Chemical Peels: Which Peel Is Right for Your Skin?

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for improving skin clarity, acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture. By applying controlled exfoliating acids to the skin, chemical peels stimulate cellular turnover, collagen production, and skin renewal.

At Riviera Aesthetic, chemical peels are paired with targeted protocols using GlyMed Plus clinical skincare to enhance results and maintain long-term skin health.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels use exfoliating acids to remove layers of dead skin cells and stimulate fresh cell growth. This process helps correct common concerns including:

• Acne and clogged pores
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Fine lines and early signs of aging

Peels work by accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle, allowing healthier skin to emerge.

Salicylic Acid Peels

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into oily pores, dissolving excess sebum and clearing congestion.

Salicylic acid is particularly beneficial for:

• Acne-prone skin
• Oily skin
• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Congested pores

To support these treatments, clients are often prescribed GlyMed PlusPurifying Cleanser with Salicylic Acid, which contains 2% salicylic acid to help dissolve oil buildup, reduce bacteria, and prevent clogged pores while soothing the skin with aloe and green tea.

Jessner’s Peels

Jessner’s solution combines multiple exfoliating acids to target stubborn acne and pigmentation. The formula typically includes:

• Salicylic acid
• Lactic acid
• Resorcinol

This combination peel helps break down excess oil, stimulate cell turnover, and brighten uneven pigmentation.

After Jessner’s treatments, clients often use GlyMed Plus Gentle Facial Wash, which contains protein and amino acids and helps to improve skin renewal while keeping the skin balanced.

GlyMed Plus Support for Chemical Peel Results

Professional peels work best when paired with clinical skincare designed to enhance exfoliation and maintain clear pores.

Common GlyMed Plus recommendations include:

•Purifying Cleanser– salicylic acid to clear pores
•Gentle Facial Wash– glycolic acid to stimulate cell turnover
•Cell Science Ultra Hydro Gel– hyaluronic acid hydration for healing
•Restoring Fulvic Elixir– antioxidants and minerals that support skin repair

These ingredients help continue the exfoliation process safely between treatments while supporting the skin barrier.

How Often Should You Get Chemical Peels?

For most skin concerns, chemical peels are performed in a series of treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

Typical treatment plans include:

• 3–6 treatments for acne
• 3–4 treatments for pigmentation
• Maintenance peels every 6–8 weeks
