Overview

Our SkinCeuticals Micropeels—available in 15% and 30% glycolic acid strengths—are gentle yet effective chemical peels designed to refine skin texture, brighten dullness, and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion. The Micropeel 15 is ideal for first-time clients or those seeking a light refresh with minimal downtime, while the Micropeel 30 offers a deeper level of exfoliation for more advanced concerns such as fine lines, congestion, rough texture, and uneven tone. Both options provide controlled exfoliation to support cellular turnover and enhance the absorption and performance of your skincare products.
