What is a chemical peel anyway?

A chemical peel is a professional treatment in which special acids - for example AHA (alpha hydroxy acids), BHA (beta hydroxy acids) or vitamin A - are used to gently remove dead skin cells. The result: a visibly smoother complexion, refined pores, reduced keratinisation and a fresh complexion.

In contrast to classic mechanical peels, chemical peels work where it really counts: deep within the skin structure. They stimulate cell renewal, clarify the complexion and restore your natural glow.

In contrast to conventional peels, chemical peels do not work mechanically, but biochemically. They specifically support your skin in renewing itself - without rubbing or irritation. Many of our peels are also self-neutralising and require no downtime. Depending on your skin type and treatment goal, different skin renewal peels may be suitable for you - get advice from one of our Circadia partners in your area!
