How Radiance Renewal Peel (Glycolic 25%) Works
What is a Glycolic Peel?
A Glycolic Peel is a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) chemical peel that uses glycolic acid derived from sugar cane to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Because glycolic acid has one of the smallest molecular sizes among AHAs, it penetrates the skin effectively to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. The treatment accelerates natural skin renewal, encouraging fresh, healthy skin cells to replace damaged surface cells. This process helps reduce dullness, fine lines, pigmentation, acne marks, and uneven skin texture while improving hydration and product absorption. Our 25% Glycolic Peel is ideal for clients seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Have Questions?
Don't worry — we've got you covered.
What does a Glycolic Peel do?
A Glycolic Peel exfoliates dead skin cells, stimulates skin renewal, improves texture, brightens dull skin, reduces fine lines, and helps fade acne marks and pigmentation.
Is a Glycolic Peel good for acne scars?
Yes. Glycolic acid helps improve superficial acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation by accelerating skin cell turnover and encouraging healthier skin regeneration.
How often should I get a Glycolic Peel?
Most clients benefit from treatments every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their skin type and treatment goals.
Does a Glycolic Peel hurt?
Most clients experience a mild tingling or warm sensation during treatment, which is temporary and well tolerated.
How long does peeling last?
Some clients experience little to no visible peeling, while others may notice light flaking for 2 to 5 days after treatment.
Can I wear makeup after a Glycolic Peel?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover.
Is a Glycolic Peel safe for sensitive skin?
A consultation is recommended to determine suitability. Sensitive skin may require a different peel or modified treatment protocol.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients notice brighter and smoother skin within a few days, with continued improvements over the following weeks.
Can a Glycolic Peel reduce wrinkles?
Yes. Regular glycolic peel treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, helping soften the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles.
Why choose a professional Glycolic Peel instead of at-home products?
Professional treatments use medical-grade formulations applied by trained skincare professionals, allowing for deeper exfoliation, safer application, and more effective results than over-the-counter products.
