Acid peels can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. One of the most common types of acid peels is the 30ml acid peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn acid peel 30ml is a type of chemical peel that contains a 10% concentration of acid. The acid used in this type of peel can vary, but some of the most commonly used acids include glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. These acids work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed from the surface of the skin. This process of exfoliation can help to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin and can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the benefits of a 30ml acid peel is that it can be customised to suit the individual. For example, a 30ml glycolic acid peel may be recommended for people with mild to moderate acne, while a 30ml salicylic acid peel may be more appropriate for people with oily skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn acid peel 30ml is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and treat a wide range of skin concerns.

While facial scrubs have been a popular form of exfoliation for many years, there is now a growing recognition that chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic acid, are a more effective and gentle alternative.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eFacial scrubs typically use physical abrasion, such as ground-up nuts, sugar or salt crystals to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. While this can be effective in the short term, over time it can lead to micro-tears in the skin, which can cause inflammation, irritation, and even infection. This is especially true for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eIn contrast, glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily sloughed off. This means that it penetrates deeper into the skin than a facial scrub can, targeting not just the surface layer but also the deeper layers of the epidermis. This results in a more thorough exfoliation and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, breakouts, blemishes and hyperpigmentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eAnother advantage of glycolic acid is that it is gentle enough to be used on most skin types.

We know how frustrating it can be to deal with spots. It’s not just about looking good but also feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.
These powerful salicylic acid chemical exfoliators can help improve the appearance of a range of skin complaints, including tone, texture, and clarity. Our easy-to-use formula makes it simple to achieve beautiful, healthy skin in the comfort of your own home.
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that helps to unblock pores, clear out dead skin cells, and reduce the appearance of blemishes. With regular use, you'll see brighter, more even-toned skin that's free of breakouts. Suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin types!
Our unique formula contains Aloe Vera and Glycerine, which can help to soothe the skin and reduce irritation or dryness.
NEW FORMULA - This is a new formula launched in January 2022, if you have not tried this new formula yet, please perform a patch test first and gradually introduce to your skin by leaving on for 5 minutes and building up. As this product contains aloe vera, it is no longer clear and is slightly cloudy, this is normal. Find out more about our new formula HERE.
This oil-soluble formula penetrates deep into pores, clearing out dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria and excess oils that can cause blockages. Over time, the appearance of breakouts, surface redness and enlarged pores are reduced and your skin's natural oil production is normalised.
So say goodbye to blackheads and hello to clear, smooth skin!
Salicylic acid can reduce the appearance of
Breakouts
Red, hard spots
Blackheads & whiteheads (open and closed comedones)
Enlarged, blocked pores
Over production of sebum (oily skin)
Bumps under the skin (trapped oil)
Surface Redness
We don't recommend our salicylic acid chemical peel if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, please see our Dermaflannel as a suitable alternative.
How Does It Work?
Salicylic Acid is much stronger than other acids, and therefore it is highly effective in lower percentage solutions.
This powerful product is designed to work within the pores, helping to reduce the appearance of breakouts, blackheads, enlarged pores and whiteheads. The combination of salicylic acid and aloe vera can soothe the appearance of red, angry looking breakouts that typically appear on the jawline or cheeks.
FAQ
What Is Salicylic Acid Peel ?
Salicylic Acid is the key ingredient for restoring purity and clarity to the skin. It is a highly effective chemical exfoliant and an excellent pore cleanser. It works by gently removing old cells from the skin, and may also help to boost collagen production.
Because salicylic acid has a larger molecular structure to Glycolic Acid it stays on the surface of the skin longer giving it fantastic pore clearing capabilities.
If you have surface discolouration from breakouts or sun damage, our salicylic acid works amazingly well in conjunction with our glycolic acid which can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
How is this good for spots ?
Spots usually occur as hair follicles get clogged by the oil your skin naturally produces. Normally the sebum (natural oil in skin) travels up the hair follicle and out to the surface of the skin. However, when skin cell turnover is slowed, sebum can get trapped within the follicle, bacteria multiply within the clogged pores and so a spot is formed. Using this product regularly helps by removing the old skin cells and the grime that's blocking up pores so stops the spot cycle.
If you have acne- Acne is a medical condition, while salicylic acid is an amazing, well known spot treatment acne often requires prescribed medical treatment. A good, daily skincare routine is important for skin health and skincare products will support your acne treatments but will not treat acne.
How does it reduce blackheads?
Looking to shrink your pores and banish blackheads? This oil soluble formula goes straight to the source of the problem, clearing out blockages and shrinking pores with each use. This powerful formula also exfoliates to help remove the top layer of dead skin, unblocking pores and regulating oil production.
Are there any side effects?
There is a possibility that you may notice some light flaking or dry patches when you first use the salicylic acid. You may experience some redness but this will fade within a few hours. You skin may also feel slightly itchy while peel treatments are applied to the skin, this is perfectly normal as it's part of the regeneration process as salicylic acid does exfoliate the skin. This product is not designed to physically peel the skin.
Note: If you're worried about having sensitive skin then you may find that you can still use this product, but do conduct a patch test first. If you are pregnant/breastfeeding, allergic to asprin or are worried that this may not be suitable for you then take a look at our Dermaflannel or one of our Alpha Hydroxy Acid AHA's such as glycolic acid or lactic acid which give very similar results. If you are on medication, consult your doctor before use.
