Who It is For?

Is a Salicylic Acid Peel Right for You?

This peel is ideal for those with acne-prone, oily, or congested skin, as well as individuals dealing with blackheads, post-acne marks, or dullness. Since it’s a superficial peel, it’s safe for most skin types. If you have a salicylate allergy or certain medical conditions, our dermatologists will assess your skin to ensure it’s the right treatment for you.
