Stretchpeel

StretchPeel is a professional protective metabolic cream designed to support a more uniform skin appearance while providing functional UVA–UVB protective support without alcohol-based sunscreen systems. Through the combined action of kojic acid and arbutin, its formulation contributes to the modulation of pigmentation-related pathways and helps limit photo-induced skin stress, supporting surface protection and visual refinement without the drawbacks commonly associated with alcohol-containing sunblocks.

Functional Classification

Metabolic Clinical Approach

Primary Clinical Function

Support of pigmentation balance and functional UVA–UVB protection of skin appearance.

Clinical Approach

Metabolic clinical approach combining pigmentation-modulating agents with functional photoprotective support, designed to limit photo-induced skin stress and support surface protection without alcohol-based occlusive or irritative mechanisms.

Specific Indications

Support of mild hyperchromias and uneven skin tone.
Melasma-prone and hyperchromic skin profiles, including post-inflammatory pigmentation risk.
Visible improvement of age-related spots on the hands and other chronically exposed areas.
Adjunct care to support pigment balance and epidermal recovery following dermabrasion and chemodermabrasion procedures.
Adjunct care to improve skin comfort and surface uniformity after corrective or resurfacing treatments.
Functional UVA–UVB protective support for daily exposure through metabolic and biochemical pathways, without reliance on sunscreen labeling or commercial SPF systems, including alcohol-based sunscreens.
Maintenance of pigmentation control between corrective procedures and long-term protocols.
Skin profiles requiring non-SPF-based photoprotection strategies due to sensitivity or intolerance.

Key Active Ingredients

Key Functional Active Ingredients

StretchPeel is formulated as a functional photoprotective and depigmenting system, acting through metabolic and biochemical pathways rather than SPF-based UV filtering mechanisms.

Kojic Acid — functional inhibition of tyrosinase activity, supporting melanin regulation in hyperchromic skin profiles.
Alpha-Arbutin — metabolic depigmenting support acting on melanogenesis pathways, suitable for long-term protocols.
Antioxidant Complex — protection against UV-induced oxidative stress and support of cellular resilience.
Barrier-Supporting Excipients — reinforcement of epidermal comfort and tolerance during daily environmental exposure.

StretchPeel provides functional UVA–UVB protective support through metabolic and biochemical pathways, independent of sunscreen labeling paradigms.

What it is / What it is not

Clinical Identity

WHAT IT IS

A dermo-functional product designed for pigmentation modulation and UV-related metabolic stress control.
A functional photoprotective support acting through metabolic and biochemical pathways rather than filter-based shielding.
A maintenance and stabilization step integrated into hyperchromia protocols, including melasma-prone skin profiles.
A high-tolerance daily support designed to preserve comfort and surface uniformity without visible downtime.

WHAT IT IS NOT

Not an aggressive peel and not intended to produce deliberate exfoliation or downtime.
Not a “filter-based sunscreen” concept: it is based on functional metabolic support.
Not a substitute for clinical corrective procedures; it is a protocol stabilizer.
Not a product designed for uncontrolled self-medication: it follows professional protocol logic.

This section describes functional protocol positioning and does not constitute a pharmacological or therapeutic claim.

Clinical Considerations & Photoprotection Strategy

Clinical Note – Regarding Commercial Sunscreens

In post-peel, post-dermabrasion, or pigmentation-prone contexts, the systematic use of conventional commercial sunscreens should be carefully reconsidered.

Most over-the-counter SPF formulations commonly contain:

Alcohols (ethanol, denatured alcohol, isopropanol) – frequently used as penetration enhancers or texture modifiers, but clinically incoherent in post-procedural or metabolically fragile skin, where they may impair barrier recovery and increase irritation.
Metal-based mineral filters (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) – which, particularly in nanoparticle form, may interfere with post-peel regeneration and have been associated with paradoxical pigmentation responses in sensitive or inflamed skin.

StretchPeel does not aim to replace classical sunscreen logic, but rather to provide a functional surface protection strategy integrated within a metabolic and regenerative approach, especially in contexts where conventional SPF products may be poorly tolerated.

Key Functional Benefits

Functional advantages within professional protocols

Supports pigmentation stability and reduces the risk of UV-related metabolic imbalance in hyperchromic and melasma-prone skin profiles.
Contributes to surface uniformity and luminosity without inducing exfoliation or visible downtime.
Enhances skin comfort and tolerance during and after corrective or resurfacing procedures.
Provides functional daily photoprotection support through metabolic pathways, independent of filter-based approaches.
Integrates seamlessly into long-term maintenance protocols without interfering with active corrective treatments.

Benefits are described in the context of professional dermo-functional use and observable protocol outcomes.

Combinations with Other Products

Before – Skin Preparation

Recommended combinations (before):

Aseptiskin – Essential skin cleansing and aseptic surface preparation prior to any dermo-functional or depigmenting procedure, ensuring optimal protocol safety and predictability.
PrePeel – Normalizes the skin surface and prepares cutaneous receptivity prior to corrective or depigmenting protocols.
Microabrasive Cream – Improves surface uniformity and limits pigment retention on uneven, thickened, or hyperkeratotic areas.

Clinical benefit: Ensures controlled surface conditions, optimizes skin receptivity, and reduces the risk of post-procedure pigmentation irregularities.

Typical sequencing: Aseptiskin is applied immediately prior to the procedure. Preparatory products may be used for several days beforehand according to skin profile and protocol objectives.

After – Post-Procedure / Maintenance

Recommended combinations (after):

Post Peel – Supports barrier recovery and helps calm skin reactivity following aesthetic procedures.
Gradient Cream – Provides metabolic support and contributes to progressive improvement of skin quality during recovery and maintenance phases.
StretchPeel – Introduced after a minimum interval of approximately 15 minutes following application of Peeling de Luxe Plus, without removing Peeling de Luxe Plus, as a functional photoprotective and pigment-stabilizing layer.

Clinical benefit: Supports post-procedure recovery while maintaining pigmentation stability and reducing UV-related metabolic stress.

Typical sequencing: Apply Peeling de Luxe Plus according to protocol. After a controlled waiting period (≈15 minutes), introduce StretchPeel without removing the underlying peel. Complementary care may be applied in the evening as indicated.

Alternate – Synergy & Comfort Modulation

Recommended combinations (alternate):

Lipoic Acid – Antioxidant and metabolic modulation when alternated to reinforce tolerance and oxidative balance.
Clarté de Lune – Night-time support focusing on oxidative balance and skin comfort.
Rose du Désert or Les Félins – Enhances hydration and sensory comfort, particularly for sensitive or chronically exposed skin.

Clinical benefit: Allows flexible alternation of care while preserving comfort, supporting pigment stability, and limiting irritation.

Typical sequencing: Alternate by day, night, or treated area according to phototype, skin sensitivity, and protocol objectives.

Usage Context

Professional (B2B) use: StretchPeel may be integrated into metabolic or pigment-oriented protocols as a maintenance or consolidation step, particularly following in-office aesthetic procedures. Its formulation supports skin comfort and surface protection without increasing procedural intensity or downtime.

Home-care (B2C) use: StretchPeel is suitable for daily or long-term application as a standalone product or as part of a structured skincare routine. It offers high tolerance and functional photoprotective support, with no expected downtime and good compatibility with prolonged use.
