Anti-Acne Peel
A professional chemical peel for oily and acne-prone skin, to unclog pores, calm breakouts and smooth the skin’s texture.
£220 per session
Overview
Clearer, calmer skin
This peel combines salicylic acid (20%), which works inside the pores to clear excess oil and dead skin, with lactic and glycolic acids that exfoliate the surface gently.
It helps reduce breakouts, blackheads and congestion, and over a course of treatments can soften the look of marks and mild scarring left by acne. We often recommend it as part of a wider plan with home skincare.
What it can help with
- Active breakouts and congestion
- Blackheads and enlarged-looking pores
- Oily, shiny skin
- Marks and mild scarring after acne

Before you book
Please let us know if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have taken isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the last 6 months
- You get cold sores, or have broken or sunburnt skin
- You use retinoids or exfoliating acids (stop 5 to 7 days before)
- You have had waxing, laser or another peel on the area recently
Aftercare
After your treatment
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or above every day
- Don’t pick or pull at flaking skin; let it shed naturally
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only
- Avoid retinoids, scrubs and acids for about a week
- Avoid saunas, hot baths and intense exercise for 48 hours
Possible side effects
Redness, tightness, a warm or stinging feeling and flaking are normal and usually settle within a week. Stronger peels can cause some swelling.
Less commonly, a peel can cause irritation, an allergic reaction, cold sore flare-ups or changes in skin colour, which is why sun protection matters. Contact us if you have blistering, severe pain or signs of infection.
FAQs
Your questions answered
How many sessions will I need?
Some people notice a difference after one session. A course of 3 to 6 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart, usually gives the best results.
Can I have it if I’m on acne medication?
Some acne medicines, especially isotretinoin, mean a peel isn’t safe yet. Tell us about any medication at consultation.
