What is the Salicylic Acid Peel?

The Salicylic Peel is a dermatologist-recommended chemical exfoliation treatment designed to target acne, excess oil, congestion, and blemishes, especially for oily or acne-prone skin types. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its oil-soluble properties, which allow it to penetrate deep into the pores, dissolve excess sebum, and remove dead skin cells from within. This makes it one of the most effective chemical peels for acne, blackheads, and oily skin, with visible improvements in clarity, tone, and texture.

At The Skin Firm, our salicylic acid peel treatments in Pune are customised based on your skin’s condition, ensuring safe, gradual, and clinically effective exfoliation with minimal irritation.

---------- Process ----------

Process of Salicylic Acid Peel

Skin Cleansing & Prep

We begin with a gentle cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, and surface oil, followed by prepping the skin with a degreasing solution for optimal peel penetration.

Application of Salicylic Peel

A medically formulated salicylic acid solution is applied carefully across the treatment area. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth during this step.

Controlled Penetration & Neutralisation

The peel is allowed to work for a precise amount of time based on your skin type and concern, then neutralised to stop the exfoliation process.

Soothing & Protection

The session ends with calming agents, barrier-repair serums, and broad-spectrum SPF to protect and hydrate the skin.
