Mandelic Acid Peel
Get your skin glowing!
💎 What is a Mandelic Acid Peel?
The Mandelic Acid Peel is a gentle, yet effective AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) peel derived from bitter almonds.
It’s known for its larger molecular structure, making it one of the safest and most tolerated peels — even for sensitive or darker skin types.
This peel works to refine texture, balance oil, and brighten dull complexions, all with minimal to no downtime.
✨ How It Works
The Mandelic Acid Peel gently exfoliates the outermost layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and fresh, radiant skin renewal. It targets both surface and deeper concerns without irritation, helping to:
Diminish pigmentation and uneven tone
Unclog pores and control excess oil
Smooth rough or bumpy skin texture
Minimise fine lines and early signs of ageing
Calm acne-prone or inflamed skin
📍 Common Treatment Areas
Face
Neck and décolletage
Back or shoulders (for acne-prone skin)
Hands
⚖️ Who Is It For?
Perfect for clients who want a fresh glow without harsh peeling or long recovery.
Ideal for those with:
Congested or acne-prone skin
Uneven tone, pigmentation, or dullness
Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin
Early ageing concerns
❌ Not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if using strong retinoids or undergoing isotretinoin treatment.
⏱ How Many Sessions Will I Need?
You’ll notice smoother, more luminous skin after one session, but for lasting results, we recommend a course of 4–6 peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Maintenance treatments every 6–8 weeks help preserve brightness and clarity.
⌛ When Will I See Results?
Most clients see a visible glow within a few days, as the skin becomes clearer and more refined.
Continued improvement follows over the next 1–2 weeks as new, healthy skin cells surface.
💪 Are the Results Permanent?
Results are not permanent, as the skin naturally regenerates.
However, regular peels and proper home care will keep the complexion consistently smooth, even, and radiant.
💆♀️ Side Effects & Aftercare
Downtime is minimal — mild redness, dryness, or light flaking may occur for 1–3 days.
💧 Aftercare tips:
Avoid active skincare (retinol, exfoliants, vitamin C) for 3–5 days
Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser
Avoid sun exposure and heat for 48 hours
Apply SPF 50+ daily — this is essential for maintaining results
💬 Additional Notes
Mandelic acid is known for its antibacterial properties, making it excellent for breakout-prone skin
Can be combined with HydraFacial, or Microneedling for enhanced results
A great “starter peel” for clients new to chemical exfoliation
