Looking for a powerful anti-ageing chemical peel that can help improve the appearance of wrinkles, discolouration and breakouts? Look no further than Bravura London! This high-purity glycolic acid exfoliator is infused with Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Lavender oil to provide your skin with everything it needs to look and feel its best.
The active ingredients in our chemical peel work together to soothe and nourish the skin, while also providing potent anti-ageing benefits. Glycolic acid helps to slough away dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more youthful skin underneath. Vitamin E nourishes the skin, while Aloe Vera, Vitamin B5 and Lavender oil work to calm and soothe.
Glycolic Acid is said to be one of the most powerful and effective alpha hydroxy acids and is a luxurious alternative to harsh scrubs or peel off face masks. It has the ability to increase cell turnover which leaves the skin brighter and with a healthy glow. Regular use of glycolic acid can diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and discolouration—revealing a brighter and more youthful-looking complexion.
Glycolic Acid Peel is a scientifically proven ingredient in skincare and suitable for most skin types. It's water soluble and can help to improve the appearance of the following skin complaints
Breakouts & Blackheads
Sun damaged skin
Enlarged Pores
Fine lines & wrinkles
Discolouration
Dry skin
Keratosis Pilaris
Age Spots
Dull, lackluster skin
If you have sensitive skin, please take a look at our lactic acid which is a gentler alternative to glycolic acid.

What is Glycolic Acid Peel ?
Also known as the ‘Lunchtime Peel’, chemical peels are perfect for those with busy schedules who still want to maintain their skin’s health and vitality.
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha hydroxy acid or AHA that works to increase cell turnover - something that slows down as we age. The dead skin on our face and body is held on by a glue-like substance, but glycolic acid helps to dissolve this glue which then causes the dead skin to simply fall off. This process reveals the new, younger skin underneath and gives you an instantly radiant complexion.
How Does It Work ?
How is this good for spots, blackheads and enlarged pores? The most common reason we get breakouts is when hair follicles get clogged by dead skin cells and sebum - the oil your skin naturally produces. Bacteria multiply within the clogged pores and so spots and blackheads form. By removing the dead skin cells you are also removing the grime and excess oil that's blocking up the pores and exposing fresh, healthy skin.
Most people report that with regular use of AHA products, their once very oily skin becomes more balanced, the less oil your skin produces, the less oil there is to get trapped.
Glycolic acid will also help to reduce the appearance of blemishes and discolouration left over from breakouts.
If you suffer with deep blackheads, use the glycolic acid in conjunction with our Salicylic Acid 2%.
If you have acne- Acne is a medical condition, while a good skincare routine is important and can help improve the condition of your skin, acne often requires medical treatment, a good skincare routine is important for acne prone skin and will support your treatment but will not treat acne.
FAQ
