What it is
We hold five Korean peels, each formulated around a different active complex, and Dr Inna selects between them rather than offering them as a menu. Pink Peel is a lifting and rejuvenation peel built around phytoestrogens from kudzu root with milk peptides, collagen and elastin. Yes Peel is a recovery peel for sensitive and reactive skin, combining shea butter lacto vinegar, postbiotics and exosomes to exfoliate gently while restoring the barrier and microbiome. Pumpkin Peel uses natural pro retinol from pumpkin alongside fermented enzymes, salicylic acid and a nutrient complex of phytosterols, omega fatty acids and minerals. De Mela Peel targets pigmentation with tranexamic acid, three forms of vitamin C, arbutin and a blend of AHA, BHA and PHA acids. Black Peel is built around black acetic acid, potassium iodide, salicylic acid and bio sulfur with black exosomes, and is comedolytic and keratolytic, formulated principally for congested and acne prone skin.
Who it is for
Suitable across a wide range of concerns because the formulation is matched to the skin rather than the other way round. Yes Peel suits sensitive and reactive skin specifically. Not suitable if you have an open wound, an active infection or a cold sore in the area, in which case we will rebook you.
What to expect
Stop retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and other exfoliating products forty eight hours beforehand, do not shave or wax the area for twenty four hours, and avoid tanning beds and self tan for two weeks. Tell us about any cold sore history. Afterwards the skin may flush, tighten and then flake, to a degree that depends on which peel was used. Do not pick or scratch for ten to fourteen days. Avoid vitamin A and acid products for seven days or until any flaking has finished.
Results
Skin looks clearer and more even once any flaking has finished, usually within the first week. Because each formulation works differently, what improves depends on which was chosen: lift and firmness from Pink, barrier recovery from Yes, congestion and texture from Pumpkin and Black, pigmentation from De Mela.
