Micro spicules found in Hydrolyzed sponges are a skincare rage today but they have been around for a long time. Their early use can be linked to traditional treatments for acne and pimples in Europe. Having a strong peeling and exfoliating action on the skin, spicules are a natural peeling ingredient that reach deep into the skin to remove sebum and stimulate cell turnover.
So how does this historic ingredient make its way into your modern day aesthetic or dermatology practice? Given the popularity of this super ingredient, there are multiple spicule peeling products available today. And it often competes with chemical peels given the latter’s ability to break the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. However chemical peels may not be suitable for everyone and can make the skin extremely sensitive. Spicules on the other hand, being a natural ingredient are comparatively gentler on the skin while delivering visible results.
RIBESKIN GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional
RIBESKIN’s GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional is a regenerative peeling kit with a 72 hour Recovery Mechanism that removes excess dead skin cells to clear clogged pores while the fine needles of spicules stimulate skin regeneration for 72 hours. But what makes GWANG PEEL better than other peeling products that contain Spongilla Spicules? Understanding the factors that distinguish a superior spicule will help you make a smart difference and level up your acne treatments. Let’s dive into those factors one by one.
1. Know the Origin of Spicules
Most conventional spicules are extracted from seawater sponges, whereas the spicules in GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional are extracted from freshwater sponges in Ukraine. The difference lies in the shape of the spicules which decides the skin penetration level of the peel. While seawater based spicules have an irregular shape, freshwater based spicules in GWANG PEEL are uniformly sized with a micro-needle shape which enables them to penetrate deep, thereby activating microcirculation in the skin.
2. Purity Levels of Spicules
GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional consists of 99% high purity hydrolyzed sponge. Conventional spicule based products consist of spicules anywhere from less than 10% to over 90%. The purer the concentration of spicules, the more effectively you can utilize the natural healing powers of this super ingredient.
3. Skin-friendly pH
Many conventional spicules have a pH level of 8-9 which is potentially irritating to the skin. Whereas the spicules in GWANG PEEL go through a rigid refinement and acidity control process, bringing its pH level to 6.5, which is closer to neutral pH, signaling less skin irritation. This skin-friendly pH level makes GWANG PEEL safe to use than conventional spicule based peels.
4. It’s All in the Technique
If you ever get a spicule peeling treatment at an aesthetic clinic, you will find that exfoliation is induced by rubbing the product across the face causing physical abrasions. While the product may aid in removal of dead skin cells, this rubbing action and physical stimulation is often harsh on the skin causing redness and sensitivity that lasts for a few days.
As a brand focused on patient centric innovation, RIBESKIN took note of this discomfort while developing GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional, and created a unique GWANG PEEL Technique that does not involve any physical stimulation during application. As opposed to the rubbing action with conventional spicule peeling, GWANG PEEL uses a gentle press to absorb method. This not only induces a deep absorption of the spicules but also causes minimal pain with almost no skin redness. Get a glimpse of the technique here.

A prickly sensation follows immediately, signaling that the spicules have begun their exfoliation action on the skin. This sensation is essentially the patient being aware about the Spicule’s existence and movement while skin regeneration occurs within their skin during the first 72 hours. Conventional peels on the other hand give minimal sensation of the spicule on the skin. This is because the spicules fall off and do not stay on the skin for long after the treatment.
The buck doesn’t stop there. Our inspiration to develop this formula was from the need to solve the dilemma of choosing between physical and chemical peels. GWANG PEEL 72 hr Professional combines the best of both physical and chemical peels wherein 99% high purity Spongilla Spicules combine with 0.5% BHA, IntoCell-EGF along with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory peptide solutions. The pack also includes a Cell Booster solution that boosts skin regeneration. The presence of various growth factors and peptides in this promote nourishment of acne scars and skin damages.
GWANG PEEL 72hr Professional is now shipping worldwide and available at both dermatology and aesthetic clinics.
