Mandelic Acid Peels
Mandelic acid peels are superficial alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels, useful for treating a dull, lifeless complexion, uneven skin tone and texture, mild pigmentation and ageing changes. It is particularly suited to those with sensitive skin as mandelic acid is gentler and causes less irritation than glycolic acid. This makes it a popular chemical peel for rosacea-prone skin and those with redness or reactivity issues.
This gentle chemical peel is derived from bitter almonds and is an excellent option for skin brightening, anti-ageing, and mandelic acid exfoliation. Ideal for those seeking a chemical peel in London, this treatment is offered at our renowned Harley Street skin clinic.
For Darker complexions
Mandelic acid is one of the few ingredients recommended for those with darker complexions, who might experience hyperpigmentation from similar ingredients such as hydroquinone. Because mandelic acid is absorbed at a slower rate than many other ingredients, it does not disrupt the melanin in the skin.
From acne to hyperpigmentation to wrinkles, this new skin care helps to bring clarity and balance while causing virtually no irritation.
Mandelic acid is also recommended as a pre- and post-laser treatment, reducing the amount and length of irritation caused by laser resurfacing.
This mandelic acid peel treatment is often used as a starting point for individuals new to chemical peels, or for those requiring a lighter touch. It works well on acne-prone skin, reduces clogged pores, and improves overall tone.
For optimal results, a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and goals.

How it works
Mandelic acid works by breaking up the bond between skin cells, leading to an increased rate of cellular turnover. This is beneficial because it purges the skin of dead skin cells, which can lead to wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne, among other conditions. The treatment is ideal for the following conditions:
- Acne & Oily Skin
- Anti Ageing
- Pigmentation
- Rosacea
