WHAT IS A KOREAN CHEMICAL PEEL?
A Korean Chemical Peel is a gentle yet effective skin resurfacing treatment designed to exfoliate dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and enhance hydration and brightness. Unlike traditional chemical peels that can cause intense peeling and downtime, Korean peels use milder, skin-nourishing ingredients that deliver radiant, glowing skin with minimal irritation.
How Does a Korean Chemical Peel Work?
Korean peels use a blend of natural acids, botanical extracts, and hydrating ingredients to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells while boosting collagen production and promoting skin renewal. These peels focus on hydration, anti-aging, and brightening, making them ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
What types are available?
💧 Hydrating Peels – Infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to deeply moisturize.
✨ Brightening Peels – Formulated with niacinamide, vitamin C, and licorice extract to reduce dark spots.
🌿 Acne-Control Peels – Contain mandelic acid, lactic acid, and BHA to help unclog pores and control breakouts.
🧴 Anti-Aging Peels – Boost collagen production using mild retinol, peptides, and growth factors.
Are chemical peels safe?
Yes! Korean peels are gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, oily, and acne-prone skin. They are formulated to nourish and repair rather than aggressively strip the skin.
How long does a Korean chemical peel take?
A typical session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, making it a perfect lunch-break treatment!
How is it different than traditional peels?
Unlike traditional chemical peels that cause visible peeling and require recovery time, Korean peels are hydrating and mild, providing glowing, refreshed skin with little to no downtime. They work by gently exfoliating and boosting hydration, making them suitable for sensitive and all skin types.
When will I see results?
Many people notice brighter, smoother skin immediately after one session, with optimal results appearing after a series of treatments.
How often should I get these?
For best results:
-
Mild peels: Every 2–4 weeks
-
Stronger peels: Every 4–6 weeks
Your skincare professional will determine the best schedule for your skin type.
Is there any downtime?
No significant downtime! Unlike traditional chemical peels, most Korean peels cause little to no peeling. You may experience mild redness or slight sensitivity for a few hours, but you can return to daily activities immediately.
