Exfoliants + Peels

Exfoliants+ Peels

Exfoliation is the step with the most room to go wrong in either direction. Too little and skin looks dull and flat however good the rest of your routine is. Too much and you get the tight, shiny, slightly sore look of a barrier that's been pushed too hard. The aim is regular and gentle, not occasional and aggressive.

Exfoliants + Peels

Hydra-Bright Pro 5 and Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant are the leave-on acid options, the first aimed at dullness and uneven tone and the second at congestion. Brightening Polish, Hydra-Bright Polishing Cleanser and Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub exfoliate physically or with enzymes, which suits skin that doesn't get on with acids. The at-home peel kits, GlyPro AHA Resurfacing, Hydra-Bright AHA Glow, Beta-Clarity AHA Clarifying and Retinol + C Smoothing, are a stronger occasional treatment designed for home use, and they are not the same as a professional peel performed in clinic.

Where to start

One exfoliating step, two or three times a week, is enough for most people. If your skin is reactive, begin with an enzyme rather than an acid.

Exfoliants and at-home peel kits, curated by the clinicians at The London Road Clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, cover acid, enzyme and physical options plus four at-home kits, so you can keep skin clear between appointments without cutting across a course of in-clinic treatment.

Frequently asked

How soon can I exfoliate after an in-clinic peel?

Not straight away. Your skin has already been exfoliated, and adding more on top is how people end up irritated. Wait until it has fully settled and your practitioner has said you're clear. Our chemical peel aftercare guide sets out the sequence.

Is an at-home peel kit the same as a peel in clinic?

No. The kits here are formulated for home use and are milder than what we perform in the treatment room, where strength, timing and neutralisation are controlled by a practitioner. They're a way to keep results going between appointments, not a substitute for the appointment.

Acid, enzyme or scrub: which should I choose?

Acids give the most even result and suit most skin once it's used to them. Enzymes are gentler and a better starting point for reactive skin. A polish or scrub gives an immediate smoothness and suits skin that dislikes acids. Pick one and stick with it rather than rotating all three.
