Is your skin fighting you?
You cleanse. You moisturize. You test every product that Sephora advises.
There are still outbreaks. Blackheads. That greasy gleam by midday.
You are not alone, and this is not your fault.
Acne is not a hygiene problem. This is a biological problem. Excess oil production, blocked pores, and irritation form a vicious cycle that topical treatments alone cannot disrupt.
Salicylic acid peels interrupt the cycle right where it begins.

What is a Salicylic Acid Peeling?
Salicylic acid peels are a type of specific chemical peel solution. They are used in a salicylic acid that helps in skin exfoliation. Salicylic acid is a BHA that is known as beta hydroxy. This acid has many properties that make it beneficial for the skin:
How does it work?
| Comedolytic: | Salicylic Acid is comedolytic that means that it helps to break down the cells of dead skin. It removes the oil that has blocked the skin open pores. This results in acne and breakouts. |
| Desmolytic | Salicylic acid is also a desmolytic that loosens the main connections between skin cells. This allows shedding of dead skin more easily. |
| Anti-inflammatory: | Salicylic acid also plays a vital role as an anti-inflammatory concern. This help reduce inflammation in the skin. |

Benefits of Salicylic Acid Peeling:
Some of the popular and major benefits are:
1. It Works Where Acne Starts:
Most treatments sit on the surface. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pore—where acne actually begins.
2. Immediate Results, Cumulative Improvement:
After one session, your skin looks brighter and feels smoother. After a full course, your skin is transformed.
3. Minimal Downtime:
Unlike deeper peels that require a week of hiding, salicylic acid peels are “lunchtime procedures.” A little redness, some flaking—but no social isolation.
4. Safe for All Skin Types:
When performed correctly by an experienced dermatologist, salicylic acid peels are safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I-V. We adjust concentration and timing to your specific tolerance.
5. Treats Multiple Concerns:
Acne. Oil. Texture. Tone. One peel addresses multiple issues simultaneously.
6. Prevents Future Breakouts:
By keeping pores clear and regulating oil production, regular peels prevent acne before it starts.
7. Affordable Excellence:
Compared to lasers and other technologies, chemical peels offer exceptional value for the results they deliver.
How to Prepare the Skin Before the Treatment?
The specialist undergoes many consultations with the candidate and checks his past medical records. The specialist advises the candidate. The preparation for the treatment is described as follows:
- A pre-consultation is very important. This is crucial for the candidate. Discuss your medical history with the dermatologist at least a week before.
- Minimise sun exposure for at least a week before your treatment. This can make your skin more sensitive
- Use a high SPF sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
- Do not use certain skincare products containing retinol, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products.
- Abstain from skin bleach or waxing right before the treatment.
How is Salicylic Acid Peeling performed?
During a procedure, you can expect the following:
- Cleansing: The specialist thoroughly cleanses the treatment area and removes makeup.
- Protection: Furthermore, an ointment is applied around the lips and nose area to make a shield for these delicate areas from the peels.
- Peel Application: In the next step, the salicylic acid solution is applied to the skin. The specialist uses a cotton pad or sponge.
- Possible Discomfort: The candidate may experience a little tingling sensation. But it goes away after sometime.
- Neutralisation: The solution is kept on the face for 3-5 minutes. After that, it is neutralised with water to stop it making any further action.
After-Care:
After the treatment is performed, many specific after care instructions should be followed to multiply the result to hundred. Some of the instructions are as follows:
- The skin may get red and irritated.
- Use the prescribed moisturisers and creams as told by your dermatologist.
- Keep your skin hydrated.
- Do not pick or rub the treated area.
- Use cold compresses for a few minutes that will help reduce swelling.
