The Power of a Glycolic Peel: Smooth, Bright, Radiant Skin

When your skin starts to feel dull or uneven, a glycolic peel can help bring back that smooth, radiant glow. This professional resurfacing treatment gently dissolves dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, softer, and more even complexion — perfect for tackling fine lines, dark spots, and texture concerns.

What to Expect During a Glycolic Peel

Every peel begins with a skin analysis to ensure your skin is healthy and ready for exfoliation. After cleansing, the glycolic solution is applied for several minutes to encourage cell turnover. You may feel a light tingling or warmth — that’s normal and fades once the peel is neutralized.

The treatment finishes with soothing and hydrating products to calm and protect your skin barrier. Most clients notice an immediate glow and a smoother texture in the days that follow. Mild dryness or flaking can occur as your skin naturally renews itself.

How Often Should You Book a Glycolic Peel?

For best results, glycolic peels are typically performed every 2–4 weeks in a series of 4–6 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions a few times per year. Consistency helps your skin maintain a healthy renewal cycle and long-lasting brightness.

Why Skin Prep Matters

Prepping your skin before a peel makes all the difference. A proper home routine helps your skin respond evenly to glycolic acid, reducing the risk of irritation and enhancing results. By starting a prep routine two weeks before your first peel, you strengthen and balance your skin — setting the stage for success.

Pre-Care: Two Weeks Before Your Peel

Start using your recommended Tuel home care system two weeks prior to treatment.

Suggested Routine:

  • Tuel Cleansing Duo (cleanser + herbal toner for your skin type) – twice daily
  • Tuel AHA Moment (glycolic solution) – once daily in the evening
  • Tuel Hydrate Serum or Moisture Crème – to nourish and protect
  • Tuel Daily Protect SPF 30 – every morning

Avoid:

  • Retinols, retinoids, or exfoliating acids (for 5–7 days)
  • Waxing or hair removal in the treatment area
  • Direct sun exposure or tanning beds
