How a salicylic peel works

Consult & prep

We review triggers, products and medications; gentle pre-care may improve outcomes.

Peel application

Oil-soluble BHA dissolves pore debris and smooths rough texture; strengths and passes are tailored.

Neutralise & protect

Soothe, hydrate and SPF. Expect clarity and refined feel; mild purging can occasionally occur.

Why choose salicylic?

Decongests pores

Dissolves sebum plugs to reduce blackheads and comedones.

Targets breakouts

Helps calm blemish-prone areas and supports a clearer look.

Post-acne marks

Courses can help fade PIH with careful cadence and SPF.

Custom strength

We set concentration/contact time to your skin and season.

What’s normal after a salicylic peel?

Mild redness or tightness is common; some clients experience light flaking for 1–2 days. Rarely, temporary purging can occur as pores clear.

Any downtime?

Minimal for most — avoid heat and strenuous exercise on the day; follow written aftercare and use daily SPF.

What should I avoid?

Pause retinoids, scrubs and waxing for ~5–7 days or as advised. Let us know about any prescription topicals.

What if I’m sensitive?

Mandelic or lactic peels can be gentler choices; we’ll confirm the best option in consultation.
