Our professional peels

Green Herbal Peel: a botanical peel that renews skin through a natural, physical exfoliation. A strong choice for texture, congestion, dull tone and post-acne marks.

Gentle chemical peels for acne: inside the Acne Bootcamp, your esthetician adds gentle professional peels when your skin is ready, included in your program.

Before you book

This treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have taken isotretinoin in the past six months, have active cold sores, infection or open lesions, a recent sunburn or tan, or a tendency toward keloid scarring. Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids five to seven days before your visit, and tell us about any blood thinners or a history of cold sores. If you have had Botox, fillers, laser or other injections, please wait two weeks before your facial.

Green Herbal Peel aftercare

• Let the herbs keep working: do not wash your face for the rest of the day unless we tell you otherwise.
• Use only the home care we give you while you peel.
• Do not pick, pull or scrub off peeling skin. Let it shed on its own.
• Skip makeup during the peeling days.
• Avoid sun, tanning, saunas, steam rooms, swimming and heavy sweating until peeling is finished.
• No retinol or exfoliating acids for at least one week. Wear SPF 30 or higher every day once peeling is complete.

Pairing peels with other treatments

Peels work well alongside microneedling and acne facials in a planned series. For hormonal breakouts, see our hormonal acne guide.
