Chemical Peels for Acne
Whether acne manifests as active breakouts, blackheads, or post-acne marks, DermUtopia offers a Salicylic & Mandelic Acid Chemical Peel that’s both gentle and highly effective. This treatment takes about 15 minutes and can be added on to an appointment or scheduled on its own. This chemical peel is great for treating current acne flare ups and preventing new breakouts.
This professionally formulated peel combines two powerhouse ingredients to help clear acne at its source:
- Salicylic Acid: An oil-soluble acid that penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate, unclog, and calm inflammation. Ideal for blackheads, whiteheads, and oily skin.
- Mandelic Acid: A gentle, antibacterial exfoliant that works on the surface of the skin to fade dark spots, improve skin texture, and support acne-prone sensitive skin.
What Else Should I Know?
- Retinol products should be avoided for 5 days before and 5 days after this treatment.
- Excessive sun exposure should also be avoided one week before and one week after.
- During this procedure, you may feel some tingling and stinging. Most patients note that the pain level is a 1 or 2. We provide an electric fan and cool towels to alleviate these sensations.
- Flaking may occur for up to 5-7 days after the treatment. Avoid picking at any peeling.
- You can repeat this peel about once a month.
Safe for: Oily, combination, and sensitive skin types — even those new to chemical peels.
