Acne Peel: A Targeted Solution


Acne Peels are professional chemical exfoliation treatments tailored to acne-prone skin. These peels utilise a combination of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and mandelic acid, each carefully selected to address specific concerns:

  1. Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deeply into the pores, dissolving oil buildup and unclogging blockages.

  2. Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates dead skin cells, stimulates collagen production, and improves skin texture.

  3. Mandelic Acid: A gentle AHA suitable for sensitive skin, helping to reduce inflammation and redness while promoting cellular turnover.


These treatments effectively reduce active acne, minimise scars, and enhance overall skin clarity and smoothness.
