Glycolic Chemical Peel (25%)

$42.00

Advanced Exfoliation for Skin Types III–VI

A professional-strength glycolic acid peel designed to visibly improve skin texture, tone, and resilience. Best suited for Fitzpatrick skin types III–VI, this peel targets fine lines, uneven tone, dullness, age spots, and acne scarring through deep exfoliation and accelerated skin renewal.

With its smaller molecular size, glycolic acid penetrates more deeply than other AHAs, making it ideal for experienced acid users seeking more intensive resurfacing and rejuvenation.

Key Benefits

Helps refine skin texture and smooth fine lines
Improves the appearance of uneven tone and age spots
Supports collagen pathways for firmer-looking skin
Enhances skin density and resilience with consistent use
Promotes brighter, more radiant-looking skin
Targets acne scars and surface discoloration

Why Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is a powerful alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. Due to its small molecular size, it penetrates the skin more effectively, delivering deeper exfoliation than lactic acid.

What makes it effective:

Strong exfoliating action
Encourages cell turnover and skin renewal
Helps improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin
Supports collagen stimulation over time

Because of its strength, glycolic acid is best suited for those already familiar with acid exfoliation.

Who It’s For

Fitzpatrick skin types III–VI
Experienced acid users
Sun-damaged or photo-aged skin
Uneven tone, texture, or visible discoloration
Acne scarring or post-inflammatory marks
Skin that has plateaued with gentler acids

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 25% glycolic acid peel do for the skin?

A 25% glycolic acid peel delivers deep surface exfoliation to improve texture, refine fine lines, reduce discoloration, and promote brighter, more even-looking skin. Its small molecular size allows for more effective penetration, accelerating cell turnover and supporting collagen pathways over time.

Is glycolic acid stronger than lactic acid?

Yes. Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size than lactic acid, allowing it to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This results in stronger exfoliation and more intensive resurfacing. It is best suited for experienced acid users and skin that has plateaued with gentler exfoliants.

Will my skin visibly peel after using this?

Visible peeling is not required for results. Some users may experience mild flaking or dryness, while others may see little to no visible peeling. Skin renewal occurs at the cellular level through controlled exfoliation, improving tone and clarity even without dramatic shedding.

Who should use a 25% glycolic acid peel?

This professional-strength peel is ideal for Fitzpatrick skin types III–VI, experienced exfoliation users, and those concerned with sun damage, uneven tone, acne scarring, or early-to-advanced signs of aging. It is not recommended for highly reactive or compromised skin.

How often should I use this glycolic acid peel?

Use 1–2 times per week depending on skin tolerance. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and allow the skin barrier to fully recover before reintroducing exfoliation. Overuse can compromise barrier function.

Does glycolic acid help with acne scars and dark spots?

Yes. Glycolic acid helps improve the appearance of acne scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun spots by accelerating surface renewal and encouraging more even skin tone over time.

What should I apply after a glycolic peel?

Immediately after rinsing, apply a calming serum, a lipid-rich moisturizer, and a physical sunscreen containing zinc oxide during the day. Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 7 days following treatment, as glycolic acid increases photosensitivity.

Why choose glycolic over lactic?

Choose glycolic acid if you want: ✔ Deeper resurfacing ✔ Stronger exfoliation ✔ More visible textural refinement ✔ Support for sun-damaged or photo-aged skin Choose lactic acid if you want: ✔ Gentler exfoliation ✔ More hydration support ✔ Better tolerance for sensitive or dry skin
