What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are like a refresh button for your skin. They use a carefully crafted solution of acids to exfoliate the outer layers, encouraging cell turnover and revealing that fresh, glowing complexion hiding underneath. Peels range in intensity - from gentle, skin-loving treatments to deeper, transformative options. This versatility means there’s a peel for nearly every skin type and concern, making them a favourite among those seeking noticeable results.
With the right chemical peel, you can target concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation - and even boost your skin’s overall radiance.
What makes chemical peels so transformative is their ability to deliver visible results without invasive procedures. Whether you’re just starting your skincare journey or looking for a more advanced treatment, there’s a peel that can meet your needs.

Choosing the Right Peel for Your Skin and Needs
No two skin types are exactly alike, and that’s the beauty of chemical peels - they can be customised to meet your unique needs. Here’s how you can match the right chemical peel to your skin’s needs.
Sensitive or redness-prone skin:
If your skin tends to be reactive, a gentle peel like the Sensitive PHA Peel can work wonders. Designed to smooth texture while promoting a stronger skin barrier, it’s perfect for those who need a little extra TLC. The hydrating properties of PHAs ensure your skin feels cared for, not stripped.
Chemical peels for oily skin or blemishes
A clarifying peel, such as the Clarity Peel, is ideal for bringing blemishes under control and preventing future breakouts. These peels are designed to decongest the skin while calming inflammation. With regular use, you’ll notice fewer breakouts and a clearer, healthier complexion.
Best chemical peels for dry or dull skin
For those struggling with lacklustre skin, the Total Skin Reset Peel is a standout. Its multi-action approach combines exfoliation and hydration to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion in under an hour. This peel is a favourite for reviving tired skin and leaving you with a youthful glow.
Using chemical peels on mature skin
If fine lines and loss of elasticity are your main concerns, a collagen-boosting peel like the Rewind Peel is the way to go. It targets visible signs of ageing, leaving your skin looking plumper and more youthful. The gentle exfoliation also ensures that your skin absorbs other anti-ageing treatments more effectively.
Chemical peels for hyperpigmentation
Brightening peels, such as the Even Peel, are specifically formulated to tackle uneven skin tone and sun damage. They help minimise melanin production and fade dark spots for a more radiant complexion. Consistency is key - with regular treatments, you’ll see noticeable improvements in skin tone.
Fastest chemical peels
If you’re seeking a refresh with no downtime, the Epionce Lite Refresh Peel is an excellent choice. This treatment improves texture, reduces congestion, and brightens the skin with minimal disruption to your routine. It’s a great option for monthly maintenance or a quick boost before a big event, making it a go-to for those with packed schedules.
Best chemical peels for all skin types
If you’re new to peels or just looking for an all-rounder, the Universal AHA Peel is a safe and effective choice. It brightens, smooths, and revitalises without overwhelming the skin. Perfect for regular maintenance and first-time users alike, this peel strikes a balance between effectiveness and gentleness, ensuring that your skin feels refreshed and cared for after every treatment.

Some treatments, like the Single Acid Peels or the Epionce Corrective Peel, can even be tailored by a professional to address your specific needs. By layering acids and targeting multiple concerns, your skincare expert can create a truly transformative and personalised experience.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care
To make the most of your chemical peel, preparation and aftercare are key:
Before your peel: Avoid exfoliants, retinol, and sun exposure for at least a week to keep your skin calm and ready. Hydrating your skin beforehand can also help maximise results.
After your peel: Be diligent with sunscreen, moisturise generously, and follow any specific advice from your skincare professional. Avoid harsh products or active ingredients until your skin has fully healed. Your skin will thank you for the extra love and care!
