What Is a Sensitive Skin Peel?
A sensitive skin peel is a type of chemical peel built for delicate complexions. Instead of harsh acids, we use mandelic acid—a medium-strength AHA that exfoliates mildly. You’ll see improved tone and texture with minimal redness. It’s a treat for:
- Rosacea or redness-prone skin
- Noticeable pores
- Oily or acne-prone areas
- Mild hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
Each session takes about 30 minutes. You wash, we cleanse with a prep solution, then apply mandelic acid in one to three layers. A neutraliser finishes the job. That’s it. No harsh peeling, no major downtime.

Why Mandelic Acid Works for Sensitive Skin
Mandelic acid is unique. Its larger molecular structure slows penetration. The result? A gentle exfoliation that even the most sensitive skin can handle. You gain:
- Anti-inflammatory action that calms redness
- Antibacterial benefits to help mild acne
- Reduced sebum production for less shine
- Decreased pore size for a refined look
- Brighter complexion and more even pigment
It’s the perfect pick when you want a fast refresh before an event. No wonder it’s dubbed the “no-surprise” peel for sensitive skin.
Need more reasons? Here’s the quick pitch:
• Feels like a light tingle, not fire
• Fades ruddiness linked to rosacea
• Leaves skin balanced and hydrated
• Benefits stack with regular visits

Aftercare Tips for Lasting Results
Your skin might feel dry or tight after a sensitive skin peel. A little TLC goes a long way. Try:
- A rich, fragrance-free moisturiser
- Sunscreen SPF 15 or higher (daily)
- Gentle cleansers—skip scrubs or harsh ingredients
- Hydrating masks on alternate days
Keep your skin happy and hydrated. Book follow-up peels every two weeks for a series of three to six sessions. You’ll see cumulative benefits over time.
