chemical peels, helping create a smoother and more uniform skin surface before treatment.
The formula combines 7% glycolic acid and 1% lactic acid with an antioxidant acid complex containing tartaric, citric and malic acids. Hyaluronic acid provides additional hydration, while grape seed extract, cucumber extract and vitamin E offer antioxidant support. With continued use, the formula helps improve dullness, uneven texture, fine lines and pigmentation while promoting a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.

What is MD Prepeel AHA Complex 15% used for?
It is designed to gradually exfoliate and condition the skin before professional chemical peels while also improving dullness, uneven texture and pigmentation.
Does it contain 15% glycolic acid?
No. The total AHA complex is 15%. The published formulation specifies 7% glycolic acid, 1% lactic acid, 3% tartaric acid, 2% citric acid and 1% malic acid, together with 1% hyaluronic acid.
Can it help with pigmentation?
Yes. Its exfoliating acids promote epidermal renewal and can help improve uneven pigmentation as part of an appropriate skincare programme. Daily sunscreen is essential.
Can it help with fine lines and rough texture?
Yes. Regular AHA exfoliation can improve surface texture and the appearance of fine lines, and these are among the benefits described for this formulation.
Should I rinse it off?
No. The product is designed to be left on overnight and washed off as part of your morning routine.
Can I use it every night?
The published pre-peel protocol recommends once-daily evening application. However, frequency should be reduced if irritation develops, particularly when introducing AHAs or when using other active skincare ingredients.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is particularly important when using exfoliating acids and when preparing the skin for a chemical peel.
