Zusammenfassung:Skin treatment compositions and methods provide a superficial depth skin peel and exfoliation utilizing a combination of four acids, a carrier gel, colorant(s), and a topical oxygen delivery system. The combination of acids, oxygen delivery, gel formulation and colorant(s) aid in the efficacy of the formulations to result in beneficial skin treatment compositions by creating an effective superficial peel without the use of BHA's and only using AHA's having a molecular weight greater than 100. The AHA's used in the present invention are intended to predominately impact the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin. The AHA's utilized in the present invention reduce corneocyte adhesion by impacting the ionic bonds in a manner that reduces the cohesion forces. The corneocytes are then more easily shed and replaced by the newer, bright layers underneath. This can give the skin a smoother and less scaly appearance.
