Overview
The official website for Mene and Moy tells us that they are chemical peels which should only be carried out by trained nurses and physicians. The official website also tells us that the Mene and Moy professional chemical peels should not be confused with the mild and gentle glycolic peels which are often performed in unlicensed beauty salons.
Product Details
The official website for the Mene and Moy chemical peels is extremely detailed. However these peels seem to have a large presence in the United Kingdom and in Ireland. The official website gives details of clinics in the United Kingdom and Ireland where you can access the Mene and Moy peels. Information about these peels in the US seems to be rather sparse. The official website tells us that the price of a Mene and Moy Chemical peel in a designated clinic costs between £70 to £100. We are told that depending on the peel the ingredients in the Mene and Moy chemical peels can include Glycolic Acid, Azelaic, Kojic, and Retinoicacids. We are further told that the Mene and Moy chemical peels can be used to diminish lines and wrinkles on the face, and that they can also be used to treat conditions such as acne and rosacea. Of course chemical peels are not suitable for everyone and certainly not for people who have sensitive skin. Certain chemical peels can also increase sensitivity to UV rays and so if you do decide to have a chemical peel you should ensure that your skin is well protected from the sun afterwards. Chemical peels such as those in the Mene and Moy range that contain derivatives of Vitamin A such as Retinoiacids may not always be suitable for those who are pregnant or who have a liver disorder.

The Bottom Line
A number of chemical peels have a large number of warnings associated with use, and a number of women now prefer to use an anti-aging cream with peptides that have no associated warnings and no adverse effects. A powerful anti-aging peptide combination is the anti-aging ingredient Matrixyl 3000, which is found in many higher end topical wrinkle fighters.
