What if we told you that you could have more even-toned, glowing skin just in time for the holidays? Meet your new seasonal favorite for correcting summer sun damage: The Thistle Glow Peel!

As the weather cools and our tans fade, our skin often starts to lose that summer glow leaving unwanted pigmentation remaining. Sun exposure, hormones, and aging can all trigger excess pigment and texture changes, leading to melasma, post summer damage, or overall uneven skin tone. 

That’s where our Thistle Glow Peel comes in. This “low and slow” peel brightens discoloration, evens tone, and smooths texture all with minimal downtime. It’s safe for most skin types and tones, making it an ideal option for first time peelers or even if you’re a seasoned skincare enthusiast preparing for the holidays.

How It Works

This melanage peel is packed with brightening ingredients to even skin tone, improve texture, and boost healthy skin renewal. We call it our “low and slow” peel, as it’s hydroquinone-free and works gradually, using a medicated masque and an at-home regimen to maximize results. With gentle acids and retinoids, it smooths and brightens, and can be done solo or in a series every 3-4 weeks for added glow.

Plus, our best-selling Thistle Glow Cream (compounded right in our office) is a powerhouse night treatment with arbutin, 5% retinol, kojic acid, and Vitamins C and E. It’s designed to brighten, fade pigmentation, and promote cell turnover for healthier, more radiant skin.

Downtime: Very minimal with mild flaking for 2-3 days post-application. Flakiness may last up to 14 days post-treatment.

Brightening Ingredients

Each ingredient in the Thistle Glow Peel has been carefully selected to target common post-summer concerns:

  • Retinol: A Vitamin A derivative that boosts cell turnover and collagen production, helping to smooth fine lines, refine texture, and fade discoloration.
  • Arbutin: Blocks tyrosinase activity to help reduce dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma without irritation.
  • Azelaic Acid: Normalizes skin cell renewal, refines texture, and reduces buildup that can lead to clogged pores and uneven tone.
  • Kojic Acid: A natural pigment inhibitor that suppresses tyrosinase activity to fade sunspots, age spots, and other discoloration.

Together, these actives deliver visible results for brighter, smoother, more even skin that glows from within.

Don’t wait until the new year to start taking care of your skin. Book your Thistle Glow Peel now and get closer to holiday-ready skin.
