How to use an acid peel

Apply the peel to clean, dry skin, avoid the eye area and follow the contact time on the label before rinsing. Start once a week and use it more often only if your skin feels comfortable. Afterwards, apply a moisturiser, and use sunscreen during the day. For gentler daily exfoliation, explore Enzyme Exfoliators or Acid Toners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an acid face peel do?

An acid face peel loosens the dull top layer of skin with acids such as AHA, BHA, PHA or LHA. With regular use, skin can feel smoother and look brighter and more even. Each peel has its own contact time and frequency, so always follow the label.

What is the difference between AHA, BHA, PHA and LHA?

AHA works on the skin's surface and is often chosen for a brighter look, BHA is oil-soluble and loved by skin with visible pores, PHA is the gentlest option, and LHA offers a soft exfoliation suited to sensitive skin. Many peels combine several acids.

How often can I use an acid peel?

Most acid peels are used once or twice a week. Gentle PHA gels can suit more regular use, while stronger blends are better for occasional use. Start slowly and reduce frequency if your skin feels dry or tight.

Can I use an acid peel on sensitive skin?

Gentle PHA and LHA formulas are usually the best starting point for sensitive skin. Try a new peel on a small area first, keep the contact time short and choose products that the label recommends for sensitive skin.
