Choose a light peel if you want glow with no visible downtime, a medium peel if you are working on sun spots or acne marks and can plan around a few days of peeling, and a targeted peel only after a full assessment for a specific concern.
How depth changes the result
Light peels loosen the very top layer of dead cells, so skin looks brighter within days. Medium peels reach a little further, which is why they can fade stubborn marks, and why they peel visibly. Targeted formulas are applied to specific concerns and need more preparation and recovery.
Side by side
| Depth | Good for | Visible peeling | Repeat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | Glow, mild texture | Rare | Every 4 weeks |
| Medium | Sun spots, marks, fine lines | 3 to 5 days | Every 2 to 3 months |
| Targeted | Specific concerns | About 7 days | As planned |
Deeper is not better. The right depth is the one your skin and schedule can handle.
Preparing your skin
For medium and targeted peels we often ask you to use a prep routine for two weeks beforehand. Stop retinoids a few days before any peel, avoid waxing the area, and come in without a sunburn. After a peel, let skin shed naturally and wear sunscreen every day.
