What is a Superficial Chemical Peel?
A superficial chemical peel is a gentle, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses mild acids to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin.
Think of it as: A deep exfoliation that reveals fresher, younger skin underneath – without the redness and peeling of deeper peels.
Common Acids Used:
| Acid Type | Best For | How It Works |
| Glycolic Acid | Dullness, fine lines, uneven texture | Smallest molecule, penetrates deeply for brightening |
| Lactic Acid | Dry skin, mild pigmentation | Also hydrates while exfoliating |
| Salicylic Acid | Acne-prone, oily skin | Oil-soluble, penetrates pores |
| Mandelic Acid | Sensitive skin, mild pigmentation | Larger molecule, gentler action |
| Jessner Peel | Combination concerns | Multi-acid blend for comprehensive results |
These chemical peels are applied to the skin, gently perforating the upper layer and making it smoother, brighter, and more even-toned.
