Choosing the Right Chemical Peel for Your Skin
Chemical peels are a proven and effective way to improve the appearance and health of your skin. At DermaEnvy Skincare, we offer a range of chemical peels that are customized to your skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals. Whether you are looking to refresh dull skin, reduce signs of aging, manage acne, or improve texture and tone, our team can help determine the most suitable treatment for your needs.
This guide provides an overview of the different types of chemical peels we offer, the skin concerns they address, and how to choose the right option for you.
Understanding Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a solution of exfoliating acids to safely remove the outermost layer of dead and damaged skin. This process encourages new skin cell turnover, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Chemical peels can help treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
Acne and acne scars
Uneven skin tone and texture
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and pigmentation
Dull, dehydrated skin
At DermaEnvy Skincare, we offer two main types of peels: HydroPeptide Peels and Clinical Chemical Peels. Each is designed to address different levels of skin concern and sensitivity.
HydroPeptide Peels: Gentle and No Downtime
HydroPeptide Peels are ideal for clients seeking a gentle yet effective treatment with no downtime. These peels are formulated with a blend of fruit acids, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients. They are suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin, and are often recommended for first-time peel clients or those looking to maintain general skin health.
Best For:
Dull or dehydrated skin
Early signs of aging
Mild acne or congestion
Uneven tone and texture
Clients with sensitive or reactive skin
HydroPeptide Peel Options
Blueberry Peel (60 minutes)
Formulated with 2.5% lactic acid and 2.5% mandelic acid, this antioxidant-rich peel calms and renews the skin, making it a great choice for sensitive skin types.
Pumpkin Peel (60 minutes)
With 15% lactic acid, 8% glycolic acid, 7% fruit acids, and 0.5% salicylic acid, this peel works to clarify and exfoliate the skin while providing nourishment and calming benefits.
Vitamin C Peel (60 minutes)
This peel includes microdermabrasion crystals, 15% lactic acid, and 5% malic acid to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin while addressing sun damage and pigmentation.
Intensive Perfecting Peel (60 minutes)
Combining multiple acids and microdermabrasion crystals, this peel targets skin texture, dullness, sun damage, and mild scarring.
5X Power Peel (60 minutes)
A more intensive formula with 20% glycolic acid, 8% lactic acid, and 2% salicylic acid. This peel provides deeper resurfacing while maintaining minimal recovery time.
Clinical Peels: Targeted Solutions for Deeper Concerns
Clinical peels are designed for clients who require more intensive treatment. These peels work on a deeper level to address advanced concerns such as acne scarring, pigmentation, and signs of aging. Mild peeling or flaking is common following these treatments, with a typical recovery period of 7 to 10 days. These peels are fully customized by your skincare professional to meet your skin’s specific needs.
Best For:
Acne and acne scarring
Deep wrinkles and fine lines
Hyperpigmentation and melasma
Thickened or rough skin texture
Clients seeking noticeable, long-term results
Clinical Peel Options
Glycolic Acid Peel (30 minutes)
Contains 20% glycolic acid to stimulate collagen production and exfoliate the skin. Ideal for treating fine lines, scarring, and uneven skin tone.
Lactic Acid Peel (30 minutes)
With 20% lactic acid, this peel gently addresses pigmentation, dullness, and dehydration, making it a suitable option for clients with dry or sensitive skin.
Salicylic Acid Peel (30 minutes)
Contains 10% salicylic acid, which penetrates pores to reduce acne, clear congestion, and minimize the appearance of fine lines.
How to Choose the Right Chemical Peel
Choosing the right chemical peel depends on several factors including your skin type, specific concerns, and how much recovery time you are comfortable with. Below is a general guide to help you understand which peel may be best suited for your needs:
Sensitive or reactive skin: HydroPeptide® Blueberry Peel is a gentle, antioxidant-rich option ideal for calming and renewing sensitive skin.
Mild acne or dullness: HydroPeptide® Pumpkin Peel or Vitamin C Peel helps exfoliate and brighten while addressing mild breakouts and texture.
Sun damage or pigmentation: HydroPeptide® Vitamin C Peel or Lactic Acid Peel targets uneven tone and sun damage while encouraging a brighter complexion.
Fine lines and early signs of aging: HydroPeptide® 5X Power Peel or Glycolic Acid Peel promotes skin renewal and smooths fine lines.
Acne scarring and deeper wrinkles: Clinical Glycolic Acid Peel or Clinical Salicylic Acid Peel works more deeply to improve texture, scarring, and visible signs of aging.
