Herbal peels have long been a staple in the skincare industry, combining natural plant-based ingredients with scientifically proven effectiveness. The modern herb peel is now becoming a staple choice for skin therapists, opting for their powerful formulas to help correct the most troubling skin conditions.
Leading this innovation is OmniDerm, the Australian distributor of the renowned Alex Herbal Peeling Treatment, part of the herbs2peel range by Alex Cosmetic. The brand’s standout product, the C Peel, delivers transformative results by blending resurfacing and regeneration, all while supporting the skin’s long-term health and integrity.
We spoke to Paul Fister, Founder of OmniDerm, to learn more about the unique formula of these peels.
Why Are Herb Peels So Effective?
The Alex Herbal Peeling Treatment has a dual impact on the skin: resurfacing combined with regeneration. Our C Peel results in ‘New Skin in 5 Days’. The ‘C’ stands for Corrective – this peel improves the appearance of many skin conditions and concerns.
Unlike other treatments, the C Peel delivers a diverse range of phytochemicals from 14 different herbs, along with vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and secondary metabolites. These herbs are massaged into the skin, releasing their beneficial properties over 48 hours. Even in small amounts, these herbal components activate the skin, stimulating rapid new cell formation. Within five days, the old skin layer is ready to shed, revealing refreshed and revitalised skin.
Our skin is always working toward homeostasis. Our C Peel acts like a “reboot” for your skin, leaving it fresh, regenerated, and glowing with health. Even though the peeling can look quite dramatic there is no sign of trauma. Results that typically take months with treatments like needling or daily AHA skincare can be achieved in just five days.
The skin absorbs phytonutrients that regenerate and strengthen it, enhancing resilience over time. With a pH similar to the skin’s natural level (around 5.6), the C Peel avoids thinning the skin or increasing light sensitivity. This sustainable approach supports the long-term integrity of the skin, making it suitable for all skin types on the Fitzpatrick Scale.
The Alex C Peel is a medically developed professional skin resurfacing treatment with over 60 years of proven results and global recognition. Its final formulation and protocols were refined through clinical trials conducted at the Institute for Experimental Dermatology at the University of Witten-Herdecke in Essen, Germany.
What Makes The Formula So Unique?
Herbal medicine, which involves using plants for therapeutic purposes, has been integral to the health practices of many cultures throughout history. In Europe, its roots trace back to ancient Greece, with the influential work De Materia Medica, written around 77 CE by the Greek physician Dioscorides. During the Medieval Period, monasteries became centres of learning and healing. In Germany, figures like Hildegard Von Bingen and Paracelsus remain renowned today. In 1542, Leonhart Fuchs published De Historia Stirpium, a comprehensive herbal reference book that became a standard in European medicine.
The effects of herbal medicines described in ancient texts have been tested using modern scientific methods. A prime example is Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), mentioned by both Dioscorides and Pliny the Elder, a Roman author and naturalist (23-79 CE). Scientific research and biochemical analysis have confirmed that Valerian contains phytochemicals effective for treating insomnia and anxiety. This validation of ancient knowledge sparked significant interest in scientific communities.
The effect of herbs on the skin was described in a similar fashion in the ancient texts. A thorough study of the available literature led to a combination of fourteen different herbs which now make up the Alex ‘herbs2peel’ compound. Each herb provides a distinct array of beneficial phytochemicals. For example, Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) contains 16% silica, a key mineral essential for the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the body. Pansy (Viola tricolor) is mentioned in an 800-year old German herbal text as the ‘herb for girls with blemished skin’. These are criteria that lead to the selection of the various herbs making up the final compound.
